June 17, 2006 Shane and his dedicated team made the long drive from Canada to Yakima Speedway's  Nascar Northwest Tour Elite division PENGUIN PLUMBING 125.

Shane, qualified the car 5th fastest out of 30 cars, a six car invert would put him on the outside front row. His front row starting position would be very short as a malfunctioning brake recirculator causing very spongy brakes, this problem would push him all the way back to 15th place before our luck changed and the brake recirculator started working again. 

Shane worked his way though lapped traffic and lead lap cars to finish in 13th place on the lead lap. While the team was disappointed in the finish. The problems the team had were caused by someone else and not of our doing.

June 10, 2006 In this past weekends race, Shane and his dedicated team made the long drive from Canada to Magic Valley Speedway in Twin Falls (Southern) Idaho, for the Nascar Northwest Tour Elite division Pepsi 125.

While the team was not excited about their finish, they were far from being disappointed. The team knows they are on the right track to collect there first win.

The race had fans standing most of the race seeing Shane win his eight race of the year, just narrowly defeating Naima Lang who was looking for his first career Superstock win. &nbsp; In qualifying Shane set fast time for the 6th time of the year running a 17.680 lap on Evergreens 3/8-mile oval. &nbsp; With the invert having Shane starting 10th, Shane wasted no time in rapidly moving forward. Shane would move to 5th by lap two, and into 3rd by lap three. &nbsp; Shane moved into the 2nd position behind our great competitor Naima Lang on lap nine. In a very spirited battle weaving through lapped traffic with Shane in hot pursuit, this kept the fans standing all the way until lap 50 for what appeared to be Naima’s first win of his Superstock career. This&nbsp;was not to be as on lap 49 with Naima only needing&nbsp;to make it through&nbsp;turns three and four to take the checkered flag. The two cars&nbsp;of Naima and Shane came upon the slower car of&nbsp;Travis Powell, who stayed in the middle groove of the track. Shane went low under Travis while Naima went to the high side splitting the slower car between the 1st and 2nd place cars. Shane beat Naima to the flag by only a couple of feet.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Hits as of 09/11/2006 *6207 Hits as of 09/05/2006 *6028 &nbsp; &nbsp; AUGUST 26th NASCAR DODGE WEEKLY SERIES AT EVERGREEN SPEEDWAY MONROE, WA&nbsp; &nbsp; August&nbsp;26th, 2006&nbsp;&nbsp;In&nbsp;practice&nbsp;the team concentrated on&nbsp;making sure Shane’s brakes were at their best. With the brake problem behind them Shane went out to qualify, on his first lap he ran a 17.481 lap, which&nbsp;was fast time of the day. In his second lap the car was very loose and was uncharacteristically slower than his first qualifying lap.&nbsp; &nbsp; The&nbsp;teams at Evergreen Speedway have been&nbsp;forced to use four-year-old&nbsp;left side Goodyear tires due to&nbsp;a tire shortage from&nbsp;Goodyear. In the last&nbsp;couple of races this tire has caused havoc with most&nbsp;of the teams. This race would be Shane’s turn to have difficulties with these tires, as the stagger from both left side tires was incredibly inconsistent with normal.&nbsp; &nbsp; With the invert having Shane starting 11th out of 17 cars Shane's plan was to get to the front as quick as&nbsp;possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;Unfortunately the best plans don't always work out. On lap two, Tom Hughes and Darin Stordahl made contact with Darin spinning the car in turn 1. Shane drove off the tracks paved surface out and around the car on the track. In a controversial move, the officials decided Shane was involved in the caution as he was in the dirt&nbsp;and sent him to the rear of the field despite him having no possible involvement in the spun car other than avoiding it.