Hodge, Tim
When you see Tim's 'Lil Deuce' mixed in with other cars in the Fast Four Division, he sure looks out of place. Sure it's a Mustang GT....but it doesn't look much like any other Mustang at Bear Ridge. And this Mustang flies! Watch for him in Victory Lane soon....and often!

WEEK 17 - SABIL & SONS
AUGUST 27, 2011
This week the coupes ran time trials.....Tim came out but before his session was scheduled to
finish he left that track and did not return. It looked to me like his car hit a rut and jerked to the right...
Hodge has been in a cast for the last month after breaking his wrist and I would not be
surprised to hear that he re-injured his arm. I hope that I'm wrong.
WEEK 18 - DEAD RIVER COMPANY
SEPTEMBER 3, 2011
Thankfully I was wrong last week.....Tim didn't re-injure his arm, he broke an axle. Much easier to fix!

Tim's first podium finish in the Coupes! Great 2nd place run!
