Stanley & Weiss Racing Take Short Sabbatical

By Camp Stanley

Hagerstown, MD – Dictionary.com describes a sabbatical as: “any extended period of leave to acquire new skills or training, etc.” This, to all of our faithful followers is what we have been forced to take part in.

A run of three DNQ’s has forced us to face reality! Although we finally figured out what has been causing our issues this year it all came “to little, to late”.

After evaluating our fastly deteriorating checkbook balance with my assistant financier and friend Mr. Axle Weiss and the rest of our very close knit team, we decided it would best to take one of these forced sabbaticals to pump some new lifeblood into said checkbook!

Our plan is to sit out one more race, the ADRL Speedtech U.S. Drags IV in Richmond, Virginia. I have been telling lots of people that, “instead of spending money in Richmond, I will go to the FIA round in Germany that very same weekend and make a little money!!!”

Our plan as it stands now is to be back out with a vengeance at Dragstock VIII in Rockingham, North Carolina ready to “get it on!” If things go according to plan and testing is successful you will see and hear about a new and reinvigorated Stanley & Weiss Racing team! The Appalachia on Steroids Camaro will be back to its old self, as will the entire team.

Missing the ADRL race in Martin, Michigan marked the first race we have missed since fielding our new Tim McAmis Camaro in Memphis in 2009! The facing of facts was hard to do, but bite the bullet we did. We all have seen many of our friends not know when to say “WHOA” and we refuse to get caught in that trap.

We plan on being back in full force as the formidable, consistent team we have been since our foray over into the ADRL. We have never been the fastest! We have never been the quickest! BUT we have always been among the most consistent. We were always there on race day. We always brought our “A” game. And rest assured we will do all these same things yet again.
