Our 2004 car became to be known as "Gert". Gert gave us lots of fun during our first year of Street Stock racing, including a Feature win.

In November 2004 we purchased a new car from Dave Lawrence - "Scarlett" - for the 2005 season. Scarlett was a quick car but we had a lot of bad luck with her and Gert filled in well for four nights during the year.

Gert also spent a few laps as #6. Kevin Trevellin borrowed Gert for the Kendal Street Stock Showdown, a bad clutch prevented her from showing her stuff during the race.

In 2006 Gert sports #8 and will serve as our back-up car AND give Uncle Don a chance to try some racing.
