Dear AMSOIL,
First of all, we
would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your support
over these past few years. You supply us with a product that has not
only helped our performance, but the longevity of our engine and driveline
pats. The clothing helps us to present a professional appearance.
We had a great year
in 2002. Out of approximately 60 competitors, both Janet and I finished
in the top ten in the points series, in the same class. We were in first
for six or seven weeks and finished 6th and 9th respectively. Our Junior
Dragster racers Kendall and Shelby had fun. Kendall finished 11th in
her class. These high finishes gained us three spots on the IHRA Division
3 Bracket Finals Team for the Grand Bend Motorplex. This is contested
in Norwalk, Ohio. We made a good showing with Janet and I going to the
3rd round of eliminations.
Alysse did great
in Teen Championship Racing with our beat up Ford Excort, bringing home
winner and runner-up plaques.
2004 has brought
some pretty big chances to Janken Racing. We've stepped up to a diesel-pusher
motorhome and a 30-foot stacker trailer with a car life in it so all
of the race cars and support equipment can fit in one place. We've also
decided to run 4 or 5 IHRA national events in Canada and the USA with
2 cars. We stepped up the engine in the dragster to run in the 7-second
range. Early testing showed 7.82 seconds @ 171.22 mph.
We also stepped
up our Jr. program as well, with the purchase of a faster (10 second
@65 mph) dragster for 15-year-old Kendall and handed the old car (11
sec @ 55mph) over to 12 year old Shelby, both are very excited. Both
have procured major sponsors for 2004.
We are still doing
quite well selling AMSOIL through Kennys Performance and Performance
Parts Plus. Again thank for all your support, it really helps a lot
in a very expensive family sport.
Sincerely,
Ken and Janet Herbert
and Family
Janken Family Racing Team
