News... Night of Fire and Thunder Jet Car Nationals |
Night of Fire and Thunder Jet Car Nationals Wow, what a great weekend! July 3rd found us at the magnificent Bandimere Speedway for the "Family Fun Fest Night of Fire and Thunder Jet Car Nationals". This has always been one of our favorite events and this year looked to be as much fun as always. Along with Chuck doing double duty piloting both "Volcano" and "Gravity Storm", featured also was the "Incinerator"dragster of Darrin Bay, Bill Decker and "ThunderStruck", Tony Franco with "Terminal Velocity", Scott Ariaga in "Blu-by-U", Mark Stevens with "EarthFlight" and David Douthit with the "California Smoky". Also, Ed Jones with his "Jelly Belly" fire truck wheelstander, top fuel bikes and a full bracket field gave the fans lots to look at and see. First round matched Chuck in "Gravity Storm" against Bill Decker in "Thunder Struck". Considering the warm conditions and the altitude of the track, Chuck laid down a solid 6.204 E.T. @ 261.57 MPH. After leaving the car at the top end and a quick trip through the pits back to the staging lanes, Chuck was back behind the wheel of his girl, "Volcano" going up against Tony Franco with "Terminal Velocity". Not to be outdone, Chuck ran a 5.689 E.T. @ 285.77 MPH to Tony's 6.130 E.T. @ 236.88 MPH. Second round of the night found "Gravity Storm" up against Darrin Bay's "Incinerator". Darrin decided to sit out a round, so instead we found Barry Richter behind the controls. Unfortunately, we had to forfeit the round as we broke a starter shaft. Last run of the night was to feature the two fastest cars from round one to close out the show. This found Chuck in "Volcano" going up against Scott Ariaga in the "Blu-by-U" dragster. Chuck ran 5.633 E.T @ 286.80 MPH, unfortunately running a single as Scott blew a fuel line on the starting line and had to be shut down. Thank you to John, Sportie and the entire Bandimere family for including us to be a part of this great event. Special thanks to Tom for always taking such good care of us, and to all the Bandimere employees for your professionalism in all areas. And we could not do this if it wasn't for the help of Shane Gadsby, Les and Keith Jackson. Also a big thank you to Tyler for all your help in getting ready to go to Denver as well as for at the track. We could not have made it without the help of Billy Hosford and Darrin Bay in getting the motor fixed and returned to us in such a quick manner. Also a big thank you to David "Ollie" Scott in the garage getting the motor back in the car and everything re-connected. None of this would have happened if it wasn't for great friends like you! Now, we have time to get things back together, regroup and get ready for our next event. We will keep you posted and remember, check us out on facebook! On another note, we have had some email issues. Our friends and fans are one of the most important things to us. If we have not answered you back, please resend.

Newest Crew Member Has Arrived Izzie arrived this afternoon at 430 pm. Heather and Izzie are both doing great! What an absolute blessing to this season.7lbs, 11 ozs of beautiful baby girl! Poppa now has a new fan Congrats to Clint, Heather, Tyler and Raylee on the new addition. Love and Blessings to you all and we are so proud of our precious new member. Wow, is great to be able to let everyone know how this year has started out. So far we are slightly better than the bang we started the 2009 season out with, but not by much. First event of the season found us in Denver at the beautiful Bandimere Speedway for their seasoner opener on May 15. It was great to catch up with everyone after the busy off season.This was a one car event, so for a change, we found Chuck in the pilot seat for Gravity Storm. Unfortunately the night did not go off as we had hoped, as she would not fire up first round. A quick trip back to the pits, we tried everything we could think of, but again, we were unable to make second round. After a long trip home, we found that we had an electrical short with an ingintor wire. Thank you again to all the fans, whom had offered their support that night and since. You are the best part of everything. Also, a great big thanks to the Bandimere family and the great staff at Bandimere speedway for again having us be part of your night. Special thanks to Shane, Les and Keith Jackson and to Tom. It was great to see you all again and are looking forward to the chance to redeem ourselves on July 3rd. Back home, finished getting Volcano ready as the next event is Rocky Mountain Dragstrip in Salt lake , Utah on Memorial weekend, May 29th. Gravity Storm, with Curt White back behind the controls showed everyone what she could do. Running against Tony Franco in Terminal Velocity in the second round, Curt laid down a solid 5.585 ET @ 269.86 MPH, out ET'ing Tony by a good tenth. Awesome job, Curt! Unfortunately, we didn't have a time slip from the first run. That was the good news...now the other have of the story. Volcano, with Chuck at the wheel, came down to the line for her first run of the evening. That was a far as she went. The electrical goblins got us again, causing her to shut down on the starting line. We again tried everything we could think of in the pits between rounds, but could not find the problem. Upon inspection when we got home, it was a bad ground. But the other news is that we had a problem with the motor and it will have to be pulled when we get home. This has to be it, right? Again, big thanks to Ron and Jane and the staff at RMR for having be a part of the event. Also a thanks to Bart Beck and Lisa Haws for all your hard work. Could not have done it without you. Next event found us at Saskatchewan International Raceway on June 5th. Unfortunately, Chuck is going to have sit this one out, but gave him the chance to be on the starting line with Haynes Racing newest driver Andy Beauchemin for his first event since licensing last fall. The weather gods played havoc with the day, having a short shower come through. For safety reasons, the track officials decided for first run to only go to the 1000 foot, so the run results aren't near what Andy and Gravity Storm would be able to show. Second run, Andy ran a 6.052 ET @ 266.32 MPH. Thank you again to SIR Board and the staff for having us be a part of this event. Also big thanks to Kim Beauchemin, Alexandria, Matt and Casey Bastian for all your help in the pits. You all did great! It was fun to be able to check up with everyone, both friends and family. Next event will be one car. Gravity Storm with Kevin Olsen at the controls at Lewistown dragstrip on June 19th. Will have more details soon... Haynes Jet racing is now on Facebook

