Trey and Tate's cars are essentially scaled down race cars. These cars feature full four wheel independent suspension and full roll cages. Seat belts and shoulder harnesses are mandatory as their speeds can range from 50 mph for Tates Jr. Sprint all the way up to 100 mph for Trey's 600cc Winged Sprint car at the larger tracks. As you've probably figured out by now, this is a great way for these two young competitors to hone their racing skills and have some family fun at the same time!

Trey Datweiler had a successful 2007 season and is entering his 9th season of racing. Trey has been able to parlay his previous Quarter Midget success into his faster 600cc car and has several wins and captured the pole position at several races. In fact, Trey has far outreached the teams expectations for him since making the change to the faster car. We are extremely pleased with the results of his driving efforts and look forward to continued success in the 2008 season.

Not only can Trey drive the car very well, he is very good at adjusting his driving to the cars handling and subsequently relaying info on what adjustments for the crew to make to make the car perform better. Trey also helps with the maintenance on the car during the week. This year Trey also plans on hanging around our A./Fuel car and learning more about it.

Trey is very dedicated to his racing and, in addition, he maintains an "A" average in school. Trey has decided to focus entirely on racing this season and will take a year off from baseball which was one of his favorite sports. Trey is looking forward to having much more future success with his racing and has very high standards to meet after already winning over 150 trophies, several regional wins and track points championships in his racing efforts over the last 8 years.

Tate is very energetic and loves to be involved in fun activities. He is a really good student and hopes to use these positive traits to to have both fun and success in whatever activities that he he is involved in.
