A five hour drive, Snow, sleet, ice, no water- no elecricity, no sleep...BUT really great friends, a LOT of laughs and some fantastic ground shaking, bone jarring, mud slinging, white knuckled sideways thru the turn Modified quarter midget racing. Another Modified win, 2nd place Honda Heavy finish, another trophy and yet another win for the AG Pizza, Cambridge Sheet Metal, Winner's Circle BBQ, VFX Grahics, A's Country Spirits, Body by Kate sposnored, Power Plus powered #21 Stanley. We love our sponsors...:) AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO GLEN MACOMBER FOR YOUR HELP TUNING THE CARB. WITHOUT YOUR HELP, THIS WEEKEND WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOSS. Merry Christmas to all; Happy New Year. God willing - we'll be back again in 2008! Hope to see you then. Best Regards- Kyle & Front Row http://rutledgemotorsports.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/e1a1dc7285c11f91eceee9ed7cab3e52_4717f663.writeback Thu, 18 Oct 2007 19:12:19 -0500 Well, the season has finally come to an end. I've accumulated over 26 wins, a ton of 2nd place finsihes, a few 3rds and 3 DNFs (2 accidents and 1 black flag). We really has a great year and we enjoyed some awesome racing. When your racing against guys like Luke, Glenn and Richard, it's competitive as it can get but we're still friends after we pack up the trailers. We have one last event at the arena in Harrisburg, PA on December 9th. It's the 2007 Championship race and I'll have both cars there to see if I can repeat my victory like last year. Racing starts at 7:00 A.M. and ends about 10:00 P.M. and it sure is a long day and very stressfull. My dad says he's never going back but we do, year after year. Once again, we would like to thank you all for the support and for coming out to see us. It's been a blast. Thanks again- hope to see you next year- Kyle http://rutledgemotorsports.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/f736f27359e0ad1c7bd073d69bf5a90d_4675b6e4.writeback Sun, 17 Jun 2007 17:34:12 -0500 Hi everyone, We had a big rain delay at teh track on June 16th but were finally able to get out on the track about 8:30. We only ran features due to the late start. Becuase I won last week's feature, I started the feature in last place. It took me a couple of laps, but I was able to work my way to the front and took the win in teh modified feature. I started the 160 reace on the pole but had to get out of teh gas in turn one to avoid hitting the #88 but managed to hold onto 2nd place. I made a final charge out of turn 3 on the last lap and almost passed the #88 but he beat me by a bumper and we took second. Maybe better next week Kyle. http://rutledgemotorsports.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/200ddba202caead2ef9e39a96f964a9e_466de47f.writeback Mon, 11 Jun 2007 19:10:39 -0500 Hi everyone. On May 12th we won both heat and feature in Modified class. On May 19th, we were crashed in modified heat and we hit the wall in feature; DNF June 8 and 9th, won both heat and feature both days in the modified class, took 2nd in 160 class in both heat & feature. http://rutledgemotorsports.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/98b1d8c8f8a2d559ce392baa31184b96_457ef9fb.writeback Tue, 12 Dec 2006 12:50:35 -0600 Hi everyone, We just got back from Harrisburg and boy are we tired. We started racing at 8:00 in the morning and finished at 10:30. I was in race #18. I started third and took over first within 2 laps and despite all the cautions, accidents and dirty driving I finshed first. Another win!! I started the feature on the pole and was out about 3 car lengths ahead of the field when I spun comming out of turn 3. The track was very loose and I just took it in too hard. I restarted in the back of the field. After several laps I had moved back up to second spot but was intentionally hit by another car and he crashed me. Once again I had to start at the back of the pack. I made it back up to fourth spot again when the 20 minute time limit on the race expired. I could have made it back up to the lead if I had a few more laps. The probelm was that everybody kept spinning and causing restarts. But we still got a win, made some new friends, had a great time, got more TV time for our spoonsors, got a lot of compliments on the car and had a really great time hanging out. The TT crew is A#1!! Hey number 59- back at ya next year! http://rutledgemotorsports.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/d25b8027bdc09c02deb5885411584518_44ef4786.writeback Fri, 25 Aug 2006 13:55:02 -0500 Aug 6th. We were up at the Schnecksville Fairgrounds this weekend. This was a new experience for us because he's never raced on a short track like this. It was sort of a bull rink. We took a shot at some gears that would get the job done and I guess we picked right. Kyle swept both the heat and feature races that day. There were also custom cars, modified tractors, monster trucks, sprint cars and modifieds. What a sight! We are definitely going back again. http://rutledgemotorsports.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/2c43be88a6608cab38e135fd4704307f_44563740.writeback Mon, 01 May 2006 11:28:48 -0500 Hi everyone, We're counting down the days; May 20th is Opening Day and we can not wait. We bought a new Stanley from another one of our great friends, Mr. Ray Kozimor, and he is busy setting it up. If your looking to get your car moving FAST, this is the man! We hope to get the car by early May and get it over to our new friends at VFX Graphics in Blairstown for the graphics and paint. Check out the VFX website from my LINKS page. Mr. Mike does an AWESOME job and ypu really need to check out his work!!!! You can bet, this car will be hot!

We had a great time. We met a lot of fans and had the opportunity to meet new friends and spend time with old, good friends alike. Kyle spent a lot of time preparing for this event; polishing the car, buffing the tires, re-waxing the car, etc , etc. He stuffed his old driver suit with pillows, put a stick down the back to hold the helmet in place, proped a checkered flag into his make shift driver's hand and put the car on display. He also added a few trophies he has received. It looked very good. Check out some of the pictures. It was a great time with great friends. If you weren't a part of it, we'll hope you can make it next year. Best regards- RMS. http://rutledgemotorsports.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/0d4cb6b736b076132913d4f5baec0843_439daeb8.writeback Mon, 12 Dec 2005 11:09:12 -0600 WELLLLLL, what can we say about the Harrisburg race??? It was fun. It was really fast. It was very tiring! We started in the fourth position in the 17th race! We got on the track about 12:00 but we didn't get any warm-up laps. You just get out there and race. We lost the chain in the heat race after being hit from both front and back in the first lap of the heat race and spent the race watching from the infield. We tightened the chain for the feature and started sixth having been a scratch in the heat race. Kyle moved up to fourth position but a car spun in front of him and he hit the wall trying to squeeze around him. That put us to the back of the pack again and with only laps to go, Kyle was only able to move up to fifth position. A bright spot however was that his best friend Glenn, who drive the #2 car took the win in both the heat and feature! His other friends Corey and his brother Tyler also took their feature races. Nice job drivers! Well, there is always next year and we'll have a little more experience under our belt. Like I always say...if you come home unhurt, with your car in one piece, it was a good night! "Till next year-keep speed off the street and on the track. http://rutledgemotorsports.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/a1a6be3f2dc848c4e94d4cbf88192ee0_43613a3b.writeback Thu, 27 Oct 2005 15:36:11 -0500 Well, the 2005 season is over with the exception of the Harrisburg, PA race in December. All in all we did well in 2005; 3 wins, 10 second place, 6 third place and 26 top five finishes and 1 black flag for settling a score.
