Sunrise, FL Update
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010A busy weekend it was, with 3 shows in 2 days. Lionel started out, Friday, placing 5th in wheelies and 3rd in donuts. Not what he had hoped for, but all that changed come racing. Lionel ended up going to the finals against Blue Thunder, in what was the closest race of the evening. Weenk defeated him by inches. Saturday afternoon started out a little better earning 3rd place in both wheelies and donuts. His luck in racing didn’t carry on as he was taken out during the first round. The Saturday evening show appeared to be a much better night for him. Pulling off the best wheelie of the weekend, with lots of air gave him his first win. Having a hard time getting started in donuts hurt his score, ended with him in 4th place. He didn’t quit there. He went onto racing. He was taken out by El Toro Loco, but came back in his place due to him breaking. Defeating Gunslinger in the semi-finals took Lionel into the finals, where he was again defeated by Weenk in Blue Thunder.
Winning Wheelie
Update from Fort Myers, FL at Germain Arena
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010What a weekend for Lionel. He had a hard time getting to the show due to mechanical issues with his hauler. Thanks to Joey & Malissa Stathas of Monsters on a Mission, lending him a tractor, he was able to make it just in time for the pit party. He was determined not to let the fans or the promoter down. With 3 shows and 3 pit parties in 2 days, he was staying busy.
Friday started out with a close call in the wheelie competition, according to the audiences cheers. Lionel went through the racing bracket for his first win of the weekend. Feeling good and hoping for a win in freestyle was his next defeat. But he cut himself a little short when he rolled the truck over after hitting the van stack. The audience still loved it, but not enough to take first place.
He was very consistent for the remaining 2 shows on Saturday. Wheelie competition was based on crowds enthusiasm. They were excited, but not enough to put him on top. Again, he sped his way through the bracket, bringing home 2 more wins in racing. Freestyle ended with the crowds applause cutting him a tad short of first place. The fan that received the K & N flag at the end of the evening was definitely cheering him on.
Erie, PA Update
Monday, August 16th, 2010Lionel went on to the semi finals in racing during both shows at the Lake Erie Speedway. The number 3 must have been his number for the weekend. He finished out both donuts and wheelies in 3rd place at both shows and captured 3rd in freestyle on Friday.
Bangor, ME and Halifax, NS Updates
Monday, August 16th, 2010BANGOR, ME – SPEEDWAY 95
On Thursday night, Lionel took first place in wheelies with his tailgate dragging.
He came back fast loser and went all the way to the racing finals on Friday, but lost by a bumper to Randy Brown in the Grave Digger truck. He also took 2nd place place in wheelies. His slap wheelie that ran the distance of the front stretch during freestyle earned him another 2nd place for the night.
During the wheelie competition on Saturday afternoon, Lionel received a standing ovation after he stood his truck on the tailgate and walked it across the cars, earning him 1st place in wheelies. He was also able to win racing and finish out freestyle in 2nd place.
Saturday evening had brought some ran, which made for a muddy track and tough course to maneuver the trucks on. He was still able to pull off 3rd palce in wheelies and 2nd in freestyle.

Lousiana Updates
Sunday, March 28th, 2010Baton Rouge, LA (March 12-13)
The event at took place at the Baton Rouge River Center, with 3 shows taking place over two days. Friday night ended well for Lionel, with a 2nd place finish in wheelies and donuts. He made it the semi-finals in racing. The weekend was starting out great. With two more shows to go , he was hoping to have a win under his belt. And that he did on Saturday afternoon, when he won racing. He aslo took 2nd place in wheelies, staying consistent with the nigth before. Struggling a bit with his donut, didn’t fair well, but he stepped it up during freestyle and tied for 2nd. On Saturday night, he earned another win, this time in the wheelie competition. He was able to pull off a better donut than earlier in the day, finishing with a tie for 2nd palce. The semi finals is as far as he made it in racing, and he finished out the evening with a 4th in freestyle. Not it was time to pack up and head for Lafayette.
The next week was going to go well, as Lionel was happy with his performance in Baton Rouge. So he thought. As they were arriving in New Orleans to hang out for the week, the hauler began to have problems. Luckily, another team lent us a hand. With that being said, we would like to send out a special thanks to all guys at Sudden Impact Racing for helping us out and getting us to Lafayette.
Lafayette, LA (March 19-20)
With only 2 shows being held at the Cajun Dome, Lionel was hoping his bad luck with the hauler wouldn’t ruin his weekend. Fortunately, he was able to have another great weekend.

Friday evening ended with him placing 5th in freestyle, but he was able to step it up Saturday night with a 3rd place finish.
