The flags are 3'x 5' and will display the Juggers Logo on a black background. They are available one-sided or 2-sided. If you plan to hang it on a wall, only one side is necessary. The more we order, the less expensive they are. The single-sided flag will be about $100. The double-sided flag will be about $190. Please contact Sandy ASAP if you are interested. 408-888-0643.

RACE REPORTSubmitted by Dianna Munro
I am a BAD pit reporter… I did not make it to the pits at all this month. (Sad face) I was busy doing racing stuff, mostly in the shop and not enjoying the live action. So all of my reports this month are based on rumors….
Rumor has it that there were Juggers up and down the state doing what they love best, going FAST and bringing home the BLING!
Newer members Terry Lindblad, Ron Linblad, Marlin Keller, Paul Langlois and Jeff Brochheuser went all theway North to Samoa and gave it a good try. Longer term members Eddie Kucker and Don Bird were also there with Eddie going out 1st round and Don making it into the 2nd or 3rd round. Jeff went out first round with a blown valve.(I wonder how much Nitro Marlin was using???). Terry is standing next to his NICE second place trophy. Way to go Terry!
Then there is Harold Binsfeld and Dan Ficher. They were seriously torn between the Celebration of Life for Mikie or getting out there and laying the smack down. They chose to go to Redding Dragstrip knowing Mikiewould understand. I talked to Dan via text and he said he set out to win it for HIM and he DELIVERED. He had one heck of a weekend, as seen below he won on Saturday and was able to display Mikie’s artwork in the Winner’s Circle. He also picked up some nice hardware. The next day he set out to try to sweep the weekend. He was Number 1 Qualifier but went .003 red, then ran it out the back for a 10.604. It looks like atrophy from West Coast Pro Gas and a pretty one from the track and some cashola for being No. 1 qualifier.Dan, You the Man! There is Harold in the winner’s circle supporting his pal, Dan.
Then in Sonoma, Sabrina Pecora has been tearing it up! Rumor has it that she FLEW down the track with a7.44. I knew she wanted to go NE1 but that is super duper fast! She might be trying for a 7.0 PRO car???? Great Job Sabrina!!!
Where was I, not at any of these events….What was my excuse…..
We were working on Pure Adrenaline. She needed some TLC…..so she had gone on a field trip to Parky’s place in Minden. There is Parky’s Pops and Greg showing off their muscles. While at Parky’s she got somemuch needed adjustments, welded reinforcements, and replaced some worn out pieces. There she is all back together and getting ready to go to the Governor’s Cup
We did our best at a traditional Juggers’ get together, a few Juggers and a part of a cow! (We did not live upto the ¼ of a cow because I am watching my girlish figure) Here is one of the two tri-tips we devoured. Rumor has it that it rivaled Ellis' tri-tip. Kudos to the chefs – Greg and Parky.
Good luck to all the Juggers going to the Finals in Bakersfield. I sadly won’t be there but I am sending mini me to get some pictures and some details. I WILL BE in Bakersfield for the Reunion, See you there!!!