This is the hardest license to obtain with NHRA as is consist of 12 passes, done in three sessions over two days. Now that's a lot of driving, a 1/4 mile at at time. After a quick lesson and a blindfold test, Andy was strapped in and ready to give it a go. The first set of passes are with out burner, to give driver time to get use to the controls and the cars. Time to light her up on Sunday. Conditions were a little cooler at the track and Gravity with Andy at the controls ran very consistent runs varying from 245 to 251 MPH in the 6.50 ET range for the qualifying burner power runs. Congrats to Andy for all the hard work in reaching this goal. Now let's see what the futures bring. Special Thanks to Kevin Olson and everyone who came out to LDRA to give us a hand.

This promised to be a fun weekend, being able to catch up with family and friends, as well as the possibility of a new track record. First round Sat night did not quite go off as well as we had planned. Kevin, behind the controls of Gravity Storm, had a slight fuel leak on the starting line and for safety reasons, needed to forfeit the run. Chuck, piloting Volcano, did not want to leave the fans disappointed. After a magnificent fireshow, Chuck ran a 5.249 ET @ 301.00 MPH. And the crowd went wild!!!

Sept 5th found us out at Billings Motorsports Park for something a little different. For the first time in Billings, Chuck with Gravity Storm is going to start a little fire.......and incerinate a Cadillac. Yep, that is correct, we are going to do a car burn and cook that caddy! Down to the infield of the circle track, we backed Gravity Storm in to place and chained her together to the front of the cadillac. A quick hit of the switch and the motor starts winding up. Let the fun begin. A few fireballs and a couple of bangs later, we had the car in full flames. It was a real pretty thing to see.

After a long journey across the seas, the girls "Volcano" and "Gravity Storm" were safely tucked back into their trailer to head home to Bilings for a quick regrouping and then it was off to the races..... May 16th, race day is finally here, the kickoff to the North America portion of the "Force be with Us tour-2009" and with great excitement we head off to Bandimere Speedway in beautiful Denver Co. This is always one of our favorite places to go, not only for the facility that the Bandimere family run but also for all the many friends and fans that we get to touch base with again after a long winter. Alas, the evening did not go exactly as planned. First run found Chuck back behind the wheel of "Volcano". Proving that he always on his game, Chuck cut an 0.010 reaction time ending with a 5.540 ET @ 282.13 MPH. Next to the line was "Gravity Storm" with Curt White at the controls. Unfortunately, things didn't quite go as hoped. "Gravity Storm " was unable to get above 30% on startup and we had to lose the run. Back to the pits for a quck turn around and a little mechanical work, we are ready to head back to the starting line with "Gravity Storm". This time we were able to get past the starting issues and thought everything was going strong. Curt did a spectacular fire show for the fans and was heading in to stage the car to give it everything against his oppenent, when all hell broke lose, And we do mean literally broke lose. Following a unplanned fire show, the first stage turbine wheel had a problem and proceed to take apart the car motor from the inside. Chuck came back to line for the finale of the Chicago style face off. Again, Chuck laid down a 5.546 ET @ 291.63 MPH with another great reaction time of 0.048 . We do want to thank the Bandimere Family: John SR, "Sporty" and families for inviting us to be a part of event, As well as to "Tom" and all the staff at Bandimere Speedway. And "Thanks" again to everyone for your help at the races: Les Jackson, Keith Jackson, Shane Gadsby and Bobby Nickerson. And a big "Thanks" to all our fans who come to the races. You are all the reason why we are able to do what we do. Next event will be on Sat May 23rd at Rocky Mountain Raceway in Salt Lake City, Utah. Chuck and "Volcano" are primed and ready to give the fans a great show. Look forward to seeing you there.
