BANDOLERO UPDATE - SATURDAY, MAY 3, 2014

Saturday's Bandolero race had Ethan starting inside Row 3.  He wrecked going into Turn 1 on the opening lap, breaking the spindle on the front suspension and finishing last, with only 1/4 of one lap completed. Our night was over.

Racing again in two weeks, with Modifieds and Bandoleros both racing.

DEBUTING THE NEW BANDOLERO - RESULTS 4/25 - 4/26

Another weekend of racing for Ethan, with him debuting his new car on Saturday.

Friday night racing saw Ethan start and finish 4th out of 9 cars.  He had a great night drafting in the strong winds that blew through the Vegas valley this weekend.  

The new ride was just a little "off" on Saturday since we did not get to test the day before, like we wanted to. The decision was made to just go ahead and race the new car, working out any bugs and/or handling issues on race day. We have to say we are pretty happy with the car, and Ethan's own ability to overcome some handling issues.  After starting 8th, and running the third fastest lap times of the night, Ethan just could not make a move to pass when the entire field of cars were so close in lap times.

BANDOLERO BANDITS FEATURE RESULTS:  1. Austin Snyder; 2. Kyle Keller; 3. Dezel West; 4. Mason Sargent; 5. Gino Marretti; 6. R.J. Smotherman; 7. Gianna Marretti; 8. Ethan DeGuevara; 9. Tye O'Hanley

BANDOLERO BANDITS RESULTS - 4/11 thru 4/13

Nothing quite topped this smile, this past week, when Ethan laid eyes on the new Bandolero that his dad has been working on so diligently. One happy, appreciative boy makes all that hard work worthwhile.

Ethan raced Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday this past weekend (no racing for Joe).  He posted a 6th place finish on Friday; a 7th on Saturday; and a 5th on Sunday, after three cars were disqualified for running illegally, and had engine parts removed.  These same cars have been winning for the last three weekends.

IN WITH THE NEW...2014 BANDOLERO

Ethan's new Bandolero - just finished and fresh from graphics detailing by our sponsor, CSM GRAPHICS.  A few details are needed still, but Dad/Joe's working hard to have it ready.

The old (backup car), and the new, for 2014.

RACING RESULTS: 4/04 - 4/06/2014

Ethan, and his Sudden Impact/CSM Graphics Bando, posted another great weekend of racing.  Well into his first full season driving, Friday night he finished 6th out of 12 again, with another smooth, consistent run.  He had an outstanding night Saturday, and now leads the Rookie Points Standings thru this weekend.  He is learning to search around the track for new racing lines, and finding out what his Bandolero needs to go faster.

After starting 6th in a field of 9 cars on Saturday night Ethan used his head, running high and low until he found what made his car drive the best.  He then drove up to 6th but could not complete the pass prior to the checkered flag.  We could not have been prouder of a 9-year-old using his head, searching for speed and learning all the time.  Way to go, Ethan!

Joe, driving the Sudden Impact/Whal Traction/CSM Graphics/Horn Industries Modified, was 2/10 faster than the field of 12 cars on Friday and Saturday until the left front shock broke during qualifying Saturday, slowing the car by 4/10, for 3rd fastest time.  Wahl Traction replaced the shocks and we were fast again.

With the invert of 4 cars, Joe started outside Row 1.  On the start of the race the Pole sitter was too fast entering the corner and went up the track with no place for Joe to go but to follow him up, allowing 3rd and 4th to pass on the bottom.  Joe dropped behind the Pole Sitter for 4th, until the yellow came out.

On the restart, Joe beat the inside car off Turn 2 and took off, chasing down the leaders.  He had caught the leaders when another yellow flew.  Restarting, this time on Row 2 (3rd) - when they went green, the Pole Sitter missed a shift and Joe drove down into Turn 1, taking the lead and racing side by side with 2nd for 2 laps.  At that point, the 3rd place car caught us and drove into the back of Joe’s car, crashing both Joe & 2nd place, and damaging our car.  Unable to continue, his next race is on the Modified Tour in Blythe, CA.

THE 2014 SEASON BEGINS...RACING UPDATES - 3/28 THROUGH 4/06

Racing season is in full swing once again, and we look forward to updating the blog on a more timely basis this year, keeping everyone "in the loop"...

The weekend of 3/28 found Ethan racing his Sudden Impact Auto Body/CSM Graphics Bando on Friday evening, where he finished 7th out of 12.  Saturday he finished 6th out of 12 cars - we continue to be so proud of our "Up and Comer"!

Joe and Ethan both raced this past weekend (4/04), with Joe driving his InfernoMotorSports/Sudden Impact/Horn Industrial/Wahl Traction/CSM Graphics Modified, and Ethan back behind the wheel of his Bando.  This was Week 2 for Ethan, and Opening Race 1 Weekend for Joe.  Stay tuned for results...
