Hawktique Racing

Some of you may have been wondering where I've been. Well, I sold the Hawktique 6mos after our dam failed, in fear that it would be many years before it would be rebuilt. As it is now, Lake Delhi dam is about to start reconstruction, not sure how long it will take.

After a few other developments, we decided to get my oldest into motorsports. Here are some pics of last year, and our new car for this year. Half Scale Jr dragster, 7.9 sec 1/8 mile car on alcohol!

If you wish to follow our new endeavor, we have a Facebook page set up. Aiva Moore Racing

Still at it. Sitting at 16-3 on the season. We have state coming up March 10th in Des Moines.

i'd be really tempted to take that for a rip around the block at around 3am after a fifth of jim beam

Your girlish figure would probably fit in that thing!

Thats freeking awsome..

Very cool...only problem I see is it will be very hard to say, "No young lady, you can't borrow the car, you're not old enough to drive!"

Thats pretty cool.
I've seen these around Viperizer Racing is right up the road from me in Fombell Pa.

haha, its a gamble...her friends can't sit in the back seat of the dragster and yell things like, I thought you drive fast!

I just try to be a good dad. Giving them something exciting to do that not many have the opportunity to do. This is the ultimate blackmail for getting good grades and cleaning their rooms!

So Awesome Josh,    Early fun motorsports will make the daughters much better drivers.
But do keep an eye out, cause one of them may develop a lead-foot later on.

But dragsters instead of karts, it might already be too late.

Absolutely!

Looks like fun.   My son started racing shifter karts at about 12yrs old.   Unfortunately that experience didn't help him when he started driving.   He tried to pull 3g's through a turn in the truck we bought him and it didn't end well.   No injuries but the truck was a write-off.

They are definitely no strangers to wrenching on race cars.

Clutches are CVT like on snowmobiles. As precise as this game is, traction/clutch tune/carb adjustments/ car weight etc, we can usually hold the cars within 1-2 hundredths on any given run. Reaction times need to be dialed into about 1-3 hundredths to have a chance. Every hundredth is worth a foot at the finish line.
