I know it sounds a little strange but at our last race at
Orange Show Aug 9th, we crashed out, but had a good
night.
Kyle qualified 4th and
finished 2nd in the dash.
In the main he started
2nd and fell to 5th.
Kyle suddenly found
some speed and while
moving up, the leader
spun collecting our right front suspension in the tangle.
We were done for the night but Kyle continues to improve
on lap times and racing aggressiveness. Our next stop is
Las Vegas for the 1/4 mile race following the truck race on
September 20.

Kyle Wins Las Vegas 1/4 Mile Feature!
Kyle led all 20 laps at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway 1/4
Mile Track to score his first feature win.
The field of 13 Bandos was divided into two heats. Kyle's
heat consisted of 8 cars, 7 cars in the other heat. Starting
position for the heat was determined by draw. Finishing
position in the heat determined starting position in the main.
Kyle started in the 6th position. On the second lap he was
passing on the inside for the lead when the other car forced
him down. When his left wheels touched the grass, around
he went sending him to the back of the field.
He drove his way back to the lead winning the heat race.
Starting on the pole Kyle jumped out to an early lead. After
the midway point the #98 car of Jackson Smith challenged
on several occasions and passed Kyle at one time, but it
was short lived as Jackson spun after completing the pass,
bringing out the yellow flag. The final two laps were
exciting as the 01 car of Nicholas Thigpen dover under Kyle
entering turn 1 and cleared him. Kyle had a run out of turn
2 and passing Nicholas underneath. They drove the entire
next lap side by side as the white flag waved. Nicholas got
loose out of turn 2 and Kyle was able to stretch a 2 car
length lead and hold on for the win.

Havasu 95 Season Opener
October 4th brought a field of 14 Bandoleros to the Havasu
95 Speedway. Three new drivers were entered in their first
Bando race ever.
First and second place were never in doubt as Tommy Kelly
started on the pole and led all the way with Alex Morgan in
hot pursuit.
The battle for third was another story. This was a real
dogfight in the desert. Trent Kassic held the position for
much of the race with Kyle running on the inside for many
laps until Trent slipped allowing Kyle to take the spot.
Breanna Nelson kept the pressure on Trent for the
remainder of the Main Event but was unable to make the
pass finishing fifth.
