Weekly Update May 25th-27th

by Josh Flagner May 31, 2012

Usually, Steve O sends me weekend details and I post a big old Weekly Update. The email I got about Memorial Day weekend was so good that it doesn’t need to be rewritten. So, this week’s update is brought to you by Steve O himself. Some day we can all say we knew him when [...]

A Breakthrough Weekend

by Matt Obertanec May 30, 2012

Its about time! After almost a month of chasing our tails we finally figured out what was wrong with my car and fixed the darn thing. On my way into town on Thursday night, Steve sent me a picture of  an intake rocker arm that was completely backed off of its adjustment. That pretty much means [...]

Big Money, Big Pressure

by Steve O May 25, 2012

We all face pressure every day of our lives. Whether it is getting something done on time for work or pressures of making a large house payment. But imagine what it’s like to be a relief pitcher with bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th. A place kicker trying for the game winning field goal with [...]

A Weekend To Test

by Matt Obertanec May 23, 2012

This past weekend was a great time to test out some new things on my car. Friday night I finished putting all the rear end components in the car where they belonged, and for once everything worked out without a hassle. Saturday morning brought us into our trip to Quaker City Motorsports Park in hopes of testing [...]

Weekly Update May 19th and 20th

by Josh Flagner May 22, 2012

Remember last week when I said that a tough weekend would lead to lessons learned and positive results? Well, I sure do. Saturday Since Summit Motorsports Park gave the Mr. Gasket Super Series a week off to run the Cavalcade of Stars, Saturday saw the guys head down to Quaker City Motorsports Park to try [...]

An AMXciting week…

by Steve O May 18, 2012

Last week was a busy week at the garage. There never seems to be an idle moment over there. Last week was a push to get another 401 together for Dan Henderson’s AMX. Dan is another adopted Hanshue like we are. You will notice a trend in all of this, we do a lot of work [...]

Not Always A Good Weekend

by Matt Obertanec May 15, 2012

The good comes with the bad sometimes, and thats just the way it is. I’ve been racing for a few years now, and I can tell you that you just learn to move on and look at next weekend instead of dwelling on what happened the weekend before. This was a short weekend for us to start with because [...]

Weekly Update May 12th

by Josh Flagner May 14, 2012

We’ve all had bad days, right? We make a mistake or miss a detail, get frustrated, and drink too much. (OK, maybe the drinking too much is just me) Well, Saturday May 12th was that kind of day for Stevand Racing. The guys had great momentum after last week, but had a hiccup on a [...]

Money Doesn’t Grow on Trees Because the People Under Them are Priceless

by Steve O May 11, 2012

Twenty two years ago I was racing my 70 Javelin at Dragway 42. I can still remember the day I met Bill. I was pretty new and timid at the time and was wandering through the staging lanes on my way to get a drink from the concession stand. I made my way close to a beautiful AMC AMX in hopes the owner would [...]

What A Week!

by Matt Obertanec May 7, 2012

It is amazing what you can get done in a week that would typically take a winter’s worth of work to do! This past week was a perfect example of hurry up and get it done. With the weather forecast looking great for the past weekend it was not an option to sit it out. [...]
