A Holiday Thought....
The 2011 Racing Season ended on a high note. The team worked real hard after not being happy with the car after the first five races of the year. We made major changes to the chassis and found our change to be "the icing on the cake" as some would say. Matt thought the car worked absolutely great and our results proved that..

Everyone at MDB Motorsports would like to thank all our sponsors & fans for all their support and generosity in 2011 and wish everyone a happy holiday season....

Staying on Track....
MDB Motorsports Team is back on track since our Shangri La win, finishing in the top 5's.
This past weekend Sept. 9th and 10th we were at Motordrome Speedway in Smithton Pa for the Piney Lasky 100 at the start there were 42 registered and 34 qualified.
We were all very Happy with our qualifying lap which found us in the 8th position. After a redraw of the top 12 we started the 100 lap race in the 11th position.

It was an adventurous night, on lap 7 we had a down pour of rain which lasted over an hour. After a few meetings it was decided to get the race in that night, well Sunday morning that is. Needless to say it was a long night but at the end of the race at 2:40 AM Sunday Matt found himself in the 4th position.

We are looking forward to having two great finishes to finish out our season.

Our next Goal is to compete in the Fawl Brawl at Shangri La Speedway on Sept. 24th.
Then onto our final race of the season The North/ South Shootout in Asheville North Carolina In November.

Mid-Season update....

After all the hard work this winter putting a new chassis together for the 2011 racing season we finally got to hit the track for the first time with the new chassis on 5/21. We were very excited to be on the leading edge of technology for the chassis company trying their new chassis. After the first race of the season and only coming up with an 8th place finish we new we had some work to do.

After extensive phone conversations with the chassis engineers we made some changes to the car for the next race in North Carolina. After a few hours of testing we found we were having the same problem at this track that we were having at Lake Erie Speedway. We fought the problem the next day in the 125 Lap race and after getting tangled in a late race wreck we only managed to finish 14th. After many changes to the car per the chassis manufacturer we set off for Motordrome Speedway for twin features on 6/17. With only about 12 laps of practice Matt said the car is doing the same thing it did all season, it won't turn in the center... We tried some major changes and managed to pull off a 6th and 7th place finish in the features. Not what we wanted but it is respectable.

After returning home we sent many parts of the car to Michigan for analysis and they sent different parts to try. We tested 3 hours prior to the next race at Lake Erie Sat. 7/2 only to find the car was worst than ever... We raced that night and after getting caught up in an early wreck managed to finish the 75 lap race in 14th.. On the 6 1/2 hour ride home from the track we decided to stop being their "Guinea Pig" or test dummy. We decided to put our own set-up in the car, shocks, springs, etc. for the 100 lap event at Motordrome on Fri 7/8. After preparing for that event we found ourselves on the way to the track early Fri morning to get more bad luck. We received a phone call from the promoter saying the race was cancelled due to severe weather in the Pittsburgh Area.

Since Matt was home from North Carolina we decided to make some more changes to the car to get ready for his next race which was supposed to be in a few weeks at Shangri-La II in New York. After finishing setting the car up to our likings we made a decision to make the trip to the fast High Banked Concrete Oval on Sat. 7/9 to try it out. After only two rounds of practice for the first time all season, Matt had a smile on his face, he said the car was awesome!! Because of the handicap system the track has, we were forced to start at the tail end of the field in the heat race. At the end of the heat race Matt found himself in the 3rd position. Then after a redraw for the feature event Matt had to start in the 5th position. On lap 15 Matt took over the lead and said on the radio to the crew "this car is awesome" and held on to about a 5 car length lead over the current points leader until the caution flew with 2 laps remaining. On the restart the disgruntled 2nd place driver mutilated the right side of Matt's car trying to overtake the lead from him but Matt was able to hold him off to take the win. It was very emotional in victory lane with all that we have gone through this season. "I just want to thank my crew and my sponsors for sticking behind me this season and we are done being Guinea Pigs for the manufacturer." We are looking forward to the next race at Shangri-La II on 7/30 and with a few changes hoping we can see victory lane again!
