THANK YOU TO EVERYONE
August 5, 2010

I am very saddened yet happy at the same time to announce that I, Brian Racine will be Retiring from the sport that i have loved for 32 years!

A very big decision has been made after given an opportunity to buy my first home for my family. Many of the viewers on this board know me personally or have had a chance to race with me! This has by far been the biggest decision of my life. This micro racing thing was a dream of mine from a child when I used to go with my brothers to watch them race their stock cars and i would roll tires to Kevin Gobrechts car in his pit spot! I will keep this short and sweet, before rumors start i was not fired from my ride and nothing went sour anywhere along this journey. This is an adult decision to stop racing and buy a home for my wife and kids. There are a ton of people I have to thank for making the 2009 season my (Dream Season) with winning the 600cc and 1000cc track championship at Trail-Way Speedway!!!! With that being said I want to start with Kevin Markle and his wife Nicole, Adam Fodor and my last crew member Tony Little!! You guys all know the countless hours you spent and $ you spent to keep us racing and I cant thank you guys and ladie enough. Then theres my car owners Mike Humbert and Brandy Hayes for giving me the best of equipement you could provide a driver with!!
On another note did not want to forget my 1000cc car owners in 2009, SGT Jason Forry and his wife Heather, who also gave me a fantastic car and great equipement to win my first ever feature event and championship and for allowing me the opportunity to buy your home!

NOW THAT WAS A VACATION!!!!!
July 10, 2010

I couldn’t compete in speedweek due to a family vacation that had been previously planned. No biggie…Arron made me proud and made my team look awesome. Thanks Arron! Vacation was well worth it but I gotta say that as that week came closer to the return trip home…. I WAS READY TO RACE!!!!!! I told the crew that the next night of racing was ours. They promised me a great car as usual and off to TW we went on Saturday. Rain looked like it was going to spoil my fun but it held off surprisingly. They track was to my liking. The car was set up a lil differently than usual and let me tell ya…my guys nailed it!! We won our heat race from the 6th starting position. We lined up 5th in the main. Nothing but good cars/drivers in tow of course! There’s no time to mess around when you have those kats racing with you. You gotta go! So I did. Not wasting anytime I quickly made my way up to second within a couple laps. Several laps following the leader…setting him up for a pass. I took a couple laps but I finally made the pass near mid way. Now just because I’m where I need to be doesn’t mean its over! That pesky 18D was hot on my bumper. How does this always happen??? Well I’m glad it does because it forces me to use every bit of what I have and what the car will give me.

I was able to hold second place off for the remainder to pull off our first 2010 victory!!!!

Man this feels good! Again thanks to my crew and car owners for all that they do every week. Thanks to our marketing partners! Thanks to our product partners! We will have more before season’s end. I PROMISE.

See ya this Saturday!!!

GOOD WEEK!!!!!!!!
July 5, 2010

PA 600 Speedweek with Arron Spahr was well worth it. The combination of our Team and the Spahr’s was proving to be lethal. While there was a costly mistake made on day two forcing Arron to charge thru the alphabet mains only to fall two spots short….We rallied with some great finishes and qualifying spots the rest of the week. The great driving and charging inspired Arron’s new nickname…. “The Bull”. Scott Spahr and company are welcome anytime in our camp. Besides…Who wouldn’t want the best engine builder in country in your corner?!?!!

We finished up the week with a 10th place at TW, DNQ at Lincoln, 2nd at Path Valley, 15th at Susky, 3rd at Linda’s and we were set to start 3 out of 78 cars that attempted to qualify for the big show at Lanco. Unfortunately, that show was halted due to a horrific crash. God Speed Jim Garrison. We had a VERY good chance to win that event and show all that both the Spahrs and HyperMotive Racing Group are a top notch team and can compete with the best that there is.

From all of us at HRG….Thank You Arron, Scott and family for participating in speedweek this year. It was well worth it!


