Joe could not finish better than 20th racing, but, he qualified 18th in the super and Joe 10th fast in the modified
both cars made the feature , Robert Ewing driving Dennis`s car this weekend pulled off after 50 laps and Joe at 65 laps, Robert felt that the " SRL" touring cars were too fast for the all supers and could not finish better than 8th thru 12th in the field, so, at one point both drivers felt like they were getting in the way of the touring cars and Robert did not want to damage dennis`s car or get wrecked so he pulled off, Joe on the other hand wanted to finish all 150 laps he was still very fast at the 60 lap in the super late car, but, the engine oil light came on at lap 65 and he elected to pull off rather than potentially damage an engine. Still, overall it was a great night,, with minor hood and ft cover damage to Joes car and Not a scratch on dennis`s car,
7 of the top 10 were tour cars , and 14 of the top 26 listed below were tour cars, they will not be invited back for 2012 SUPER LATE MODEL race track says

InfernoMotorsports welcomes a new baby
InfernoMotorsports welcomes a new bouncing
baby Modified to the family of Super late models.
Chuck and Joe spent weeks waiting for the final
moment when the new baby modified fired up
screaming for the first time from it`s loud pipes "and it
did not even need a spanking."
Joe and I worked on my new purchase for weeks
and finally tested last friday night.
We will be running in the touring division called
lucas oil modified series http://www.lucasoilmodifieds.com/
All went well, the new car did not crap it`s oil pan
or pee on the track so were happy.
Joe ran the car at a comfortable pace on the 1st
practice session and got after it a little on the 2nd session.
With the car working and testing at 95% the 2 sessions
were enought to satisfy both Joe and I for the night.
On another note ; The super late models are parked
until further notice, as I said on the previous blog
we can not run at Irwindale Speedway with these
cars and be able to run up front with the the 4bbl
carburetor while we are stuck running a 2bbl carb.
So, we showed up at Irwindale Speedway with
a 4bbl carb on our non spec engine and we were
told that it was not allowed to run .. take it home!
Until the track changes it`s rules to allow all the 2 bbl
cars out there to run the 4bbl carbs we will just have
to play with the new modified.
Dennis will be moving to Arizona next year and
is looking to go dirt Modified racing at the local dirt
track, so, we may be running both pavement mods
and dirt mods next year.
Stay tuned .....

LUCAS OIL SLICK MIST SLM 75: The 17-car field
had a ten-car inverted start with fastest qualifier
Rod Johnson, Jr starting outside row five and Joe Deguevara
on the pole after qualifing 10th.
Joe and Dennis qualified back to back 10 th and 11 th
thats all these 2 barrel carb cars have, we are up against 4 barrel cars.
Both drivers did a great job driving and both cars had different
problems by the end of the 75 lap race, Joe had a very tight car
and it would not turn in the center of the corner and Dennis had the
opposite problem and his car was loose in the center and turned
too fast, with 2 races done so far were beginning to figure out
what these cars like and dont like, we will get better with more
races run.
The InfernoMotorsports cars are the fastest of all the 2 barrel cars
running at the speedway with the top 9 cars all on 4 barrel carbs.
We have asked the track to give all the 2 barrel cars an additional
weight break since we can not compete with the bigger carburetors.
we will see what happens with that request.
Thompson gradually increased his lead to 20-yards (1.231 seconds)
at the finish. Partridge held on to his "handful" Eshleman
Racing No. 33 for second place. Jason Patison finished third, 1.403
back. Race Liberante, was fourth, 1.617 seconds behind the winner.
Furden placed fifth, 7,825 back. Joe DeGuevara 8.125, back.
Over all both cars came home with no damage, both cars just need
service and we will be back racing june 4th

was well balanced.
Both Dennis and Joe qualified in the top 10 and started the
main event side by side.
Joe had his car taped off for qualifing and caused the car
to bottom out costing him at least 2 tenths , that 2 tenths
would have made him 2nd fast time.
Dennis qualified with the fastest laps he has ever run
in 11 years. Dennis was very happy!!
The race was 75 laps on the very fast 1/2 mile oval,
Both Dennis and Joe charged on the green flag, Dennis fell in
behind Joe and they ran nose to tail for 25 laps passing
cars from their 9th &10th starting spots.
Joe recieved minor damage when 2 cars ahead of him got
together and collected Joe, that caused a steering issue
knocking the toe out and punching a hole
in the fender, both of these conditions caused the car to
not handle or turn as well as it was early in the event.
Dennis had his car get loose and he hit the wall with the back
of the car damaging the body and both rt side wheels.
Dennis pitted and Tim and David checked him over and sent
Dennis back out.
Joe continued to charge thru the field and by the time the
checkered flag flew Joe was up to 4th and Dennis finished
10th.
The next race for us at Irwindale will be May 7th ,

Racing news
InfernoMotorsports was looking forward to racing as
many races at our Las Vegas short track as funding
permitted in 2011.
We brought out a new car for 2011 after 2 years of
rebuilding inventory and another chassis from the fire
and crash in 2009.
During the first race 30 laps in while Joe was passing
another car the other driver decided to make a left
turn into the rt rear wheel ( still dont know why)
breaking the rt rear suspension arm and causing our
car to make a sudden left turn into the inside crash
wall.
Joe struck the inside wall at full speed and again damaging
the car beyond repairs.
Once again Infernomotorsports will be out for a while at
Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
On a better note, We still have another car scheduled for
racing april 9th at Irwindale Speedway and plan to run
the entire 10 race schedule thanks to Dennis Scharlbaum,
Horn Industries, MIM and Titan.

