2009 RACING SEASON |

Rick Soto Owner/Driver, Rick Soto, will pilot the #30 A.R.T./YAMAHA mini sprint throughout the spring, summer and fall seasons. A long time dirt track race fan, his passion for racing began in the early 70’s watching micro/mini-sprints run at the Jet Bowl in Lemoore, CA. Attending motocross, scramble, speedway and flat track motorcycle events across the San Joaquin Valley became an addiction to Rick and his father Gene. However, it was the midgets, modifieds and sprints cars that fueled their fire. Kearny Bowl, Santa Maria, Hanford and Tulare’s Thunderbowl. Marysville, Chico and Placerville. San Jose, Watsonville, Calistoga………USAC, Bandits, NARC, Civil War, Outlaws…it didn’t matter where or who…if it was on dirt and they were sliding…Rick and Gene were there! “As we enter our third racing season, our goal again is to be consistent and competitive. Our first year with the BCRA proved to be an invaluable lesson to everyone on the team as we learned so much about racing throughout the season. We realized our goal of finishing in the top ten with a ninth place finish in driver points. We met such great people at the track that were willing to help and advise. Racing with the BCRA Midget Lites is competitive and demanding, but everyone is looking forward to another great racing season!”….Rick “RACING IN MEMORY OF DAD”

Terry Shoeffler Terry Shoeffler of “Terry’s Taxidermy” began going to the races with his father as a boy. It was in 1969 at the paved ¼ mile Stockton 99 Speedway where he was a crew member for a modified race team. Terry remained a loyal race fan at the track until the speedway closed in 2006. In the 70’s, Tuesday night grudge matches at Kingdon Raceway kept Terry busy in his ’65 Chevy Malibu. The “need for speed” in the mid to late 70’s had Terry drag racing his 1923 T-Bucket with a built 327 450HP at 10 second pace. Terry’s all around racing experience is a welcome addition to the Flying Fish Race Team.

Jeff Stark Glad to be back at the dirt oval is team member Jeff Stark. In the early 70’s spending time at the track helping his uncle’s sprint team was Jeff’s favorite pastime. West Capital Raceway in West Sacramento, CA was the track of choice but traveling with the crew to San Jose, Chico, Placerville and Marysville filled out his summers as a kid. Moving on to assist a neighbor with a stock car helped to hone his wrenching skills and racing knowledge. Jeff is looking forward to owning and driving his own car in the near future.
