Due to excessive rain and wet grounds the opening night
race at Knoxville Raceway has been cancelled.
Left for Eldora Thursday night after work. Hit a late
season blizzard in South Dakota.
Strong winds and glare ice finally forced us to pull
over between Watertown and Brookings, SD because we
couldn't keep moving straight, even at 10 mph. At
Daybreak we took off again and reached Sioux Falls after
14 hours.
We
did get to Eldora but it was 1:00 AM. Right after
Fridays race and Saturday rained out.
This Saturday, Knoxville opening night.

KENDRICK 92.9 TEAM
BACK & READY TO BURN UP THE RACE
TRACK
Media Release
KENDRICK Racing has touched back
down in Western Australia after a hectic racing schedule
on the east coast.
In total American import Mark
Dobmeier contested 18 races for the Osborne Park team in
the busy schedule that started with a round of the
Wanless World Series in Adelaide on Boxing Day and ended
with the Warrnambool Classic last Sunday night.
In that time they qualified for
every A Main which was a pretty impressive effort. “We
had three DNFs, one was from power steering, another
from a track rod and the other when we were flipped out
by someone else,” team Principal Geoff Kendrick said.
“On the positive side our worst finish apart from this
was 12th and the rest of the time we were in
the top half a dozen, including a podium results.
“Mark has not been to Australia before and he was very
good on tracks he knew nothing about.”
In fact Kendrick was so impressed
with the likeable American that he is considering
running him in a similar Australian schedule next year.
Dobmeier started the season at the Perth Motorplex and
contested the WA rounds of the AHG series before heading
east on Boxing Day.
He has now returned to America to
run his auto repair business but the two-car Kendrick
team will still be seen in action on WA’s tracks for the
rest of the season.
Another American in Chad Blonde
has been drafted to the stable and landed in Perth on
Thursday morning. He will have his first look at the WA
speedway scene with a practice session at the
Perth Motorplex next Wednesday night before contesting
the show at the Kwinana Beach venue on February 9. “Chad
is regarded as one of the up-and-coming stars on the
American scene and last year he won five All-stars shows
in a row and was impressive in a few Outlaws shows as
well.
“We still have plenty of racing to
do in WA and I think we should be good enough to win
some more feature races between now and the end of the
season.”
Kendrick’s son Jason, who is in
his rookie season, will be back behind the wheel of his
black #11 from next week after going on the road and
crewing for Dobmeier.
“I wanted him to crew on the east
coast trip so he could get more experience in working on
the cars and he is itching to drive again at practice
next week.”
You can see Kendrick Racing’s two
cars in action at the following shows: February 9 (Perth
Motorplex), February 16 Bunbury, February 22-23 (Perth
Motorplex), March 1-2 (Bunbury), March 7-8 (Perth
Motorplex), March 15 (Northam), March 22 (Kwinana),
April 12 (Kwinana) and April 19 (Bunbury).
