Racing History

Jason began his racing career in 2002 racing a 1977 Volkswagen Scirocco at Hudson Speedway in Hudson, NH in the roadrunners. Entering the season halfway, he still managed to get 3 wins that season and get several top 5's. After all that, he managed to finish 7th in points. He was also awarded Rookie of the Year.
The next year, 2003, he raced the same car and this year did a whole season. The highlights of that year include 5 wins, many top 3's, points leader until the second to last race and overall just a great season.
 
In 2004, Jason managed to not finish any lower than second place in every single race there was. Including 5 wins that year also. In short, what a great year!
2004 also brought on new territory as Jason moved up to the Late Models at Monadnock Speedway in Winchester, NH and did a couple races driving for another team. Unfortunately, nothing came of that, but it gave Jason many lessons and much more experience.
 
2005 was a year off and a year of building. The team worked hard all year long to build a 2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo to bring out the next year.
2006 was the debut of the Monte Carlo and was a rough year it was. Only achieving 2 top ten's the whole season, along with MANY rainouts, and having to rebuild almost the entire car halfway through the season after a fiery crash with the turn 4 wall. However, this was a year that taught Jason, and the team a lot about the bigger more expensive classes. As rough as the year was, a lot really was accomplished. A lot of lessons were learned and the team is ready for a fresh start in the 2007 season.
