UPPATES ON ROGER IN MEXICO

Roger is racing in a road race across Mexico. Qualifying on Day 1 he was 1st by 12 seconds...here is the link.

He beat the guys who have won this race before. Read Roger's blog to find out the prestige of this race. This is one of the biggest motorsports races in all of Mexico. Very cool.

GO ROGER

I wanted to give a shout out to our very own Roger Habich who is racing over the next week across the streets of Mexico. Check it out on his blog here. Here is an article int he Everett Herald about his journey here.

93 LAPS TO GO

Last night I led my first race! That's right, I started on the pole and led the first 7 laps, and now I just have to figure out how to lead the next 93 and I will win. It was a blast being out in front with clear track ahead. I was screaming to the guys on the radio, "I'M LEADING FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER..."

It doesn't matter what it is. It could be business, raising children, leading a church, or whatever, being out in front of the pack is exhilarating. Congrats to all the mom's, dad's, business and church leaders who work hard everyday to be the best.

CAR 76: RAIN OUT

We were ready for some good racing on Saturday night! Unfortunately some inclement weather blew through and ice fell from the sky in the form of hail followed by a torrential down pour. The track was soaked and racing slicks don't grip real well in the rain.

Here are some pics from Practice!

OPENING NIGHT AT EVERGREEN SPEEDWAY

The 31st was opening night for our race team. As previously announced I was to race the opener, but in light of some new sponsorship, Roger is competing for the NASCAR Washington State Championship and the Evergreen Speedway Championship.

We got started of good finishing 3rd to Busch Series Co-team member to Juan Pablo Montoya, Kevin Hamlin and local racer, Kelly Mann. Both Kevin and Kelly are not running the full season, so unofficially we are leading the points for the championship after week 1, 20 races left!

Check out http://www.rogerhabich.com/ to see his chronology of the race.

I want to say a great big thank you to MTS Construction, Rock of Ages Plumbing and The Rock Church who have been great supporters of the our race team. Also, big thank you to the eldership of TRC who got together and bought four tires for the race! We are off to a great start and it is going to be a lot of fun this year.
