Of special note are the 50 photos by our friend, and photographer extraordinaire, Tamara Kenyon of tk-foto.com.  Some of the most amazing images, from the Boise Halloween Classic, that really captured the Emily, the racing, and the new car.  Thanks, Tamara!

We’d like to thank Tamara Kenyon, a Boise-based photographer for all the wonderful images you see in the header.  She’s a great photographer, and a good friend, be sure to look her up at tk-foto.com.

Soon, after all the dust settles up here in the virtual world, I’ll be updating you on all the recent changes to our racing program, and our plans for 2012.  Stay tuned.

Trailer

In preparing to travel from here to Texas to pick up the new car (1,800 miles each way) I thought I should have the trailer checked out.  I had noticed in the last few trips that the curb side seemed to look a little lower in the rear view mirror than the street side.  I measured, and yes it was.  I crawled underneath and was concerned about some things I saw.

I called our trailer guy, he said to check with a body shop.  I called our body shop and they said call a truck company.  I called the Kenworth factory (here in Seattle) and they referred me to the best truck frame shop around.  I took the trailer to them and they said: please don’t drive this trailer on the road.

While the main frame rails and the inner connections were fine, the outriggers that go from the main frame to hold up the entire box of the trailer were a mess.  Literally every other one had a cracked or broken weld, one was even hanging there only by the screws into the floor. And the welds that weren’t cracked looked like they were done by a shop class dropout.

So the question was, how to fix it?  The right way is to 1) remove the contents, 2) remove the cabinets, 3) remove the box, 4) remove the floor, 5) weld up the main frame, and then reverse the process.  I said, really?  They explained that the welds that are crucial are the ones that run along the top of the outriggers (the welds most frequently broken) and they take all the stress.  Sure you could try to fix it from underneath, trying not to set the wood floor on fire, but you’d never get the crucial part of the welds.  It would just break again.

Picking Up the New Trailer at T&E

The long and the short of it: we needed a new trailer.  After much research, I decided that we should get a well made trailer that would last.  And that meant a T&E.  So just before the new year, I placed an order for a new T&E trailer.  Just after my birthday in March, I drove out to Herscher, Illinois to pick up the trailer and drive it home.  With the help of my good buddy Ed Hauter, we drove 2000 miles, and 38 hours straight to get it home.

And that was only the beginning of the trailer story.  Because, of course, I had to remove the brand new CTech cabinets from the old trailer, move them to the new T&E, and completely outfit it.  And clean up the old one and sell it.  That’s an off-season’s worth of work alone.  But I had a car to build on top of that, and then…

Truck

It was just a short trip to Sears to pick up a sander.  In, out, maybe a half hour.  I had just pulled out of Sears, and was waiting at a light when WHAM!  I was rear-ended by an 88-year-old guy.  At speed.  It wasn’t clear he had even slowed down.

The good news is that no one in either vehicle was hurt.  I was fine and so was our dog in the back seat.  The old man was fine, so was his wife with the walker, and their 44-year-old nurse sitting in the back seat (why wasn’t she driving?).  That was where the good news stopped.

His Buick

His car was totaled.  It was a Buick Century, of course, and it was leaking all kinds of ugly things, and running at high speed.  I quickly got out and told him to shut it off.  As I went back for my license and insurance info, I heard him restart it.  He just wanted to move it away.  Ugh.

Truck Damage

And the truck was damaged pretty badly.  It didn’t look too bad, but the body shop confirmed that the frame was bent.  Double ugh.

After much thinking and debating, I realized I didn’t want to try to tow a new, even larger trailer with a truck that had been “fixed”.  I trust our body shop, they are the best.  But I just didn’t want to worry about it.

The Beautiful New Truck

The instant it was repaired, I took the truck directly from the body shop to the dealer and traded it in on a new 2011 Denali Dually.  All my friends convinced me that I would be much happier with a dually, and they are right.  It tows wonderfully, and has all the creature comforts.

So, aside from the building a new car from scratch, we have a new truck, a new trailer, and more projects than you can shake a stick at.  That’s why it’s been nine months since my last update.

But the good news is that it’s almost all done now.  I promise a prompt update that will bring you up to speed on the new car.  And it’s exciting new technology.  Stay tuned!

