July 12th, 2010
A tuff weekend, but being 6th qualifier with a 9.04 we fought it out.
We had no bye runs or legal singles, we had to race every race.
We went from rain to dust and then back to rain (that makes MUD)
We got done and loaded in a pouring rain, then leaving the track, we went through a drug and alcohol
check point at KY lake dam
Thank goodness that no one on our team drinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT WE WON THE SHOW

Little Johns Motorsports drag boat racing update:
Hi All,
It's John from Little Johns Motorsports
It has been a while since we have checked in, but so many changes, and so much to arrange, the whole season is finally coming into place.
I would like to talk about Ashly Ruf.
Besides being High Points Champion in KDBA for 2008, High Points Champion in SLDBA for 2009, #2 in the nation for four years running and with all the work and traveling she has maintained a 4.0 grade average throughout her entire school history.
Now in College she is still maintaining a 4.0.
I know it was a hard decision for her but maintaining that grade point has to be her first priority.
Her schedule in school has to come before the boat at this time.
We are all very proud of her and will help in any way we can.
If she shows up at a race you can bet that she has her gear with her and will be in a boat.
At this time I would like to announce some of our changes.
Our driver for the 2010 season will be my son Randy Bicknese.
Everyone on the river knows Randy and the rest of you across the nation will recognize him from his presence in the pit at many of the races.
Our new race trailer is coming together very nicely.
With two levels in the trailer and a hoist everything we have can be hauled in one unit.
(Hopefully I do not mess up and tip it over)
Lettering for the trailer is being put together now and should make our sponsors proud.
We have new Tee shirts for the 2010 season and they are on their way.
I will wait until next update to announce our sponsors for 2010.
I want to recognize each one of them appropriately and not forget any of them.
With the tight economy and trying times these people are what make this operation work.
I do have to say that we might be internationally known.
One of our sponsors is from San Pedro Belize. They will be at the Creve Coeur race June 19th & 20th.
Check out our website, www.littlejohnsinc.com, for updates.
Thank You
Little John

WELL RACING IS RACING
I know I have not checked in for a while, but I was sick for a while, and a TUFF winter.
This winter has been extra long because our equipment is ready to go, and not much to repair.
Our team has spent several evenings helping our Crew Chief Jordan getting ready for his
Cub Scouts Pine Wood Derby.
Please do not take this lightly, The top four cars were within three hundredths of a second.
If there is a place to race WE GO, even if it is for #1 pump at a gas station.
Jordans Pack 964 of Scout Troop Cobra Stripe, and their parents, had a GREAT DAY.
Jordan won 2nd. place in his class, and 4th. place in the whole program.
The crowd just keeps growing every year, and that is a wonderful thing.
Today, Jordan did his part to make Little Johns Motorsports stand proud.
