Melba Outlaws: Let's Go Racin' Boys and Girls!

It was a cold head wind that greeted the Melba Outlaws at the Silver Club Challenge Season Opener. The excitement of the new season was dampened with some mishaps and the realization that Outlaws were dropping off at an alarming rate. Not to worry, Outlaws are nothing if not tenacious. It's going to be a long hard fought victory, but victory will come...

A great big group hug and support go out to Melanie Hodge after what could have been a real disaster as she crossed into the opposite lane clipping Matt Compton and hitting the wall. We are so glad you both are ok.

We would like to welcome some new Outlaws. I have not met all of them, but I hope to before too long:

Dan Cram, not an unknown to those of us who grew up with the Cram Family. He must have Outlaw blood running through his veins to win his bracket his first time with us! Congratulations Dan and welcome!

Judy Romano, wife of Outlaw Joe Romano (1973 Dodge Challenger). Judy drove a 1968 Dodge Charger. Congratulations Judy on winning round 1 of your maiden voyage! Your excitement was contagious! We hope to see you in the Winner's Circle soon!

We would also like to welcome back some Outlaws:

David Maiden, after the flywheel flew apart and all but dismantled his 1968 Mercury Cougar during the 2007 racing season. So glad to see a full compliment of Maiden Boys again. They bring the word "competition" to a new level!

Rob Keys, has been recouping from a serious 4-wheeler accident. We were very relieved to see him doing so well and back behind the wheel of his 1986 Ford Mustang. Rob has installed a new 377 ci small block Ford which has moved him into bracket 2.
