The Jr Dragster will be working the 1/8 mile drag surface via Mickey Thompson Performance Tires for 2010. M/T has a very strong history in motorsports and has a great Jr Dragster tire that works excellent in not just the traction category but is also very light weight. Griffin and M/T will be striving for a winning season along with some big MPH runs!

Thank you Mickey Thompson!

Off Season - Youth Deer Hunt

Griffin gets his first ever buck. Not a 30 pointer but a Button Buck. Thanks to Tom and Fred Henson for a great weekend at The Cabin. Check out the pictures of Griffin's target shooting at 100 yards, and then getting the little buck from 80 yards. Great shooting for the first time with a big rifle and even some target shooting with the .45 handgun.