We ended the year with several key observations:

1. We can be successful.  We went to the fourth round in a very competitive division race, and we won a PNSCA race.  We were as high as 8th in the division, and 3rd in the PNSCA.  Emily can drive, I can give her a winning car, and we can make it work.  If we hadn’t been nibbled to death by gremlins in the second half of the year, we would have easily met our goals of top 10 in the division and top 3 in the PNSCA.
2. Our car is tired.  It’s clear that, as much as we love it, a 13 year old hardtail car just isn’t competitive anymore.  We had numerous problems with breaking welds, many brought on by the added horsepower we need to keep pace with the class.  And a hardtail car, which requires us to carefully log and compensate for every bump in every lane of every track, just can’t cut it.  At the very least we’d have to tear the car completely down and have it checked and rewelded in many places.  And we’d still have a 13 year old hardtail car.  Hmmm…
3. We have to fix the fuel system.  We spent much of this year, and a good portion of last year, fighting a terrible stumble on the hit of the throttle.  At the end of the year we lost three consecutive first rounds due to this problem.  We kept thinking we’d found it, but it came back.  Time and again.  That definition of insanity…

So, while we know we can win, we need to fix some things to really be competitive.  First on our list is that aging chassis.

Gutted Car

Over the last two years, I’ve done a lot for this car.  As you’ve seen, I’ve completely rewired it, built a whole new dash, added state-of-the-art electronics, completely overhauled the engine, put in new fuel, CO2, and cooling systems, and generally done a lot to bring it up to date.  But it’s all based on a chassis that just can’t cut it in today’s world.  It’s time to fix that too.

We looked at several options, including “back-halfing” the car, where you tear out the rear end and put in a modern four-link suspension.  But it’s pretty expensive, and we’d still have an old car up front.  And we could end up with a Frankenstein’s Monster, where nothing is right because it’s not all designed together.  The motor area, where we had all the welds break this year, would still be old, we’d have to fix that too.

I started looking at options for a new chassis.  There are a number of people making very nice cars today, almost all of them are 4-link cars – cars with a suspended rear end that can quickly move to take out the nasty bumps in the tracks we tend to race on.  People like Worthy, Mullis, and Undercover all make nice cars.  But ever since I saw my first TNT Supercar a couple of years ago, I thought: that’s the car to have.  Beautifully engineered, clean, and outfitted to the max.  They are done by a guy named Tommy Phillips out of Texas, and they are raced by a lot of people who win a lot of races.

Emily and Joe Monden

I researched TNT and discovered that while Tommy and company put the cars together, the chassis is in fact made by Joe Monden out of Gainesville, Texas.  The more I researched Joe, the more I liked what I saw.  Here’s a guy who knows what he is doing, is a straight shooter, and builds incredibly nice cars.  I looked at a car a local rep had for sale, and it was close, but didn’t meet our needs.  So we decided to go meet with Joe and look at having him build us a new chassis.  Em and I went down to Texas, visited his shop and he won us over.  We put down a deposit on the spot.

A new Monden car, just started that day

One of the reasons we decided to have a car built for us is because we’d both like to drive.  Our current car is an 18 car, that is, it’s 18 inches across where the roll cage meets the frame.  That is tiny, a car made for a small driver.  A driver like Em.  But I can’t even get my keister part way in it.  Today’s standard is 23 inches wide, into which I fit just fine, thank you.  But of course Em loves the current car.  It fits like a glove, all the controls are easily within reach, and she’s snug as a bug.  In a 23, she is dangerously loose and can’t reach anything.

To fix this, we’re having Joe make the car with adjustability in mind.  The pedals will move (a standard feature in most cars), the dash will have two positions, and the steering wheel will have two positions as well.  We’ll also be having a poured-in foam insert made to give Em the safety and security of feeling nice and tight in the seat.  All of these features can be changed over in about an hour, meaning we could have a weekend where she drives one day, and I drive the next.  Or more commonly, when she’s off making a living, I could go to a weekend race by myself and have some fun.

A Monden car ready for the body

Joe builds a state-of the art car, with a fully-triangulated four-link suspension.  This is a new concept for a dragster, one that very few cars have.  What this means is a much more stable car.  In a typical suspended car, the rear end can twist a great deal under the incredible torque that the engine exerts.  This can be OK, as the suspension is just responding to the load.  But it means you have to fiddle with the springs and shocks to adjust it just right.  With a fully-triangulated suspension, the back end can’t twist, and it’s so stable that Joe just builds it with one spring/shock package.  Less to adjust, and a much more stable car.

