PRESEASON

(5/4/00) - The newest Monte is coming together quickly. Fritz (Dad) will be racing this one when the season starts at TNT and Riverside later this month. Fritz and Tate will be racing in the Street Stock division, while Marlys will be racing in the Pure Stocks.

(4/27/00) - The racing season in northern Wisconsin is fast approaching so it's time to rebuild the website along with a few stock cars. This website originally had my (somewhat sparse) racing accomplishments from 1999, along with some historical information. This year Marlys and Fritz Scharf, otherwise known to me as Mom and Dad, will also have their info posted here. Hopefully that will happen within the next couple weeks. This site isn't very pretty now, and I'm not the type of guy who gets around to painting his stock car in the off-season, but hopefully I'll find some time in the near future to liven this site up a bit.
