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 1 - KDD NAPA OF BRADFORD NIGHT

WEEK 3 - VALLEY FLOORS

MAY 21, 2011

Tim's night almost ended before it started when he spun in practice

but a 4th Place finish sure beats going up in smoke last week!

WEEK 10 - DENNIS PRESTON BUILDER

INTERSTATE BATTERY SYSTEM OF NEW-MONT

Tim was back behind the wheel of his Little Deuce Coupe.....cast on his broken arm and all

A closer look at Tim during qualifying

Trying to hold off Terry Williams and Buster Kathan in the Feature

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!

Hodge looked like he has been in a coupe for years the way he ran the Feature!

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