Hey guys, a lot is going on at the Larsen Motorsports shop. We are getting settled in to our shop in Palm Bay, FL (Chris is in Heaven!!!!). Racing is fast and furious. Mother Nature has not always been kind to us this year, but we are making the best of it. The Miller Welding team has taken home 2 Ironmen and are currently the IHRA jet dragster points leader, so I am a happy woman. New driver Shea Holbrook (Florida Institute of Technology) is doing a great job adjusting from road racing to jet racing. I am so proud of her willingness to learn out sport!! I see a very bright future for her!!! We licensed a new driver Jake Elliott, a weld engineer from Miller. Jake has been with us for several years as crew, but would like to make the leap into the drivers seat. He obtained his jet car license in the office season, and we are looking for opportunities for him to move in the drivers seat full time!!! Make sure you follow Jake on his facebook and twitter. https://www.facebook.com/elliott.lms?fref=ts I can tell you, it was a lot different training a guy instead of a girl. Guys think totally different!! Jake licensed in my Miller Welding Jet and we are working towards building a car for him. Lucky I have a welder!! LOL 
Speaking of drivers, long time LMS driver Marisha Falk, announced that this will be her final season racing. I have known Marisha for over 6 years and it has been so much fun to see her grow her racing career. I have been in the lane beside her and watched her cross the finish line in front of me too many times to count. She is a furious competitor, a great racer and an even better friend. I know a lot of fans will miss seeing Marisha and her infectious smile and cartwheels down the track. This was a hard decision for her, but she is ready to take that next step in her life. We support Marisha 110% and wish her well. She will continue on at LMS, but more in a management position. You never know, she may kick one of us out of the seat and take our hot rod down the track!! Marisha was a great addition to the team and I for one will miss our adventures!! From the races, our happy hours at Bahama Breeze to the Fireball Run. I love this girl and wish her the best!!!!
The racing will go on!!! We are getting ready to head out for our summer tour with the IHRA. Our next race is in Budds Creak, then on to Grand Bend, Spokane, and Edmonton!!! Kat's car has been the quickest and fastest, but Marisha was looking really good in Cordova, so this battle is far from over. Make sure you follow all of the teams on Facebook and twitter to stay up to date! We hope to see you all at the races!!!
love ya,