TNT's first mono-shock car

This is such a radical idea, that TNT has only started to get cars with this suspension, even though Joe’s been building them like that for quite some time.  We saw the first one made with it for TNT when we were there, and it was specially made to have both the new and old suspension.  Just in case.  I’m sure once some of their customers try it, they’ll love it.

We had a great visit with Joe and are extremely excited about the new chassis and body.  We should see it in a couple of months, and I’ll be driving down to Texas to pick it up.  Then it will be a winter of moving everything (engine, tranny, electronics, etc.) from the old car to the new car.  Essentially building a car from scratch.  It’s a big project, but I needed something to keep me busy.

In addition, we have some plans to address #3 from our list above.  But that will have to wait until later.  I’ll be sure to keep you updated on progress and on the more exciting changes to come.

But then reality reared its ugly head.  In our first test run at Woodburn, the car wouldn’t shift.  This was a problem we’d had in Seattle, and had assumed it was electrical in nature.  I had changed the ignition box to fix it.  It was a gremlin we assumed was long since dead.

After some brilliant diagnosis by our friend Ed Hauter, we discovered the shift linkage was off by about a sixteenth of an inch.  It worked fine on the jackstands in the pit, but on the track, with the car under load and the chassis arched, the linkage was just out of alignment.  We fixed that, and made a marvelous second test pass.  The clouds had parted, birds were singing, all was good.

And then reality hit again.  In round one, facing the number one guy in points, the car stumbled so hard on the starting line that it actually died.  Had to get pushed back.  Ugh.  This stumble was also a gremlin we thought we had vanquished.  Apparently not.  After tearing apart the carburetor that night, we made another beautiful test pass in the morning on Sunday.  And again, in round one, facing the Saturday winner, it did it again.  Died on the starting line.

The result was that we dropped from 3rd in the PNSCA points to 4th.  Still above our 8th place finish last year, but one short of our goal of a top 3 finish this year.

Licking our wounds, we made the long haul to Medford for the last Division Six race of the year.  Long conversations with our carburetor guy, and some tweaks done, we were ready to go.  We rolled off the trailer, and made a series of pretty good test passes.  We were ready to go.  Maybe, just maybe, we could move up from 12th in the points into the top 10, our year’s goal.

But it was not to be.  In round one, the car stumbled so badly that Em had a ridiculously bad .200+ light.  And the day, and the season was over.  We are currently 17th in Division Six, and we hope to not fall any further when the final race of the year in Vegas happens in early November.

This was such a promising year.  We were as high as 8th in the points.  We went to the fourth round of a divisional event, as far as we’ve ever been.  We won a PNSCA race.  We were on a roll.  Until our 14-year-old chassis just got tired and caused a chain reaction of disaster after disaster.

All is not lost.  We have a fix for it all.  And some exciting news about next year.  But that will have to wait for the next installment.  Look for an update in the next few days.

Headed for a Win in Mission

It was also the last time we had a clean weekend without any car issues.  Since then, we’ve lived a nightmare of “if it’s not one thing, it’s another”.

We went right from the high of that win in Mission, BC to the National event in Seattle the next weekend.  National events are their own special nightmare of hurry-up and wait.  We drove directly from Canada to the lineup for parking at the Seattle track.  That was Sunday night.

Then Wednesday, it was time to choose a pit and park the rig, a four hour ordeal of waiting and waiting for your turn.  Thursday was tech — nothing but tech inspection.  A two hour round trip to the track for a 5 minute tech inspection.  Friday we got two time runs the first chance to actually run the car, five days after we had brought it to the track.  The runs were OK, but not great.

Then Saturday we had round one.  Which we lost in an ugly fashion when the car unexpectedly ran well off the prediction, for reasons we still haven’t figured out.  Within a week we went from the highest high to the lowest low.

We had a two week break, then we went to the divisional race in Spokane.  We went to the test session on Thursday, and ran a perfect 9.05 right out of the trailer.  We made another fantastic run that day, and thought “the magic is back”.  How wrong we were.

The next day, the first day of time runs, we couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn, with three runs that were way off the number.  Then we got a fourth run that day, and the car twisted and squirmed so hard off the line that Emily actually had to get out of it.  We couldn’t figure out what could possibly be wrong, so we went to bed.

