New T-Shirt Design

2010-06-14T10:14:00.007-06:00

Some of you may have noticed the T-shirts Chet and I were sporting at the races this Friday. Our daughter, Melissa, surprised her dad with the T-shirt as a gift. The t-shirt pocket logo and back image were designed by Melissa's friend, Craig Stinchcomb, an artist from the Ft. Meyers, Florida area. Melissa and Craig have put together a price list for anyone who would like to purchase a shirt or cold drink "Koozie". Those of you wishing to, please contact Kathleen Lee.

(I know it's hard to read, but it you will highlight the text in the shaded areas it will be easier. Sorry about that)

Fortunes and Misfortunes of Racing!

2010-04-27T09:20:00.002-06:00

I received an email from Ken Windley this morning...

"Nice email! On another note, most of you know that after winning round 1 Friday night, a valve dropped in the #4 cylinder of my Mopar, most likely ending my season.

On Saturday however, I received a phone call from Kyle Siepel and Peter Biondo announcing that I had won a brand new 2010 Racetech 245" Swing Arm Top Dragster chassis. A team racing at Bristol loaded it up for me since they plan to run at the Ignitor this week. So, if things work out right, I should have some pretty good trades going on with some local engine builders and be right back in the drivers seat. Nice job last week everyone!

Ken"

That's great, Ken! We certainly do hope to see you back on the track!

United Street Rods of Idaho

2009-10-04T11:35:00.007-06:00

USRI, Idaho's Automotive Lobbying Organization, held their 2009 Fall Meeting at Black Canyon Dam this year. Although the weather was a bit dampening, the spirits were not. The setting was beautiful, the people friendly and the provided food tasty. Baked or fried chicken, potato salad, macaroni salad, melons and fruit, cookies and a beautiful 30th anniversary cake. If you're not familiar with USRI, take a look at their site and see what wonderful works they do with all of us in mind.

1st Annual Melba Outlaws Car Show

2009-09-28T08:58:00.007-06:00

Red cars, yellow cars, fast cars, mellow cars...

The First Annual Melba Outlaws Car Show

was a rousing success! What a beautiful morning, for visiting with good folks and looking at wonderful examples of mechanical ingenuity! I'm just sorry I had to miss the end of the day Burnouts in the store parking lot! I hear it was a great way to close the show!
And me without my camera...

Oh, and

HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY! to Lee Cook.

Speedy Recovery

2009-09-15T09:23:00.004-06:00

We would like to wish Jason Squires a speedy recovery. He was involved in a motorcycle vs. automobile challenge on Sept. 4. He will be ok, but has some mending to do.

Also, the Melba Outlaws will be hosting a car show at the Melba Market Sunday Sept. 27 from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Breakfast at 9:00 a.m. Prizes and Giveaways. We're not sure the bouncing Ford Girls will be there or not.

What is there to say....

2009-09-12T16:50:00.005-06:00

To all those who came out and fought for it... Good Job!

Monsoon Baby!

2009-08-07T12:39:00.003-06:00

We just got word the News have postponed tonight's Club Challenge Races to Friday, August 21st. Enjoy the weather and we'll see you then! Happy racing!

SUSPENSION NOTIFICATION

2009-07-10T10:52:00.001-06:00

First off, the management of Firebird Raceway will not tolerate under any circumstances the use of electronics in any No Box class. Secondly, cheating will not be condoned and immediate action will be levied in the form of indefinite suspension from Firebird and the NHRA.

On Friday, July 3rd, Joe McDonald was caught using a delay box in Club Bracket #2. He was disqualified from the event and stripped of the eliminator victory. He will lose all of his points for the 2009 season in Pro eliminator, the Club Challenge Series and Outlaw Street competition.

McDonald will receive an indefinite suspension of one year, starting on July 6, 2009 and continue through July 6, 2010, after which he can apply for reinstatement.

His competition privileges will also be suspended with the National Hot Rod Association and all NHRA Member Tracks.

Firebird takes no pleasure in issuing this stern action, but will do what is necessary to maintain a level playing field for any and all racing participants during the course of the racing season.

Bill, Scott, John and Brad New
and Firebird Raceway Track Staff

Adjusted Point Standings

Let's Go Racin' Boys and Girls!

2009-04-26T09:50:00.010-06:00

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.

Michaela Lewis. So glad to see you out there again Michaela!

So glad to see all the Outlaws again. Next race is May 8th. Get ready to RUMBLE!!

Boogity Boogity Boogity!

The 2009 Racing Season Begins Tomorrow!

2009-04-23T07:35:00.006-06:00

Last night was what has just about become an annual event for the Melba Outlaws, the Firebird Club Challenge Winners Pizza Party! It's always fun to start off the new season with a party to get the competitive juices flowing.

The 2008 Season was one of the most exciting I can remember as the points difference between the clubs was very close. Staying on top is going to be no easy task this year. You can bet it will take a full compliment of dedicated Outlaws to take the No. 1 title again. We are looking forward to seeing all of our friends and fellow drivers hungry and ready to race!

Awards Banquet

2008-11-25T12:36:00.003-07:00

My good friend J.D. Adamson, sister to Big John Wood, informed me that John was honored with Racemaster of the Year at the recent Firebird Awards Banquet. Outstanding, John! Congratulations!

