Weekend Off ..........No Way !!

We had a weekend off from Lake Erie Speedway, and Matt took off for the beach...The crew got to thinking...lets go to Shangri La Speedway, so they went to work setting up Matt's backup car for the 1/2 mile concrete oval, and told Matt to be home and ready to leave at lunchtime Saturday. So we set off to New York . First off we were all liking the amount of time it took to get there. When we arrived, we set out to try and compete with the high horsepower built motors, knowing we were about 100 horsepower short, we were ready for the challenge. Practice seemed to go well, but with very little practice we wanted to try something different in the heat race. The heat race didn't go quite so good. With trial and error sometimes error wins. The changes we made to the car made the handling go away as well as the speed.

Now the crew had some thinking to do as they began to make changes for the feature race. We thought we will just go out and give it our best shot. So starting in the 10th position we started passing cars, we were spun out twice, so had to restart in the rear , but the journey continued, and we got one back at a time, in the end finishing 3rd. Not bad for our first time at the 1/2 mile high banked concrete track.

"I really want to Thank the crew for getting the car ready for this race, I know they put alot of hours in with no help from me because I was at the beach. After all the changes we made, the car was handling awesome. I think the fact that the car was on a rail, it helped me to compete with the higher horsepower cars. It was alot of fun not worrying about racing for points, and having some family and friends being there to see me race."

On A ROLL...

If you would have looked at the weather you would of wondered why drive 6 1/2 hrs, but it payed off to make the trip.

The weather looked grim, rain, then sunshine....and then very dark clouds and wind, but it cleared to make for a great night for racing. Matt started the heat race in 5th and finished 2nd.
For the feature he started in the 6th starting position.By lap 10 we found ourselves in 2nd position, running down the leader who had a good jump on the start. On lap 20 the caution came out, we were looking for a good restart, but after being pushed up into the 3rd groove by the pole sitter it took a while to clean off the tires to gain momentum again, on lap 30 the caution was once again out, and the pole sitter thought he was at the amusement park in the bumper cars...not wanting to risk damage to the front suspension, Matt just decided to just let the ignorant driver pick the starting lane he wanted. He was able to hold on after several restarts to finish the race in the runner up spot.

Matt is really looking forward to the next race at Lake Erie Speedway, With one thing on his mind!!

Not by Lack of TryiNG...

Well the 150 has come and gone, we set out looking for a successful weekend but in racing sometimes you just can't control the outcome. Friday nights practice went well,so we settled in to get ready for Saturday. The heat race was not what we had hoped for because of luck of the draw, starting 8th but in the end we knew we would be okay for the feature.

We started off the grid 17th out of 28, I kept thinking it's a long road ahead, but with patience and perseverance we could end this well. The first 1/2 of the race was eventful, avoiding a few wrecks and passing one car at a time,by the 1/2 way point I was in 9th, feeling pretty good after the mandatory pit caution, so we set back out to work our way to the front, I was in 8th position on lap 118 when from out of nowhere I was T-Boned by a driver that dove into the infield in turn 1 and got me good. With Lake Erie's spinner and spinnee rule , I had to go back to the rear, with not many laps left and the tires going away I tried pushing the car for everything we had , we ended up respectively finishing 11th, although we felt we had a top 5 car .

Disappointed, yes I was, as well as the team that works so hard. Thanks to them for all the hard work. But as the saying goes.....That's Racing !!!!

With 5 races left in the season, we go back each week with more strategies to hopefully end up in Victory Lane in "2010"

Gaining Momentum...

With the 2010 racing season well underway the MDB Motorsports Team has been gaining momentum. After bad luck in race number one all we could do was look forward and dig our way out of the basement. It is tough to get out when you start out the season 13th in points after the first race, but with mother luck on our side, we have been moving in the right direction ever since. After running double features on July 3rd finishing fifth in race #1 and pulling off a 3rd place finish in race #2, Matt is shown fifth in points right now. It was a great night getting to talk and sign autographs for the fans, and hearing how much they appreciate that we travel that far for them to watch. "I really got to talk to a lot of my fans and they were able to show their support by wearing their MDB Motorsports attire." We are looking forward to the next race at Lake Erie Speedway on July 17th for the biggest race of the season, the Lake Erie 150. This is the race we have been preparing for since the beginning of the season. We feel we have a super chance for a great finish.

2010 Roller coaster ride of a season...

After starting the 2010 Racing season with many ups and downs, from being rained out on opening day to being extremely fast in practice on the rescheduled opener, to getting taken out of the race after contact between a competitor and the MDB Motorsports Chevy resulting in a broken tie rod.

On Sat June 5th we finally were able to show we are prepared for this racing season. We feel we have the perfect package to make it all happen this year, we just have to keep being very aggressive and smart at the same time. We pulled off the grid in the 11th starting position. The race was filled with action up in the front of the field as Matt went to work passing one car at a time, running the ever scary high groove. "We worked hard to get the car to work on the high side and it paid off, the car was awesome, it was like it was on a rail. When I got into 3rd position with 8 laps to go all I was hoping for was a caution to set myself up for a win." This great run gives the momentum needed to get us out of the rut from the opener.
Thanks to my team for all the hard work. We are looking forward to the race on June 12th at Lake Erie Speedway.