&nbsp;Shane&nbsp;while unhappy about the decision made the best of it and worked his way up to 10th by lap 12 and then to 4th by lap 21. At this point passing became agonizingly slow as the lead cars were 1/2 a lap ahead of Shane’s car. Shane would spend the remaining laps counting down under green flag conditions to slowly reel them in without the aid of any needed cautions. Unfortunately the needed caution didn't come out until late in the race, just as Shane had moved inside of the 2nd place car and current point leader Rob Touchette.&nbsp; The resulting Green-White Checker finish didn’t allow Shane another opportunity for another pass.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Hits as of 08/15/2006 *5816 &nbsp; &nbsp; AUGUST 12th NASCAR DODGE WEEKLY SERIES AT EVERGREEN SPEEDWAY MONROE, WA&nbsp; August&nbsp;12th, 2006&nbsp;&nbsp;In&nbsp;practice Shane complained of weak braking ability. With time being very short to qualify and the team&nbsp;unsure of whether the lack of braking was related to the brakes themselves or the four-year-old&nbsp;Goodyear tires all the teams were forced to use. Shane went out and&nbsp;made his qualifying run, Shane qualified in the&nbsp;6th position despite having very little braking.&nbsp; &nbsp; After qualifying the team had time to&nbsp;investigate the lack of braking finding very glazed brake pads. Despite the replacement pads being dramatically different than those we normally use, they&nbsp;helped tremendously. Shane was able to increase his lap speeds 2/10's of a second over his earlier practice speeds. &nbsp; For the main event&nbsp;Shane would start on the outside 2nd row. Shane would take the lead&nbsp;before the 1st lap was over. After taking the lead,&nbsp;a&nbsp;couple of cars behind him made contact and spun before the 1st lap was over. The track brought out the yellow and then the red flag. The officials had the teams make a complete restart&nbsp;of the race.&nbsp;For the 2nd restart Shane still made quick work moving to the 2nd place position on lap 2, and remaining there&nbsp;until lap 9&nbsp;when Shane moved forward to take the lead from&nbsp;Scott Sarto.&nbsp;&nbsp;Shane would remain in the lead to fight off the hard charging Naima Lang all the way to the end on lap 50 to take the checkered flag for his 7th win of the year. This win moved Shane to within 8 point of the current point&nbsp;leader Rob Touchette. &nbsp; Hits as of 08/15/2006 *5525 &nbsp; AUGUST 5th NASCAR DODGE WEEKLY SERIES AT EVERGREEN SPEEDWAY MONROE, WA&nbsp; August&nbsp;5th, 2006&nbsp;&nbsp;In this weekends racing, nothing came easy for the ShaneCity racing team. A decision earlier in the week was made to not race the NASCAR Northwest Tour Elite division race at Magic Valley Speedway in Twin Falls Idaho. The team is going to concentrate on winning their 2nd NASCAR Dodge weekly series title in the Evergreen Speedway Superstock division. &nbsp; While normally running the Evergreen speedway Superstock races have been fairly easy for the team, this weekends double-header races were the exception as they were plagued by numerous problems. The team was very shorthanded on crew this past weekend. To make matters worse, a few of the crewmembers and Shane fell ill at the track with very sour stomach’s caused by bad restaurant food. Geoff and Tom really stepped up and took on the challenge of doing jobs normally done by others. They did an incredible job in getting the car ready for practice and after a disappointing 6th place qualifying position; they made numerous changes to get the car faster for the race. &nbsp; Another problem plaguing the ShaneCity race team as well as all the teams at Evergreen Speedway was tires. Goodyear has been having problems lately delivering the quantities of tires needed by the race teams. As a result all the teams were required to run left side tires that were at least four years old. These tires provided very little grip and contributed to many problems to all the teams during the races. &nbsp; In the evening’s first race on the 3/8-mile track, the invert would have Shane starting in the 10th position. Shane showed why it his most favorite track of all. Shane moved up at a blistering pace taking 2nd position on by lap 6, and then took the lead on lap 16 where he and his great competitor Roger Habich dueled until lap 50 with