I excerpted this from Firebird's site:

"The 41st edition of the Firebird Award’s Banquet officially brought the 2008 NHRA Drag Racing Season to a close on Saturday night, November 22nd. Held in the ballroom of the DoubleTree Riverside in Boise, the banquet featured an evening packed with awards, which included upwards of $15,000 in cash and prizes.

One of the highlights of the evening was the 23rd presentation of the Racemaster award. John Wood, Nampa, was acknowledged for this very special Firebird Hall of Fame type award. Wood is the leader of the mighty Melba Outlaws club, the 12-time Silver Cup club champions."

Here's to all the Melba Outlaws an outstanding club...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

We Are The Champions, We Are The Champions!

Friends of Outlaws

2008-08-03T13:36:00.006-06:00

We wanted to say a great big THANK YOU! to the friends and extended family of the Outlaws who came out to help on Friday. I don't know who all of you are, but I do know Kim Moon filled in for Rob Keys after Rob took a tumble off his bike and messed up his collar bone, not to mention the unknown damage the concussion caused. (Just kidding Rob, we know you're still semi-normal).

I also heard Randy Williamson has a couple of sons up from California who helped us out, Neal and John. I hope that's right.

Thanks to all the Outlaws and all the Friends of the Outlaws. We really had a great night of racing. Let's be sure and leave them all with dust in their mouths on September 12 to finish the season!

YAHOO!! Dagonit!

2008-08-02T08:02:00.003-06:00

I LOVE this team! When it's "do or die" time EVERYBODY shows up and gives it their all!

The last unofficial count I heard had the Melba Outlaws 138 points ahead of PSI Racing. The Naughty Girls sure put on a show. I didn't hear the count for 3rd, but they are not far behind PSI. What a fun night of racing.

One thing I do know for sure, Bryce Perkins takes the 1st place trophy for Bracket 3!
Congratulations, Bryce!

I will get all of the photos and the official stats online when I get them. In the meantime, we have one more race to bring it all home again. Let's carry this enthusiasm on and remember:

"WE CAME, WE SAW, WE KICKED THEIR ASS!"

Are we ready?

2008-07-29T08:00:00.003-06:00

Yes, it's here already. Race number 5 is upon us this Friday. I'm sure every Outlaw in the valley is chompin' at the bit to get out there and rectify this sorrowful situation! We're gonna need everyone of our Outlaws there in full glory... It will be excitin', that is for sure!

Just a Note...

2008-07-14T16:17:00.003-06:00

Some of the Outlaws have begun putting the Club Letter on the driver's side window. This makes it easier for those of us in the grandstands to identify all the drivers we want and need to be rooting for. The announcing can be quite "spotty" to say the least, and we don't all know who all the Outlaws are. So, for those of you who haven't heard, we would sure appreciate it if you would help us out by adding the big letter "E" to your driver's side window. Thanks a bunch!

P.S.
I've changed the blog format so you no longer have to jump through hoops to comment. So, please do! I need the feedback. Thanks again!

Oh Boy...

2008-07-14T15:48:00.005-06:00

After seeing the first four races of the night turn into disappointment for the Outlaws, it looked to be a long night ahead. And it did prove to be. More red-lighting than we can remember in recent showdowns, it looked like the Outlaws were overly anxious to knock down some more wins.

Lynn Johnston makes it to the quarter-finals, while Walt Templeton and Roger Squire make it to the semi's. Good Job!

PSI Racing had a killer night of racing, with 2 in the winner's circle and one runner up, they take over the lead by 13 points. They obviously came to race. The Naughty Girls also came to race, climbing to within 91 points of the Outlaws.

So, it looks like the Outlaws will have to put on their racin' faces August 1st and bring all their guns to bear!

Race number 4 promises to be a hot one. Be sure to pack all the cold water and sunscreen you can find! We'll be the ones under the umbrellas! See you there!

Race #3

2008-06-16T09:25:00.004-06:00

It certainly looked like the Melba Outlaws had their hands full with The Naughty Girls in Race 3. Those girls are out to take control. But fortunately, with the like s of Outlaws like Roger Squire, Bryce Perkins and Eric Edvalson, the gap between first and second has increased again. The weather was beautiful, the fans were great and the racing was fantastic! See you at Race 4!

Results and points standings will be posted as soon as they come in. For now, this is a photo of Steve Olson and Paul Maiden during a practice run.

Outlaws Race 1 2008

And so it Begins

2008-04-29T07:45:00.002-06:00

The News and Firebird Raceway put on their usual Spring pizzafest for the Club Champions last night. What a fest it was. Besides pizza, the menu included antipasto, salad, lasagne and fettuccini alfredo! The event was held at Louie's in Meridian. What a nice facility. Everyone had a wonderful time. It was good to meet up and swap old racing stories, see some faces we only see during race season, and get excited about the new season. It was time well spent.....

2008 Season Begins

2008-03-13T07:35:00.000-06:00

May 2nd is the season opener for Fairly Reliable Bob's Club Challenge. After a long wet winter, race fans are ready for a little sunshine, fresh air and excitement! This season looks to be another fast-paced explosive shootout. Will Mopars Unlimited be gearing up to try and knock the Outlaws off of top position one more time? I think possibly, with PSI Racing, Naughty Girls and Middleton Crew hot on their heels!

See you at the track, race fans!
