2012 SEASON

5/6/12- The 2012 season is not coming together in any way for Kyle. It looks like it will be some time before the 41o car is ready. There is a thing call priority and making a living. For Roan Racing that is it this year. Chuck is so busy with work that there is no time for racing. This is good for the family and making a living and that is the first priority. Time will tell how it all works out.

The trip to Granby has been cancelled due to equipment issues with the car Kyle was going to be running. At this point we are not sure if Kyle will run other races with this car. Here again time will tell.

On a positive note... research and conversations are under way to put together a car for the Virgina Sprint Series. This car will be housed and owned by Dad, Carl,  in Virginia. Kyle would race a few races with the car in the Virginia area starting next season. All for the fun of racing... This would be the first car owned by Drum Motorsports since the late model in 2009. A lot has happen since that time.

Times they are a changin. Racing is not what it was when Kyle first sat in a seat of a full size sprint. The money it takes to compete has exploded over the years. The economy has been extremely poor and still in question. Jobs are hard to come by and expendable income almost non existent for many people.

Gotta keep positive and keep racing...

2011 REVIEW

9/3/11- This past season was one of mixed emotions. Kyle and the team have gelled nicely. The cars are what Kyle wants and it showed this past summer. At Clinton County Kyle had very good runs and top 5 finishes. He is now where he needs to be... a front runner. The wins will come once the good runs and good finishes become a main stay. Clinton County cut the season very short actually cutting Kyle and the teams season short as well. Kyle finished third in the final points at Clinton County in the abbreviated season.

The team decided to try a run at Port Royal. Kyle absolutely loves this track. It is big and fast. THe car worked extermely well and Kyle was very comfortable on the track. A blown engine ended the night but two things did come of the evening. First , everyone know horsepoer is needed. Second everyone knows Kyle loves and can run this track.

2012 decisions will be made in the months to follow. There are many options at this point but Clinton County needs to decide what they are going to do. The team will be watching what other tracks are doing as well. In the meantime the engine building is underway. The car will be gone through as well as we await the plans for next season.

Thanks to all the sponsors and fans for their continued support.