In the Lanes

The next morning, when checking the car over, I discovered that one of the motor mounts had broken, completely in two.  Fortunately our friend and expert welder Jeff Yoder was there and was able to weld it back together.  But we missed the first time run that day.  The next run was dead on, so we figured we had it nailed.  And maybe, just maybe, it explained the terrible runs the day before.  Except it didn’t really fix it.

The next morning, Jeff noticed that we had two cracked motor plate mounts.  He came over, expertly welded them, and we thought, “phew” we dodged a bullet on that one.  And maybe had fixed all the motor mount issues.  (Except we hadn’t, as we found out later.)

In the first round of eliminations, we pulled up against Michael Dalrymple, the number 6 car in the world, and the leader in the division.  And we beat him, soundly.  That put a spring in our step, until we lost in the next round to Andy Morris, another divisional heavy hitter.  But we escaped from our gremlin-filled weekend with some good points.  And left number 8 in the division.  Not bad.

We next headed to Bremerton for a PNSCA race.  It was a disaster.  On Saturday we had a truly weird run, in round one, of course.  The car left the line, went on the stop (eased off on the gas as controlled by the delay box) just as it should, resumed hard acceleration, then … strangely, went back on the stop!

After spending all kinds of time trying to understand what went wrong, we discovered that all the twisting and torquing of the frame (caused by the broken motor mount) had broken a wire into the delay box, causing it to reset halfway down the track.  That was incredibly hard to find, but easy to fix.  But in the process we discovered that a weld holding the dash in place had broken, so we had more damage from the motor mount issues.

The next day, we discovered more damage.  Strangely, after our first two time runs, the battery was very, very low.  Normally it’s at something over 80% after a run, now it was at 20%.  I checked the alternator, and sure enough, the connecting wire was quite subtly broken.  A clear result of the twisting of the engine in the frame.  And of course, I couldn’t get the new one connected to the alternator because the connecting screw was a mess.  Fortunately, we carry a spare alternator, and it was quickly in place.  But we still had to rush to charge the car.  And that threw us all off our game.  We lost in round one.

The Fam Watching the Winners in Bremerton

We went the next weekend to the divisional race in Seattle.  The first test and tune run was a cold morning, and the track was a mess.  Emily had to get out of it, after the car got almost sideways, resulting in a throwaway run.

In between runs, our friendly welder, Jeff, came over and noticed that, we had four broken components to our motor support system.  The two thrust rods that prevent the engine from twisting in the frame looked OK but were broken.  And that had caused the previous failures (see above), as well as slightly cracking even the welds Jeff had done in Spokane.

The next run was fine, so we were feeling pretty good.  Except, when I checked the car over, the motor mount on the other side had broken.  Fixing the thrust rod that connected to it, had finally put enough stress on it to break it.  We rushed to Jeff, he welded that together, we replaced it, and we went to bed feeling OK.  Maybe, just maybe, we had finally found and fixed the last of the motor mount issues.

The next day, now the only time run day due to advancing weather, was an unmitigated disaster.  The morning began with Emily getting into an ugly scooter accident in the pits within minutes of the first run.  She scraped up her shin and hands, torqued her right wrist, made a mess of the scooter and badly bruised her ego.  Then we rushed up to the first time run.

It was not good.  The car strangely leaped off the line, like it wouldn’t hold on the transbrake.  It was an embarrassment and a disaster.  But both she and I wrote it off to her pain in the wrist and not being able to hold the button.  So we didn’t fix anything.

How wrong we were, when the car did the exact same thing on the next test.  Again, more embarrassment in front of a good crowd.  Ugh.  When we got back, I discovered that the ground for the transbrake was barely connected, almost falling off.  Another consequence of the terrible torquing and twisting of the car.  And a great explanation for the problem.

So we went up for the third test session, and not only did it do it again, but it acted so bizarrely that Emily shut it down at about 60ft.  And had to get pushed back off the line.  The ultimate embarrassment.  Oh… my… god.  I checked everything electrical over under the dash, found some OK, but not quite tight enough ground wires, and we went sulking home.