California Racing news
(see photo attached at the bottom of this news)
InfernoMotorsports traveled to Irwindale Speedway over the
Thanksgiving weekend with both cars in tow.
Joe, Tom ,Scott and I arrived Friday for practice that took place
from 6pm to 10pm.
Joe took to the track and the car was too tight to turn in the
corners ( the car would not turn as sharp as we wanted) so,
Joe came in for adjustments and we sent the car back out
with the car a little bettter, Joe came back in we
Parked the car we looked the car over real well and made more
changes, sent Joe back out and Joe said the car was a thousand
times better than before.
Joe still said the car is tight in the very center of the corner
but better everywhere else,
We tried and tried everthing we knew to correct this condition
to no avail.
Saturday a.m: After sleeping on the problem we tried
another change on the rear end housing angle, Joe said the
car was perfect for about 3 laps then it would go tight again,
at this point it was time to qualify the car so we had
what we had.
Joe qualified 17th out of 20 and all the cars
were impounded after qulalifing, so, we could not adjust or
work on the car anylonger.
The car had to be raced the way it was.
The race started and Joe passed cars up to 12th place, the
race had lots of cautions, Then Joe got caught up in someone
elses wreck around lap 37 of the 100 lap event.
Joe had to pit to remove the hood, the air cleaner, tape up the
car to keep the parts from flying off, Joe came back on the
track 7 laps down, We made 2 of the laps when more cautions
fell for more crashes.
With 30 laps to go I told Joe to hang in there the rest of the
remaining cars were getting really wild and sure enough they
started to crash each other, car after car had engines blow up,
ran out of fuel, or crashed , by the time we had10 laps left there
were only 8 cars left running out of the 20, With 5 to go
more cars had engine trouble or ran out of gas, with 2 to go
the leaders took each other out , that left 3 cars running at the end,
3rd place, 4th place and Joe in 5th place, needless to say
our race turned into a endurance race. We finished 5th.
5 laps down. Still had fun!!!
Joe and I have work to get done body parts to replace, overall I hope
Joe had as much fun as I had watching and playing with our car.
BIG THANKS, to Tom ,and Scott for their help all weekend.
Special Thanks to Dennis and Curta for the car.
stay tuned for January race news ......

Racing news!
been rebuilding cars , engines and overall recooping from our 2008 crash and fire.
Joe and I ran a couple of races with the latemodel then parked that car since it
was not competive in the superlate model division here in Las Vegas.
That car is for sale.
Then in mid 2009 we purchased a superlate model car from Dennis and worked
on buying parts, engines and pieces for the rest of the year 2009 and ran once.
Fast foreward to 2010
Joe and I went out with the new car and found disaster when Joe backed the car
into the fence mid summer, so, off to the chassis builder to have the back of the car
replaced.... another set back in funding and racing at mid year.
Joe and I got the car back and have spent the last couple of months replacing
everything on the back of the car that was damaged that the chassis builder
does not do, rear body section, both rear shocks, straighten the rear end housing,
replace the fuel cell, replace and repair the interior tin and so on.
Well, look at us today.. we have 2 complete superlate models both cars came from
Dennis at MIM construction .. Thank you Dennis!
InfernoMotorsports will be racing at Irwindale Speedway both the Thanksgiving weekend
and again at the Toyota shootout in January 2011. Come out and see us in California!

InfernoMotorsports finally hit the track last weekendfor the first time in 2010.
Joe & I worked on the car until we could not go
any longer and went home late into the night.
Joe worked on the car until 1:30 am one day and
midnight the next night. Joe worked hard for days to
get to race a double header fathers day race weekend.
Finally after fabrication work, building new oil and cooling
lines, linkages and wiring.
We wanted to practice Friday night but we could not get
the car done, we started again on Saturday morning ,
by 3 pm Saturday we still had not had the car 100%
completed, Joe jumped into the car and drove it
to the speedway right down Las Vegas blvd to the track
to make it to have the car presented at tech.
We took the car out on the track and Joe said the car was
too loose to get up to speed, this was our only practice session
prior to the first feature event of the night.
Joe started last in a field of 16 cars and stayed back about
15 lenghts behind the entire field so we could use this for a
practice session, the car was better but not good enough.
Joe stayed up with the field of cars until lap 5 when we
Joe stayed up with the field of cars until lap 5 when we
developed a miss in the engine, Joe pulled into the infield
and then pulled off the track for Tim, Cody and I to diagnose
the problem.
We felt this may have been a battery issue so we replaced the
battery and sent Joe out for the 2nd feature of the night,
5 laps later the same thing happened and we parked the car
for the night.
We will find the problem since we have 2 weeks to correct
it and try again.
stay tuned ...
