Red Lightning is officially "race prepped" for Big Sky 200 Broadview MT!!! Even though we have had good results in stock, I've struggled with this track. Hopefully this year is different 🤨 our race plan is to run Comp (for more laps) I will drive the first two laps with Zach as co then Edger Matuska will drive the last two with either me or Zach as co. We will also have our in car Livestream up and Ultra4 Livestream will have access to it.

New race shoes! I mean, who wouldn't want their teams race colors customized on a pair of Nike's?!?!
Was hoping they would have arrived before the first race of the season but I'm ready to show off these new kicks now!
Because these are customized , they naturally are
just wrapped its very first race at High Desert 100 — and we’re coming home with a 3rd‑place podium finish out of six Bugs!
We weren’t the fastest out there, but we finished! The rain helped knock the dust down, the track was rough, but Tom built one incredibly solid, reliable Bug that took every lap like a champ.
Huge thank‑you to the racers who welcomed me in, shared pointers, and made this first‑timer feel like part of the lineup.
As a brand‑new driver and co‑driver team, I can say without hesitation: I had the best co‑driver out there. She kept eyes on the rear‑view, called out where to go (and where not to go), made recommendations, pulled the lap tape like a pro… and even sang to me a few times! That’s real teamwork...and friendship.
A special thank you to our sponsors Thirsty’s Burgers & Beer and Dirty Birds Driveshafts for supporting our desire to race and most importantly, TO HAVE FUN!
We’re already looking forward to Sturgis in July!
Karen and Lisa on the box starting at 3 minutes.
The girls did an amazing job finishing the race in third place out of six