The next morning, I awoke with the brilliant thought that maybe it was a loose ground or wire elsewhere.  So checked the entire rest of the car, and found… nothing.  At the last minute, I decided to change the transmission and torque converter.  It’s an ugly job in the garage, and a really tough one in the pits.  But with the great help of our friends Ed Hauter and Greg Pessimier, we got it done.  Unfortunately we missed the only time session of the day, so we had to go into round one blind.

But confident that we had fixed everything, we went up ready to kill in round one.  The car held on the line and left wonderfully.  And… never shifted.  Holy cow, what else could possibly go wrong?

Lining Up against Dale Hrenko

The weekend was a nightmare, but we’ve had time since then to lick our wounds.  The tranny and converter when off to their respective doctors, and I ordered replacements for the ignition and delay boxes.  Maybe we can put this all behind us.

But, as you can probably guess if you’ve stuck it out this far in this sordid tale, both the transmission and converter were deemed “good as new, not a thing wrong” by their respective doctors.  So there was no explanation for the bizarre behaviors we saw.  In desperation, today, I swapped out the ignition box.  It’s the venerable whipping boy of the drag racing world, if things are not working, and you don’t understand why, change the ignition box.

On Friday, we head off to Woodburn for our last PNSCA double-header with a car that’s got all kinds of things welded back together, a transmission and converter that worked at the beginning of the year, and a brand new ignition box.  Join us in crossing every finger and toe you can find, that we’ve finally got it all back together.

Thanks for reading this long, and long-overdue, entry.  We’ll let you know how we do.

In addition, EMDUB Racing will be racing at Bremerton Raceway Park for a PNSCA race on August 14th and 15th. Please check out Bremerton Raceway for ticket information and directions. The following weekend, EMDUB Racing will be at Pacific Raceways for the Lucas Oil Divisional race. We will be at the track Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Please check out Pacific Raceways for ticket information and directions.

Please let Chris or Emily know if you need more information about the races. We would love to see some friends and family at the track!

Deep in thought

In this thought process, I realized that drag racing is not about winning. To many of you, this may seem like a cop-out statement. But I truly believe that you can learn the most from the moments in which you lose. Drag racing is a particularly interesting sport in that most participants lose a majority of the time. How does one keep up motivation with the odds so highly stacked against them? In my short three years in drag racing, I have seen racers lose passion, desire and motivation for the sport. It always saddens me when I see this, as I have yet to feel that way.

Our win the other weekend really opened the doors to so many things for us. We both felt as though we no longer had any barriers holding us back. Coming into the race this weekend, we both had endless confidence. However, our first round loss left us more frustrated than we had been in a long time. As I read the quote about motivation on our way home today, I suddenly realized why I love drag racing. I love drag racing because it forces me to know myself and what I’m capable of, and always leaves me craving more. At the end of a race I desire to know the car better, the track better, and myself better.

It is important to note that winning plays a very small role in my motivation. Winning is the result of all this hard work. But if you strive for the result, you miss all of the important steps along the way. For instance, you cannot win the race in round one. You win a race by consistently repeating those important steps time and time again. And without the motivation to continue, quite often without the reward of winning, drag racing can be quite painful.

I’ve finally realized that the passion for drag racing comes from within. I love this sport for what it brings out in me. I am constantly striving to improve and that is enough motivation for me. I only hope I can continue to remember this important lesson.

All smiles in the staging lanes at Mission

We were at Woodburn Dragstrip last weekend for the divisional event. It was wonderful to see some old friends (and meet a few new ones!). We, also have always loved that track and now that Jay Livingston is in charge, the track is an all-time favorite. Jay did a great job prepping the track and organizing the event this year. It was truly an enjoyable experience. And as many of you know, not all races are enjoyable.

The weekend started off with a test and tune on Thursday. Chris and I managed to get back from our stellar vacation at midnight the night before and headed to the track on a few hours later. We met up with Paul Nero for a new set of Hoosier slicks. He had them mounted in no time flat and we were off running. When we returned from the first test pass we noticed a huge blister on the front left tire. It’s not recommend to run with a blistered tire (at 173 mph), not to mention it can severely impact performance on the track. After a chat with Paul, we decided it was best to swap those out for a new pair as well. With all new tires (and empty pockets) we finished up the test session with another solid run.

