NALMS win at East Moline

Last Saturday night, October 11 at East Moline Speedway Feger captured the feature flying on the highside. The Bob Pierce race car handled great, any where on the track.

Jason started the night off with the fastest time in his group. He put on a show trying to get past Ray Guss Jr. in the heat race. Come feature time, Jason started sixth, by lap five was running second behind Brandon Sheppard. A yellow came out on lap five, on the restart Jason had Brandon passed coming out of turn two. He had a substantial lead on the pack the entire race while going in and out of lapped traffic.

Nice thing was Karen from Bell was on hand to see the win, plus the guys met a lot of people from the Quad Cities. Thanks to Karen for getting info about the team on the Bell website!

The track was in good shape, multi-groove. This week-end, Pevely -- the UMP Round-Up on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Next week-end Battle of the Mods at Kentucky Lake. If you know anyone that owns a Mod and needs a driver, have them give Jason a call, he'd love to run both classes at Kentucky Lake.

REMINDER -- Race car party coming very soon!!! Grab a friend and come on over.

Bad luck at East Moline

Jason had fast time in his heat.
Finished second in his heat.
Feature event, running second till the leader Erb ran over a lapped car, causing the car to spin infront of Jason. Feger hit the lapped car, buckled the nose of the car and had to go to the rear.
Moved back to seventh.

:( The leader shouldn't have to take out a lap car.

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Darn it!! I hate the rain. I hate the cold rain even more.

What really stinks is the guys are out in the rain on the ground working on pulling the toter motor. Both Jason and Austin haven't been feeling to well, so chances are everyone will be sick by this week end.

And now for the GOOD NEWS -- thanks to Shep for finding a motor for the toter!!! YEAH!!

Plus I forgot to tell Joe thanks for towing the toter, Kris, the Advanced Shockman for towing the trailer and car to Eldora, and Tyree for loaning his truck to tow the trailer and car back to Bloomington.

THANK-YOU!! THANK-YOU!!
I can't say it enough, the support of friends, family and fans really keeps Team Feger at the track, plus in the case of last week-end enables them to make it home :) The shirts, hoodies, stickers, anything you purchase goes directly back into the race car some how. Thank you everyone that helps out!

Poor Old Toter and Eldora UMP Fall Nationals

Last Thursday afternoon the guys were waiting for Austin before heading to Eldora for the UMP Fall Nationals. They left early in the evening.

Around 2:00 in the morning, Jason called me -- the 'ole Toter couldn't take it anymore. She gave out at the Pizza place on Highway 127 before North Star. That SUCKS!

Jason called a few people, woke Steve Sheppard up and maybe Walden. Luckily for Team Feger, Kris (spelled with a K) Shockman the Big E. I don't know where the guys slept that night. I'm pretty sure the Posio stayed with the toter waiting for Joe to come in one of Shep's tow trucks.

So the toter was towed to Eldora by an even older tow truck. Jason called me the next day, letting me know to get in contact with Tyree Campbell of Campbell Construction. I needed to drive Tyree's truck to Eldora to haul the trailer and car back to Bloomington, while Joe towed the toter back.

So it went, got Tyree's truck, drove to Eldora watched the races, rode in Tyree's truck back with Jason driving and Joe towing the toter.

So how'd Eldora go? FAST TIME out of 69 or 70 cars. Group qualifing. The heats inverted four, so Jason started fourth. Did I mention that I really do prefer heads-up starts instead of group qualifing -- that's a whole other story. Anyway, in the first three heats there wasn't any passing if you started one, two or three that's pretty much where you ended up. There was some passing in the back, a few faster cars had slower times, so it wasn't too tough to pass some of the slower cars.

Jason finished third in his head, starting him 15th in the feature -- DARN IT!! Jeep and Matt Miller were in the same heat. Other heats had Korte and Faust, both tough competitors. Erb by far had the easiest time in his heat, seemed like he looked at the car leading and they drove into the wall.

In the feature Jeep shot out like a bat out of hell, he was flying to the front. Jason started out slower. By lap 20 Jason was running ninth, Erb was leading, Jeep and Miller were like 5th or 6th. Korte was right in the mix, but broke during a yellow, his car started smoking badly. After the yellow, Jason shot out towards the leaders, on lap 31 he took over 5th and was working on catching Faust for fourth. One of those nights where we wanted a 50 or 60 lap feature. Erb won, Miller, Jeep, Faust and Feger. Good showing for starting deep in the field.

Catching Up

WOW -- hadn't realized I haven't posted since I freed Sam from doggie jail.
Racing catch up time.

LaSalle --- was running second in the feature and had a darn flat :(.
They fixed the flat and for the life of me, I don't know where they finished.

Kamp --- hmmmm, if I remember right, Jason won his heat. In the feature started like third or fourth. Erb won the feature with Jason second.
