May 22nd

I won two races at the Greater Chicago spring rally, increasing my number of wins this season to four (seven career) and raising my points total to 181. I am now fifth in the standings. With one weekend left to go, I have four wins, five 2nd places, six 3rd places, four 4th places, and two non-places.

May 14th

I have 167 points following the Racine rally, and am sixth in the standings.

May 7th

After the Green Bay spring rally, I now have 164 points."

The fall rally season is over for me. It was my most successful half-season yet - first I raced to 2nd and 4th place finishes in Racine, garnering me 67 points, then earned an additional 89 points at the Chicago race, with two wins, another second, and another fourth. This leaves me in first place in the standings with 156 points, ahead of Kelly Heisler, (151 points) Kari Hardtke, (149 points) and Abby King (136 points).

I lost in the first round at Akron but had a very fun race week. Three drivers - Amber Allebach, Mark Ostrander, and Morgan Smith - which I raced against this year received trophies in Masters and Masters Rally. Chicago driver Jim Overmeyer (who I used to race) also received a trophy, and District 5 driver Andrew Feldpausch won the All-American Super Stock championship.

The following seven Soap Box Derby drivers which I have raced against have either already ran their last race, or will race for the final time at the World Championships on July 21. It was fun racing with you!

• Taylor Hamlin (later note: actually he is still racing ineligibly!)
• James Kimball
• Eric King
• Clarissa Liimatainen
• Rebecca Otten
• Laura Overmeyer
• Nick Reynolds

All of the District 5 champions should be on the champ page. However it is NOT OFFICIAL in any way whatsoever and there may be errors.

Actually, only six Masters cars from District 5 qualify for the World Rally Championships this year. However, Sam Fehrman declined his spot, so I will still qualify.

The Madison Local race was yesterday. Neither of the Bubba Racing drivers placed. The winners were Caitlin Sitter, Abby King, and Koby Garnhart, in Stock, Super Stock, and Masters, respectively.

Site-related news: I am working on redoing all of the pictures on this site, for better quality. If you run across any captions missing a picture, please tell me.

The Madison Local Race is tomorrow and Bubba Racing has two drivers for the Super Stock division. Good luck to both!

I qualified for the World Championships yesterday! Thank you to Mark Ostrander, Luke Niewoit, and Joe Reynolds, who won their local races and thus dropped out of the standings, giving Clark 7th place.

The Madison Soap Box Derby local race inspection takes place tomorrow morning.

The Madison local race will occur on June 23rd. It starts at 8:00 A.M. Three Bubba Racing Team members should be participating.

I took 7th place twice at Rockford and finish the season in 10th place with 147 points.

I will race in all four races at the Madison / Rockford Rally on Memorial Day weekend. This is the last rally of the 2007 season.

I raced at Chicago on Saturday and Sunday, receiving two 8ths, a 6th, and a 4th. I now have 143 points.

I will participate in four races at the Chicago Area Rally in Naperville, IL on May 19th and 20th.

I raced Masters in Racine on May 12th and 13th. I finished 8th on Saturday and 6th on Sunday against a field of 13 each day.''
