🏁 REGION 9 AT LITTLE WHEELS! 🏁

What a weekend of racing! The boys brought the speed, the aggression, and unfortunately… a little more carnage than we ordered.

🔥 RE*****ON 🔥
Re*****on went P3 in his heat and then went to work in the A Main, driving his way to a HUGE P1! 🏆🥇

The biggest win for us, though, is watching his confidence come back. He’s racing hard, making moves, and he’s back to passing cars! Watching him believe in himself again is pretty damn awesome. We couldn’t be more proud of him!

💥 MADDOX 💥
Maddox had some really strong heat races, putting himself in great starting positions for the B Main. Unfortunately, the racing gods decided he needed a little extra character development. 😂

He got caught up in wrecks caused by other cars, ultimately heavily damaging both of his cars. That one hurt. He was absolutely heartbroken, and we hated seeing him go through that.

But even through the frustration, we’re seeing something BIG from Maddox. He’s getting more aggressive, fighting harder, making moves, and showing some serious improvement every time he hits the track. The speed and confidence are there — now we just need to keep the cars in one piece long enough to show it! 😂

Two very different weekends for the boys, but both gave us plenty to be proud of.

Special thanks to Pete Hawkins for making the best motors out there.

It all started with one innocent Facebook message about a potluck after the race… and apparently the quarter midget families took that as a personal challenge. 😂

Next thing you know, we had enough food to feed the entire paddock, probably half the spectators, and a few people who weren’t even invited. 🤣

The quarter midget families absolutely showed OUT! What an awesome turnout and an even better way to end the night. 🏁🍗🍪

Racing may be expensive, but at least we know how to eat! 😂

Welp… it’s Thursday night, the track is damn near FULL, trailers are packed in like Tetris, generators are already screaming, kids are running laps around the pits, and somebody is probably already looking for a tire that mysteriously disappeared. 😂🏁

Yep… race weekend has officially gotten out of hand.

This weekend is our LAST Region race of the year, and it’s been one hell of a long, exhausting, stressful, expensive, ridiculously fun year for our race team.

One more weekend. One more shot. One more chance to spend money we definitely don’t have. 😂

Let’s finish this season out STRONG! 🏁🔥

Yesterday, Austin and Pavelek Racing gave us such a memorable retirement from Quarter Midget racing.

There wasn’t a dry eye in the place. It was an emotional way to close out an incredible chapter, and we’re so grateful we got to be there for it.

We’re excited to see where Austin’s racing career takes him next. Good luck, Austin! We’ll see you soon, buddy!

What a LONG, LONG weekend! 😂🏁

Re*****on had one heck of a weekend!

Saturday: Heat P2 ➡️ P2 and A Main P3 ➡️ P2 for a podium finish! 🥈

Sunday: He decided second place wasn’t enough… 😏
🔥 Fastest qualifying time!
🏆 Started P2 in the A Main and finished P1 for the WIN! 🥇

This kid keeps getting faster and more confident every time he hits the track. We are SO proud of him! ❤️🏁

Now we just need to figure out how to get him to sleep as fast as he races. 🤣🤣

Last Friday, Maddox got some valuable seat time in his new X-Wing car, putting in some solid practice laps and getting dialed in for the upcoming DOUBLE HEADER WEEKEND! 🏁🔥

Now it’s race week! Come out this Saturday & Sunday and watch Maddox and Re*****on tear up Little Wheels Race Track in Graham, WA! 🏎️💨

Only a few races left this season—let’s finish it strong! 💪🔥

Come watch the boys battle it out! 🏁🏆

Some of the biggest lessons in racing happen after the crash.

Watching a young racer climb out of a broken car with tears in their eyes, asking if it can be fixed so they can finish, is heartbreaking. They don’t see the damage—they just want another chance.

A broken race car may end today’s race, but it doesn’t end a dream. The greatest lesson we can teach these kids is that setbacks are temporary, resilience is earned, and champions are built by getting back up and racing another day.

🏁 The car can be repaired. The heart to keep chasing the dream is what truly matters.

Today was one for the history books for our team! We only ran qualifying and A-Mains, and it was a great day all around.

🏁 Re*****on
He laid down the fastest qualifying lap in Junior Novice, grabbing the top spot! His track record is still standing strong.

A-Main: P4 ➡️ 🥇

Re*****on has been making huge strides lately. He pulled off some clean, confident passes today, and it’s been awesome watching his racecraft improve. Advanced Novice might be right around the corner!

🏁 Maddox
Maddox qualified 3rd fastest in Senior Animal, and that car was absolutely hooked up. In LT160, he qualified 5th. We’re still chasing the setup in that class… but more on that below. 😏

A-Main Results:
• Senior Animal: P3 ➡️ P5
• LT160: P2 ➡️ P6

On top of the racing, today was a big day for the team. We picked up our new X-Wing from Pavelek Racing, and we can’t wait to get it on the track!

We also said goodbye to our Fanta Orange Nervo. It’s headed to an awesome family—Natasha Gibson, Joey Gibson, and Orin. We’re excited to watch Orin make some memories and race the wheels off that car! We will be transitioning the Lt160 engine into the X wing!

As always, a huge thank you to Pete Hawkins for building incredible engines and always being willing to share his knowledge and advice. There’s nobody better!

Well… the cat’s out of the bag! 😅

Ever since we listed our Large Nervo for sale, we’ve been getting a lot of messages asking what’s going on.

Since we got into quarter midget racing, the X Wing chassis has always caught our attention. Their aggressive left-side lean is designed to help maximize left-side weight, and the more we’ve watched them this season, the more impressed we’ve been with their performance.

So, we’re excited to announce that Maddox will be making the switch from his Nervo G17s to two Large X Wings! 🏁

Re*****on will continue racing our two Medium Nervo G17s.

We’re excited for this next chapter and can’t wait to get these cars on the track!
