09.02.05 ::  The team is in Indy at the 51st Mac Tools US Nationals. The biggest race of the year. Arthur qualified in the first session with a 5.52 @ 265 mph. The next few qualifying sessions are going to be experiments, again. Maybe he will hit on something good...There are 22 Alcohol cars, to qual for 16 positions, at the event, most are the best in the country.

08.27.05 ::  We have a WINNER.. Arthur had a single in the final round after Rich Bourke's car died after the burnout and he ran his quickest run of the weekend, a 5.42 @ 259 mph..Wow, some good news after Arthur winning first round today. It means Arthur will be the Jeg's All-Star rep for Div 1. The All-Star race is a race within a race. The best of the best from each division compete in Chicago, next month. The team has headed off to Cecil County Dragway in Maryland for the 5th of 7 Div 1 races. This will be another experimental weekend. Arthur is again trying something new to see if it helps with the performance of the car

08.14.05 ::  We Have a RUNNER-UP..Arthur went up against the Tom Conway tuned A-fueler driven by Steve Torrance in the final round. Steve posted a  5.23 @ 265 mph, to Arthur's 5.47 @ 267 mph. All in all the car ran good all weekend, and the team is happy with the results.

08.12.05 :: The team has headed off to Brainerd Minnesota for this weekends Lucas Oil National event. After winning last weekend, the team is hopeful that the car will continue to perform as it did at Maple Grove. Lots of really good car will be at this weekends event, but the weather is looking good for the A-fuel cars to dominate.

08.06.05 :: We have a WINNER. Arthur and the team won the Div1 race at Maple Grove PA, with low et of the weekend a 5.382 @ 264 mph, against Dave DeAngelis who ran a 5.702 @ 223 mph. CONGRATULATION to the whole team on a great win....

07.03.05 :: The great news is Arthur qualified # 1, with a 5.429 @ 258.24 mph in Lebanon Valley, NY, Div 1 race this weekend. Looks like the car is back...Arthur made it to the final round, but was the runner up...

06.30.05 :: The team has headed off to Lebanon Valley this weekend for a Division 1 race. This is going to be another experimental weekend. Arthur has some new stuff he's going to be trying. They will be testing on Thursday, the day before qualifying starts. Hopefully the new stuff works and the weather cooperates for them. Div 1 has a high car count at the events, but only has two qualifying passes, where other divisions with lower car counts have three changes at qualifying....go figure

06.16.05 :: The team has headed off to Englishtown NJ for a National event. This weekend could turn into another test session, as Arthur is making more changes to the car. He wasn't satisfied with the performance of the car last weekend in Chicago, so more changes are in order to overcome the mandated 98% nitro rule put into effect this year by NHRA.Well it didn't turn out to be the weekend the team wanted. It's hard trying new things on the car and qualifying at the same time. Move on to the next race.

 06.11.05 :: Good news/bad news....The good news is the car ran much better then it has been, in the last few races, even in the hot humid weather in Chicago. The bad news Arthur lost first round with a 5.63 @ 250.13 mph. This weekend was to re-group and get the car back on track, which seems to have happened. Then team will move on to Englishtown for the next race. Glad the car is running better.....

 06.06.05 :: After re-evaluating the situation the team has decided to continue on with the racing season. They will be going to Chicago and onto Englishtown. It's been a tough season so far, the first few races chasing down an aerodynamic problem with the new body, the 98% Nitro rule, and then in Maple Grove having a "no power" problem. The guys have gone through the car and changed everything. Arthur former high school cheerleader, oh no that's someone else, thinks he has fixed the problems and hopefully the car will run good in Chicago and Englishtown

 05.29.05 ::   THE CAR IS PARKED....After a terrible weekend at Maple Grove PA, Arthur has decided to park the car. Several factors entered into this decision, most of all being the 98% fuel rule that NHRA mandated this year, the weather will only be getting hotter and the car just can't run under those conditions...

 05.15.05 ::   It's been a tough season so far...with lots of rain and now hot humid weather. The team went to Atlanta this weekend, but the hot weather sure does effect the A fuel cars trying to run on 98% Nitro. Arthur was the lowest qualifying Afuel car with only a 5.70 in ninth place. NHRA really needs to re-evaluate their decision to drop the Nitro percentage...

02.26.05 ::  The team headed off to the first race of the season to Gainesville Florida for a Division two event. Very exciting results from the first pass of the year. Arthur's A-fuel car is the first to run in the 20's under the new 98% Nitro rule. He ran a 5.28 @ 265.72 MPH.

The weekend ended as a wash out, with all the rain in Florida. The race will resume March 26, 2005
