RACE # 4 BUCKEYE WINTERNATIONALS

Buckeye Winternationals Race #4
Ohio Expo Center - O'Neill Building 

Heavy Honda was again on point! Started in P6 in the heat, working his way to the front a car spun out and rolled back after hitting the wall. Jonathon thought he had clearance but when the driver took foot off the brake it rolled back. A last millisecond decision for a hard left turn narrowly missing the car. I really thought the race would be over for Jonathon and still don't know how he managed to miss the car.  Jonathon finished P2 parking him P2 in the A main.  The A main was a great race.  Jonathon started out strong. On a restart he was spun and was put next to last. One of the most frustrating rules of this sport, you're spun, the other driver gets a strike, but you have to go to the back as well. #dumb  I believe there was 8 laps to go,  Jonathon drove back up to P2. 

Heavy World Formula; Started P5 in the heat with a strong finish in P4. Placing him P7 in an 11 car field. Jonathon was hanging, and then with just a few laps left he hit the pole between 1 and 2 which seems to be his favorite spot! IYKYK. That puts him on the tail of a restart and he managed to come back up and finish P9.

Thanks to our supporters!!!

  Mid Ohio Race #2/8 Track: Miami Valley April 23, 2023 Another cold, cloudy and dreary day for Mid Ohio Race #2 Heavy Honda Jonathon started in P1 in the heat and led the entire heat with Trevor Jones being on his bumper! The feature put him on the pole and after a double file restart bringing out a caution, a single file restart started the race. Jonathon made a rookie mistake and went below the dot and got penalized. Putting him on the tail of the 3 car field, Once he got settled back in he took the lead and took the checkers!  Heavy World was another three car field. In the heat one of the cars didn't make it out leaving Jonathon and Phillip Clement Jr. Jonathon lead the lace until two laps to go and spun out on his own.

North Georgia Super Regional Recap

🏁 North Georgia Super Regional – Cumming, GA - April 2, 2022 🏁 Track : North Georgia Quarter Midget Racing Association 🏁 Miles : 1040 🏁 Hours : 19 hours We traveled south for the first of the national series Super Regional race in Cumming, GA, with over 225 cars in attendance. This year Jonathon is running Senior Animal, which had a total of 19 cars and Light 160 with a total of 24 cars. Jonathon has never raced here and we came not having much information on set up. We were able to do a controlled 2 minute practice on Friday night.  Senior Animal: Jonathon got a P1 in Heat 2 and ended in P3. That placed him P4 in the B main. During the B main he had fallen to the back of the pack at the start. P4 is probably the worst position to start in and he wheeled his way up to a P2 finish. This put him P8 in the A Main. The A mains were held off until Sunday morning.  He battled mid pack and he and another car got tangled up and Jonathon got into the w...

2023 Buckeye WinterNationals Race #3

Race #3 did not disappoint. After having over a month off from racing we headed back to the infamous Hog Barn at the Ohio Expo Center for race 3 of the 6 race series.  Heavy Honda was on point! Started in P5 in the heat and he worked his way to the front and we had a great race between Keegan Weese and Jaxon Burnett. Jonathon took the checkers; landing him his VERY FIRST POLE position in an A Main (at a large race). That may be not a big deal to some....but this was a big milestone for JCD.  The feature, RJ Deigthon took the lead within the second lap and checked out. Jonathon and Keegan battled for second and third spot for several laps. A caution came out putting Jonathon in second, but three lap cars separated him and the leader. He ended up in a very strong second. Jonathon was honored to drive the Blane Withers Racing Heavy 160 this weekend due to Blane celebrating his StepDad, Cody's 2022 racing season. Obviously, running a car that is not yours adds additional stress. H...
