Rumor has it that several Juggers are sitting their rears in the sand and dipping their toes in the water or libating at Margaritaville….some are practicing their cooking talents, maybe thinking of trying out for the Food Network.

FROM FACEBOOK POST(s) by JESSICA MUNRO: MARLIN KELLER; TERRY LINDBLAD; RON LINDBALD & PAUL LANGLOISGood morning!! I would just like to take a few seconds to introduce our newest members to the group... they are all extraordinary people with genuine hearts and a PASSION for racing (so I'm sure they will fit right in). Marlin Keller, or as Gary Ryan Sr. Likes to call him "merlin" is the scientist of the team mixing the nitro for the FED. Terry Lindblad is the driver of the gorgeous FED most recently featured as the cover photo of theBangshift.com March Meet article. Ron Lindblad is his father and the sweetest gentleman. Paul Langlois is another crew member and one of the friendliest men at the track :)JEFF BROCHHEUSERI had to do a separate post to introduce our other newest driver Jeff Brochheuser. He and Terry have been racing everything from go carts to boats to now dragsters together for almost all their lives. I have posted his most "infamous" boat video below. He has a gorgeous Bad Moon Rising alterd. And if you ever see a group of sillys doing wheelies in a golf cart thats probably our group. They are always having a great time and are incredibly hospitable. Their next race will be in Sac in June, so stop by and say hi! :D
