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...
