50/50 Raffle Update

---For those of you who came to read the most recent race report, scroll down after reading the update---

Stage 1 Racing now has a webpage!!

I have been working with a few people and sponsors on a side project for the last few months to help new racers and prospective racers get help in the beginning of their racing career. help in terms of sponsorships, guidance, and benefits of having a crew in the pits. I was planning on releasing it in the off-season, but the large interest in the 50/50 raffle made me decide to publish the site this week, and continue to add to it as things finalize. I have never made a page before, so it is a little rough - but not too bad.

Check it out: www.stage1racing.com

A kink

Round 4/Round 5

Round 4 was to be held at Thunderhill in June. However, this year we have received record rain and our winter lasted into the summer (local ski resorts had good skiing on July 4th!!). This extended winter made round 4 nonexistent. I spent the money on gas, hotel, food and not going to work (yes, that is a cost); however the bike never left the trailer. I spent two days sitting in a cold rainy paddock waiting for the weather to give us even a glimpse of hope. It was definitely a kink in the plan to make the struggles of getting there worth it.

A little fly-by at Thunderhill


Round 5 came a month later, back at Infineon.
