A tentative schedule has been released from the IRA and Wilmot Raceway. KDS Racing has posted our schedule based on what we know right now. There are a few dates that may change so please watch for any changes that may effect your plans. KDS Racing hopes to see you at as many venues this season as weather permits.
Dec 27, 2011
KDS Racing hopes everyone had a great Christmas and will have a very happy New Year. Be safe and have fun.
The team has taken some time off for the holidays but plans to get back at it right after the first of the year. We have seen some of the preliminary dates for races next year and it looks like Steve and the rest of the IRA board is hard at it to bring another great year of racing to the fans of the mid-west region.
Our plans are to run all the IRA shows and a select number of non-sanctioned shows. We will post our schedule as soon as we can, probably about mid March.
If anyone knows of persons or businesses that would like to partner up with KDS Racing, have them send me an e-mail (dspitz@logantele.com) so we can set up a date to talk about terms. We have plenty of available space still for 2012.
The "Friends of Racing" campaign is still active. If you have a family member or friend that would enjoy seeing their name on a race car, send us $2 and we will get their name on the car and an e-mailed picture sent to you (about April/May) . You can contact me at dspitz@logantele.com.

KDS Racing is looking for some tires for the team. Goodyear's for the rears and fronts are what's needed. Give us a call if you have something. Dennis is getting ready for the coming season. He will be driving the 41 car and hopes all his friends come out and enjoy some good racing. He intended to run last year but an injury forced him to sit out the entire year. He is working on body condition and is anxious for the season to start. The "Friends of Racing" campaign is still active. If you have a family member or friend that would enjoy seeing their name on a race car, send us $2 and we will get their name on the car and an e-mailed picture sent to you (about April/May) .

Dodge county was another tough night for KDS Racing. All the rain the prior week let the track very heavy and narrow for the beginning of the evening. The track was super fast all night long. Kris missed the transfer to the main in his heat but was able to make it thru the B-main. He finished 19th in the A-main after starting from the rear. Our set-ups for this track are still not good but we continue to try.
Kris finished 14th in points over all and has a 100% participation level. This is a credit to his crew who work hard to give him what he needs race the best he can.
After season festivities will begin in Nov with the awards banquet. Hope to see some of you there.

Another rain out that just puts the damper on the season. We go to Dodge County this week-end for the final night of the IRA season. The forecast is looking good but the temperatures may run a little cooler than we like, so wear your heavy stuff and join us for the end of the season.

Well this past weekend was a bust. Friday at Dodge county was eventually rained out after towing there and all the work to try to get the track ready for races. Many people were disappointed. Then it was onward to Plymouth for the fair date. Well rain was misting all afternoon and into the evening. We finally got the show in but it was always a threat of rain. Kris did not have a good night as he finished the night in the B main. Sunday was supposes to be the night when the weather was forecast to be great. Well it rained out just after the cars packed in the track after a late shower. This week-end we are off to Superior on Friday night and Cedar Lake on Saturday. Maybe the weather will cooperate.

Sorry for the absence, a medical problem has kept me occupied until now. Still only running about 60% but that is a vast improvement. Kris ran a very impressive 2nd place at Wilmot Saturday night. It was one of his best runs this year at this Raceway. The new car has been a learning experience. He struggled at first but has improved dramatically here recently. He made the investment in a set of super shox shocks and he is very excided about how they feel. This weekend is three days at three different tracks so we will be busy. Stop by the trailer after the races and say hi if you have the chance. \

Mother nature caused another cancelation for KDS Racing. The scheduled event for May 20 at Mississippi Thunder was canceled due to a strong weather system coming in. The Cedar Lake event for Saturday is still a go.
May 16, 2011
Mother nature caused another cancelation for KDS Racing. The scheduled event for May 14 at the Wilmot Raceway was washed out when rain came early Saturday and the cold winds came racing down from the north. Man it was cold. The team will be heading out for a two day weekend early Friday. First up is Mississippi Thunder for their inaugural 410 sprint event and then it's on to Cedar Lake Speedway Saturday for a $3000 to win event. We hope the weather holds and we can really get to racing.
May 7, 2011 Kris and the team ventured to the famed Knoxville Raceway in beautiful downtown Knoxville Iowa. The IRA has visited this venue for many consecutive years and this trip continues the tradition. Kris has struggled with this facility but has made steady progress and this trip was no exception. We set the car up with last years set-ups and made improvements every time he came in. Next year we feel really good about as he became very comfortable in the car with our last adjustments. The team moves on to Wilmot this next week for a WoS event. Kris and his dad should be ready to go. Kris’ new car should be completed by the end of the week and his dad should be able to move back into the #41.
May 3, 2011 We would like to send a special Thank You out to our new sponsors for 2011. Just this past week, all the way from Albuquerque, New Mexico, Sakura Sushi & Grill has become an associate sponsor. If visiting that part of the country, please stop by and enjoy a delicious meal. Also new this year from Indiana, is Fatheadz Eyewear and Framework Marketing Group Certified Wraps. Returning for another season out of Kenosha, Wisconsin, Chutes & Ladders Pub, Don’s Auto & Machine Shop, and Merlin 200,000 Mile Shops. And last but not least our major partner, Lucas Oil Products. Try Lucas Oil Products where ever you are, you will not be disappointed.
May 2, 2011 The start of the race season was rough for the two car Spitz Racing Team. After rushing Saturday to finish Dennis’ 41 car they arrived at Beaver Dam Raceway just before the drivers meeting. Kris qualified with a 13.199 and Dennis qualified with 14.404. Starting last in the first heat race, Dennis avoided a wreck and finished 6th to run in the B main. In a packed heat race, Kris started on the front row and finished 5th to make it into the A main. Starting 10th in the B main, Dennis was only able to advance one position to finish ninth. Kris started 13th in the A main and after several laps hit a rut coming out of turn 2 and flipped the car off the wall ending his night. Currently, Kris is 20th in the point standings with a 91 and Dennis is in 24th with 76 points. It will be a busy week preparing the 4K for Knoxville Raceway on May 7th, Dennis will be taking the weekend off. |
