We're home now. The season has come to an exciting close with a big win at Atco, our last race of the year. The race in Reading, PA didn't go as well as we'd hoped it would, we lost in the second round. We were able to make the rescheduled Atco race the following weekend, so Ed & I stayed in PA for the week before driving to Atco. On Monday while we finished loading in Reading, Doug Foley had his drag racing school at the track & I was offered the opportunity to get in & go for a ride in his two seater dragster. WOW-what a great experience. Thank you so much to Doug & his driver Jeff. Wednesday, we did a display at the Bordentown, NJ Petro Truck Stop on our way to Atco. We arrived at Atco on Friday to set up & the weather was beautiful, the sun shined all weekend. Tommy was due to leave for Afghanistan on Wednesday of the next week, it was great to get a win at the final race of the season for a multitude of reasons. We wish Tom the best & safe return. Looking forward to seeing him in the beginning of March & getting ready for our return to racing action at the Gatornationals soon after that. Monday we left the racetrack & visited a TA Truck Stop in Paulsboro, NJ where we displayed the racecar. Tuesday we drove to Whitestone, NY to speak on Wednesday at the Lincoln Technical Institute located there. After a great visit at LTI Ed & I headed back to Cape Cod. We're now home & preparing for the 2011 season. Cleaning the shop, getting the car out of the trailer, & getting ready to head to SEMA next week in Las Vegas.
Will update again soon, thanks for checking in.

WAITING FOR THE SUN
Hey everyone!
Ed & I are hanging out at the Petro Truck Stop in Bordentown, NJ, approx. an hour from the Maple Grove track. Due to all the rain they've had in the area over the last couple of weeks, all of the grassy area at the track is mud-so they're holding off getting folks set up in the pit area until tomorrow.
Monday & Tuesday of this week I spoke at Pennco Tech in Blackwood, NJ & Universal Technical Institute in Exton, PA. Many of the students are automotive technicians in training but some were from a variety of other programs. We had a great visit at both schools.
Check out my facebook for updates from the track this weekend. We'll be trying to stream live video from the pits as well-hoping we have better internet service @ Maple Grove than we did last weekend. Check it out on the home page of our website.
I'll update you all again next week. Have a wonderful weekend and if you're at the track, come see us.

MONDAY
Hey Everybody,
It's Monday & I spoke at Pennco Tech in Blackwood, NJ this morning. On our way to Universal Technical Institute in Exton, PA to speak tomorrow. It definitely feels like fall is in the air-it's cold & rainy here.
Racing at Atco this weekend was cut short due to rainy weather. We qualified Saturday with the second qualifier also counting as the final round make-up from Englishtown where we shook the tires & broke the output shaft in the transmission. At that point the race was over & Frank Manzo got the win. Sunday the remainder of the Atco race was called due to track conditions & bad weather. The race has been rescheduled to be completed in two weeks.
Friday night our clutch man Charlie Mitchell was notified that his father John Mitchell had passed away unexpectedly. This was a shock to everybody on the team. Charlie, his son Joe, & the rest of the crew struggled through the weekend with heavy hearts and our thoughts and prayers with John. To offer condolences to the Mitchell family, please log onto www.brewittfuneralhome.com.
We'll be racing in Reading, PA at Maple Grove this coming weekend and will touch base later in the week.
Thanks for checking in.