HyperMotive Racing Group and Arron Spahr team up for PA 600 Speedweek
June 4, 2010

For those of your familiar with the 600cc microsprint racing scene you are familiar with our PA 600 Speedweek held every year the week prior to the 4th of July. It consists of 6 races starting at Trail-way Speedway on June 26th then to Lincoln Speedway Sunday, Path Valley Monday, Susquehanna Speedway Thursday, Linda’s Speedway Friday then the ultimate and highest paying micro event, Micro Mania to be held at Lanco paying $10,000! All other shows pay $2500. Not too shabby for micros huh? Thanks to all that put this together every year!

Now that being said HRG has been preparing since the beginning of the year for this week. Brian “HollyWood” Racine is the wheelman of the HyperMotive Racing Group, Xtreme Auto & Audio, Psycho Racing #14 and has been since HRG’s conception in 2005. Unfortunately, this year puts us in a situation where Brian cannot commit to the intense week of racing. We believe that our team can be a threat for the speedweek championship. Brian agrees and suggested that we put a driver in the car that can make all the shows and would be a worthy pilot.

After discussing it amongst the team members, we decided to present the opportunity to Arron Spahr, son of expert engine builder Scott Spahr. Arron and Scott agreed that the situation could result in excellent results. The agreement was outlined and set into motion.

Arron had previously driven our car several weeks ago when Brian wasn’t available. We already know that he is literally a perfect fit and can wheel at the championship level that Brian does weekly. We have no concerns heading into this week of racing. Of course the #14 will backed by some great horsepower provided by Spar Racing Engines of York, Pa The combination provides the best of everything and creates a “No Excuses” level of racing. (no pressure Arron )

We are very excited to battle for this championship along with event wins. We hope to see all 600cc microprint fans at these shows as they will be packed full of expert drivers from all areas. If you have never witnessed this type of racing…… You need to!

OPENING DAY – COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER
March 20, 2010

The excitement was really building up last week prior to heading to the season opener Saturday at Trail-Way. We were all stoked. We got there and patiently waited as our has been ready for quite a while now. We were also helping out some good friends next to us that purchased our 1000cc car from last year and is now a 600cc. Kody Hartlaub wheels that machine now.

Warm ups the car seem decent but needed a few little adjustments. Both Kody and I were in the second heat and the track was taking on its normal one groove/dusty daytime surface. Nobody wishes to race on those conditions. One lap after the green I was up to 4th from 5th and Kody was in the mix behind me. Unfortunately for him he found himself slightly out of the groove coming out of turn 4 and collected the wall which in turn sent him into a flip. The car took a couple hard hits. Kody was okay. We continued. The next lap after the restart had myself racing close with two cars. I came out of turn 4 and dedicated myself to the high line. The car in front of me slid up and my reaction was of course to come back down but timing was poor as another competitor was there. I touch both of the cars and now I was the one heading to the wall. It sent me into my very first 600cc micro sprint flip. At this point I do not recall much. It was pretty violent. Once back in the pit area…I apparently started having some concentration issues and my crew immediately called for the EMT. They suggested that I go to the hospital for further evaluation. I did. I had a concussion but did not require any further testing. I started to come around as the night progressed. Very scary. Thank you to all who were there to aid me.

Of course that didn’t stop me from returning to the race track to watch the mains!!! Congratulations to Tyler Walton on taking his Hyper/Spar to victory lane! From there, I decided that the best medicine for me was more racing and off to Lincoln we went! Yeah, I know, I’m not right in the head…heh especially now 

The doctor said that I need to be reevaluated and will be out for a couple weeks. The car sustained some significant damage but will be repaired.

I cant express enough to the manufacturers of the chassis and other safety components my many thanks for building me a safe car.

You can view pictures taken by Mike Zortman on our new facebook page. It is listed under HyperMotive Racing Group

Hope to see you in the stands soon!

LETS GET DIRTY
March 3, 2010

Well its the beginning of March, all the shows are completed, are looks great thanks to my team and we are ready to go rip it up at the season opener at Trail-Way. Opening day is scheduled for March 20th. We hope that happens. Obviously weather will dictate if we race or not.

This winter has been a rough one for sure but that hasn’t stopped us from getting our equipment ready for 2010. The car recently fired up and sounds fast! Thanks to our sponsors and anyone else who has been there this off season to help our program along. Things would not get done without you.

We hope to see you at the track and please stop by to chat!
