Sears Family Racing

This past week/weekend (5/26 - 5/29) Jeremy and Ron made the trip down to Redding CA for four days of big money racing at Jesse Adam's May Money Madness event. The weather was good overall but we did have a couple rain delays on Saturday during the $10k to win race. Both "double entered" the event so it was definitely fast paced action if you remained in in both sides. Ron's car was easy to dial every round. The loose nut behind the wheel needed a little tightening though. Thursday and Friday he was all over on the tree both red and green and couldn't get past third round. Talking to other racers and they were having the same problem. He decided a little more focus might help. On Saturday his lights were more consistent, not stellar but good enough and in combination with a consistent car carried both entries into the fourth round. He lost on one side but continued on in the other for four more rounds down to the final six cars where he lost a close (mov .007) race to Rayce Kidd. Since the Saturday race ended Sunday morning, he decided to just run one entry. He was .002 dead two in round one, then turned on the red bulb .005 in the second.

Jeremy was deadly and so was his car all four days but kept coming up on the wrong end of good races through the first three days. On Sunday he "raced angry" carrying both entries into the sixth round (only one left double entered). Another close race knocked him out of one side but he worked the other one into the final round where he came up short by .001!

Overall a great week/weekend for both.

Our crew chief NormaJean stayed home and took care of the fur kids but her hard work getting things ready in just a couple days was so much appreciated.

As always we could not be as successful as we are without the help of our sponsors Yukon Gear & Axle, Puget Sound Petroleum, Truck Town Ltd., and Westbay/NAPA Auto Parts.

Next race for us is at Bremerton Raceway 6/4-6/5. The weather looks bad again but hey this is Washington so you never know!!

After two weekends of frustration with no racing due to several issues related to the weather, it looks very hopeful that we will get to put some laps on the cars this weekend at Bremerton Raceway! Come on out and check out the action!

Big thanks again to our sponsors Puget Sound Petroleum, Truck Town Ltd., Yukon Gear & Axle, and Westbay/NAPA Auto Parts!!

Our 2022 season started at home this year instead of at the Spring Fling Million due to issues beyond our control. Next year we will be back!!

Toward the end of last season Ron wiped out the ring&pinion along with twisting an axle on his dragster. That is all new along with a gear change from 4.10 to 4.30. Also a freshened up transmission and converter. Jeremy's motor, transmission and converter are all fresh in his dragster and Josh got away with just a tune up and oil change on his Monza.

At Bremerton Raceway 4/16 &4/17/2022 - We were planning to check everything out during the test and tune on Saturday but it was too cold and the rain rolled in before any fast cars could run. On Sunday it was still cold but no rain. The track crew worked hard but there were several delays early because of the temperature. The track came around enough to get the race in. All three cars performed well but the rust showed a little with the drivers. Jeremy and Ron both lost in the second round. Jeremy's was just a good close race and Ron went .001 red on the tree. Josh is running the Pro bracket this season to change things up. He went out in the third round with a red light start. Not a bad showing for the first race of the season with only two time runs but we always expect more.

We cannot be as successful as we are without our awesome Crew Chief NormaJean Sears and our sponsors. New this season Puget Sound Petroleum,and our returning sponsors Westbay/NAPA Auto Parts, Yukon Gear & Axle, Truck Town Ltd.

Next race for us will be 4/30 & 5/1 at Bremerton Raceway. Hope to see you there!

We will be doing a write up very soon of our week at the Spring Fling Million in Las Vegas so stay tuned for that.

At Bremerton Raceway 6/30/19 - Since we were running the NW Independence Shootout on Saturday, Sunday was the only day we got to race. The weather was perfect for racing again but the weather in our heads was a bit foggy after the Racer Appreciation Party the night before.

All three were moving slow but remember the tortoise and the hare.... slow and steady wins the race! For Josh the win did not come as he made an early exit in the first round. Ron was not a whole lot better as a red light in the second round ended his day. Jeremy on the other hand was the tortoise on this day as he went on to win his third event of the year!!

The win vaulted him from 6th in the season points standings all the way into 1st! We will see what happens in the final few points races, so stay tuned!

A big thanks to our Crew Chief NormaJean Sears and our sponsors Renegade Race Fuels & Lubricants, Yukon Gear & Axle, Westbay/NAPA Auto Parts and Truck Town Ltd. (David Robert Barcelon and Don Sefton).

Next race for us is 7/13 & 7/14 at Bremerton Raceway. Come on out and see if Ron and Josh can make a move in the points and Jeremy can extend his points lead!
