Well, the 2008 race season has ended, and it was a good one. We faced adversity, with a number of mechanical issues and a garage burglary that nearly caused us to miss opening day. With the help of friends and fellow racers, we managed to put together a very successful season.

 

In fact, the AMXtreme team finished the year with not one, but TWO championships. Evan made it to an incredible 10 finals, winning seven. He won the O'Reilly Junior Dragster Challenge at Mid-Michigan Motorplex, and raced well at Bristol. He finished off 2008 with a flourish, with two wins and a runner-up in the final three races, making him the 2008 Mid-Michigan Motorplex Track Champion!

 

George also had an amazing year in the Kenosha Killer, riding an almost unbelievable string of four consecutive victories to the 2008 East Coast Nostalgia Super Stock Championship.

 

Depite missing 8 weeks of the season, Tom still finished in the top 10 in his points race. Highlights of his season were a semifinal finish in Pro class in the NHRA "King of the Track" competition and his first-ever 0.000 light.

 

Dick suffered from mechanical problems (gremlins?) in the Gremlin. Still, he managed to replace the motor, brakes, and various other parts to get it back on the track. With only a few races in 2008, Dick is eager for next year.

 

In addition, two AMXtreme vehicles garnered substantial interest from the television media. First, George and the Killer were featured in a "Pinks All Out" outtakes show. Next spring, look for Tom and the Rebel Machine on an episode of Muscle Car (Spike TV).

 

Wow...two championships, exposure on two national TV programs...what an incredible year!

 

We would like to thank all those who pitched in with a wrench, a rag, or a run to the parts store. A special thanks goes to Craig Blossom, who generously loaned us a car so that we could still compete in the day's race after Evan's car broke. Finally, we would like to thank our fans, whose support and encouragement is greatly appreciated. We hope you enjoyed the show.
