HIRATA MOTORSPORTS START LINE / FINISH LINE NOTES
HIRATA MOTORSPORTS POMONA START LINE

The Hirata Motorsports, Skull Shine, Torco Racing Fuels, NGK, WyoTech, Friction Unlimited team are making their annual trek to Pomona for the 2007 world finals. What started out to be in 1999 as a, “lets go to Pomona for one time in our lives” has turned into an annual vacation.

We want to end up on a good note for the start of our 2008 season. Plus, we are trying to keep our top 10 status alive. One other big reason to go is to start the gel process of the Torco two car team for next year. It will be a great team as I and Dyno Dave Heintzman have already made strides. Me and my dad, Ken, flew to Reynolds, GA for the final div 2 race. I thought as long as we made some good baseline runs and improved every pass, I would be happy. It turned out we qualified #4 out of 18 cars. Unfortunately we ended up with a first round loss, but I was pleased for our first 3 passes.

Thanks again to the best crew and friends in the world: Pete Brady, Chrystal & Zach Ingram, Carolyn & Dean Davies, Dale Bollerud, Byron Inouye, Jim Courson, Lori & Kevin Rowand, Jesse Marlow, Kim & Devin Halm, my Mom & Dad & my girl Molly.