Qualifying on Friday and Saturday was long and quite uneventful. We did, however, qualify for the Shootout race on Saturday. Qualifying for this based on the first 8 qualifiers for the divisional event who have chosen to enter the Shootout. Those 8 racers then forfeit their Saturday qualifying runs for Shootout eliminations. Unfortunately we lost in round one the Shootout to a very good racer, Andy Morris. Although disappointing, we simply rejoined the event qualifying field. And we even made back the money for the entry fee.

When Sunday finally rolled around we were more than ready for eliminations. We managed to go round after round, finally ending our streak in the fourth round to Super Comp rookie, Don Knoblauch. Don went on to runner-up in the event. We were so thrilled to have made it to fourth round (the quarter-finals) at a divisional event. We had huge smiles painted on for days to come.

This brings me to the current weekend. After a couple days off, we packed up again and headed across the board to Mission Raceways for a PNSCA double-header. As you’ve seen in previous blogs, we have a huge issue with the front end of our dragster jumping out of the beams on the starting line at this track. This is the only track where this is an issue and we’ve changed a number of different variables to try accommodate for this issue. Because the divisional event at Mission was so touch-and-go with the rain, we did experience it too much at that event earlier this year. But it was glaringly obvious this past weekend.

Seconds from a dreaded Red Light

Saturday consisted of some confusing and frustrating red-lights and gorgeous passes. But a gorgeous pass means absolutely nothing if that red light comes on. Unfortunately, round one was no different. The car jumped the beams and left me a loser on the line. We decided to inflate the tires quite a bit, creating more spin off the line and preventing the car from jumping as high on the leave. We were able to make a test pass and our solution proved to work just fine!

I forgot to mention that because this race was sandwiched between a big divisional event and the national event in Seattle, the car count was very low on Saturday: 7 cars. On Sunday, which happened to be the Fourth of July, we only had 5 cars! Chris and I were not about to let this opportunity to make up some ground in the points go to waste. After a long morning (and afternoon) of broken cars at the line, oil downs on the track and rain delays, we finally made it to round one. We qualified number one, giving us the bye in round one.

After a couple of good passes (and a little luck) we found ourselves in our first final ever! Our last opponent was Mike Popal, a Canadian racer who runnered-up in our PNSCA race on Saturday. He had me on the line, but I caught him fast and took the stripe with a double-breakout. Luckily, we ran closer to the 8.90 dial in than Mike and took our very first race win! I was so stunned when that final win light came on I wasn’t sure if I’d really just seen it. After a few screams into the radio and a good number of fist pumps it finally sank in that I had just won a race. Now all I need is that trophy I earned!

On our way home from Mission we dropped our trailer off in line at the Seattle National Event. This is our biggest race of the year and it’s awesome to head into this race on the heels of our first win. Stay tuned for more updates soon!

EMDUB

We’ve had a fairly calm beginning to our season this year. We haven’t had any huge mechanical failures or disasters (except for setting the car on fire…) and weekends have all been predictable and consistent. It’s been comforting to head to the track and just have everything work. There have been the few hiccups in our plans, but for the most part we’ve been able to handle them with ease. I must admit, it’s really been a nice break from “racer’s panic.”

We’ve had been to three races so far this season: the Boise Divisional, a Woodburn PNSCA doubleheader race, and the Mission Divisional. The two divisionals have left us sore losers after round one. At Boise we lost by .004 at the finish line and Mission sent us home with a .003 holeshot loss (he beat me off the line). Although we hate losing first round, those were both amazing races. It just goes to show how close the Super Comp field can be! We were not sore losers by any means at Woodburn though. We made it to third round both days and even took home some money on Sunday. I had some of my best driving that weekend and Chris was really hot on the number. We most definitely drove away from Woodburn with huge smiles on our faces!

In terms of our personal lives, we have had some wonderful news in the past couple of weeks. Deb has been given the all-clear by her doctor and is officially in remission from her cancer. She was able to stop chemo and resume her normal lifestyle. We are all so thrilled at the news and equally as amazed at her strength throughout this process. She really is a warrior! In addition, Emily graduated from WSU with her Masters in Human Development. These two wonderful events happened within a week of each other. Needless to say, May was a very good month!

We will be taking some time off from drag racing for about a month. We don’t have any important races on our schedule and the Williams family will be taking some much needed time to celebrate all of our wonderful recent achievements. Our next race will be the Woodburn Divisional in June. We hope to see all of our fans out there. Also, stay tuned for some new EMDUB Racing apparel!