Shane taking his 6th win of the season. &nbsp; In the 2nd 50-lap race of the evening, the invert had Shane starting 9th. Shane made quick work of it and moved to 5th on the first lap, and then to 2nd by lap twelve. On lap fourteen with Shane making a pass on the outside of the leader Tom Hughes, Tom car was unable to hold his line with the very poor grip provided by the four year old tires. Contact was made between the two cars with both spinning. Shane was able to make a full spin and keep on going without any cars passing him. This put Shane in the lead albeit temporarily. Unfortunately a new rule was implemented during this race that required any cars involved in a caution be sent to the back of the pack of lead lap cars. &nbsp; Shane restarted the race in the 13th position on lap 17, he once again rapidly moved up positions taking 8th place on lap 25 staying there until lap 27 where he moved again to the 5th position by lap 29 only to find the flagman waving the checkered flag. Shane and his ShaneCity race team were very disappointed in the tracks unannounced decision to change the length of the race, as they felt very confident they had the fastest car on the track. &nbsp; Shane and the ShaneCity race team apologizes to Roger Habich and his team for damage made to Rogers car during the race. Shane made a very bold pass through lead lap and lapped cars. Unfortunately Shane&nbsp;mistimed his pass and made contact with Rogers car. The resulting heavy contact caused substantial cosmetic damage to Rogers’s car. Shane is very sorry for the damage caused to Rogers’s car. Hits as of 08/08/2006 *5387 &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; July 22nd, 2006&nbsp;Shane finishes 24th in the&nbsp;NASCAR&nbsp;NORTHWEST&nbsp;TOUR ELITE DIVISION&nbsp;AT&nbsp;Yakima&nbsp;Speedway.&nbsp; The weekend’s action was&nbsp;very hot as we took traveled to Yakima Speedway, the 1/2-mile&nbsp;oval in Yakima, WA. This&nbsp;1/2-mile track is another favorite of ours &nbsp;as the Harding teams have consistantly run up front. &nbsp; &nbsp;With the crew working in grueling&nbsp;106 degree heat.&nbsp;The car was near perfect, as Shane would qualify 6th fastest. A ten car&nbsp;invert had&nbsp;Shane starting on the inside third row. At 9:00 PM for the start of the race, the temperature was still 95 degrees. The car's handling didn't react well to the higher than expected&nbsp;temperatures. Shane would remain in the top&nbsp;position all the way until lap 96 when a large crash on the backstretch&nbsp;blocked most of the track. While weaving through the spinning cars,&nbsp;Shane was hit from the rear and pushed into one of the spinning cars in front of him. The car suffered substantial damage though Shane was able to drive to the pits for&nbsp;two very quick pit stops all while remaining on the lead lap. A couple laps later a shower of sparks developed from the front of Shane's car,&nbsp;unfortunately confusion in the pits cost Shane many laps before the problem was found. The crews confusion in solving the cars problem cost Shane an easy top ten finish. &nbsp; &nbsp; Hits as of 7/25/2006 *4721 &nbsp; July 15th, 2006 SHANE&nbsp;FINISHES FOURTH IN THE&nbsp;NASCAR&nbsp;NORTHWEST&nbsp;TOUR ELITE DIVISION&nbsp;AT&nbsp;&nbsp;EVERGREEN SPEEDWAY AND WINS HIS FIFTH RACE IN A ROW IN THE 75 LAP NASCAR DODGE SUPERSTOCK WEEKLY SERIES. &nbsp; This weekend’s action has us very excited as we took both cars to our home track, the 3/8-mile&nbsp;oval at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, WA. This tight little 3/8-mile track is a favorite of ours as we have 14 wins in our last&nbsp;20 races on this difficult track. &nbsp; With the crew working twice as hard&nbsp;preparing two cars for two races they were quite happy with the results.&nbsp;A full field invert had Shane starting last in the 75 lap Superstock event. Shane made quick work and rapidly moved up postions taking the lead on lap He maintained a comfortable lead all the way to to take the checkerd flag. &nbsp; In the Nascar Northwest Elite division 125,&nbsp;Shane started in the fifth position and with an ill handling car, he&nbsp;was able t
