PASS Outlaws -
Monday, September 3rd -
The Katie
Hagar Motorsports team traveled the long distance on the
Holliday Weekend to Canaan New Hampshire to compete in the
PASS Outlaw 100. Katie started and finished last in her heat
after having only two practices in order to get ready for
the big race. That placed the #14 car in a 19th starting
position for the feature race.
Several
multi-car tangles left Katie just trying to survive the 100
laps. But a broken right front rod end as well as a
bent sway bar arm ended the day for the #14.
Katie
and the #14 will hit Wiscasset Raceway on Saturday September
8th for the
$3000.00 TO
WIN! NAPA

3 Day Marathon
Friday, Saturday, & Sunday - August 17th to 19th
Friday - PASS Outlaw Late Models 100 - 5th
Riverside Speedway - Groveton, New Hampshire
The #14 car was solid all day. With a strong car and a strong
team Katie Hagar was the one to beat in the PASS Outlaws 100
lapper.
Katie: " The race went well...we definitely had a top three car,
maybe even the car to beat! We got caught up in a wreck in turn
1 and 2 halfway through the race which set us back a couple of
positions, but we had the best car it's been all year long.
Having that kind of car we were able to work our way back up
through the field.
Unfortunately with two laps to go we were passing a car on the
outside for position and somehow cut a left front tire as well
as a right rear tire. We lost two positions just from that
incident but finished the race with a top 5 finish and stayed in
one piece which allows us to keep racing the remainder of the
weekend. I was fortunate to have the help that I had this
weekend and looking forward to racing both Saturday and Sunday
at Wiscasset Raceway, my home track." |

Saturday -
Clark's Car Crushing Pro Stocks 50 - 7th
Wiscasset Raceway - Wiscasset, ME
The Katie Hagar Motorsports Inc. Team had a long travel back
from Groveton, NH but that didn't stop the #14 Dodge Charger.
It's been six years since Katie has raced at her home race
track, Wiscasset Raceway. Katie competed in the Pro Stock
Division pulling out a solid 7th place finish out of 20 cars.
With a large crowd in the stands Katie was able to do live TV
with Trackside just before the race and have a second
appearance on Mainly Motorsports.
Katie's statements on Saturday's Race at Wiscasset Speedway:
"It was a late night last night after running in Groveton, New
Hampshire but I feel strong as ever! It's been a long time since
I've raced here and I'm looking forward to it. This facility has
changed so much since it's changed ownership, and I'm definitely
looking forward to see the full potential of this speedway.
Running with the Pro Stocks is a great opportunity to get some
valuable seat time. My team has worked hard all week so I'm
happy with our finish tonight. Again we played it on the safe
side and kept in one piece for tomorrow's PASS 150." |

Sunday - PASS North Super Late Models 150 - 19th
Wiscasset Raceway
- Wiscasset, ME
For the third day straight Katie Hagar and her team were back at
the track to compete in the PASS North Super Late Model 150.
The #14 started 27th out of 30 cars and finished 19th. Katie was
running a smooth and consistent race before getting caught up in
"The Big One" wreck in turn one at lap 102. With only cosmetic
damage, one pit stop, and one Lucky Dog free lap, Katie finished
the full 150 laps completing her 300 green flag lap race
weekend.
Katie's view of Wiscasset's PASS Race:
" Having run so well the night before I was concerned that car
wasn't as strong today. The track was quite different in the
daylight, and we struggled in our practice. We had to use our
heat as if it was another practice because I wasn't 100%
satisfied with the car.
Running with
some of the best drivers here in the North like Mike Rowe, Stan
Meserve, Kelly Moore, and Dave Dion, I wanted to make sure we
had a comfortable yet competitive car. I'm out here to earn
respect but stand my ground at the same time.
It was a
survival race for me. The goal to bring the car home in one
piece. We have some fender work to do, but I know I did my job
tonight and that's all that matters. Hearing the crowd tonight
at driver introductions really made me realize that I can do
this and I'm here to win just like all the other guys." |

Clark's
Car Crushing Pro Stock 50
Saturday, August 4th - 9th Place
The #14
Katie Hagar Motorsports Inc. team hit the track hard Friday,
August 3rd for testing at Wiscasset Speedway to get ready
for the Saturday night Clark's
Car Crushing Pro Stock 50
lapper. After making multiple setup changes during eight
hours of practice, Katie left the track with consistant
15.3-15.4 lap times.
On Saturday the Pro Stocks had three practices, two heats
and the 50 lap feature. With a slight rain delay after the
first two practices the track changed dramatically. The #14
was tight and pushing out of turn four so the rain delay
helped us and was beneficial! Most of the other competitors
said their cars went the other way, so I knew the heat races
were going to be interesting since we didn't have another
practice.
Drawing a 5th place outside starting spot in the
second 12 lap heat, I was able to stay and hold that
5th place spot earning the tenth place start position in the
feature. We still had a tight car and needed more bite so
the team made a few more adjustments before feature time.
Ten laps after the Green flag dropped, my car really started
to come in.
I was waiting for my tire temps to come up before I could
make any moves on the outside grove. Wiscasset's turn 3
through turn 4 is really rough and has no bite. When you
have a competitor on the inside of you, you have to be aware
of the roughness and keep in mind that the inside car could
push up into you. If you get too high coming out of turn 4
you could lose it on the front stretch. So I wanted to make
sure my car was 100% under me before making any moves.
With 25 laps on the scoreboard, we caught up to two cars
battling side by side which held us back for a long time.
Having a great car we were able to pass them both for position. On Lap 45 the caution came out for Charlie
Colby. We had a great restart and crossed the finish line in
9th place and in one piece.
I couldn't have done this with out the help of my team, Seth
Holbrook, and Doug White.
I would also like to thank NC Hunt Lumber and Skip Cahill
Tire for their continuing support.
We look forward to our next PASS Outlaw Late Models Series
event at
Riverside Speedway in Groveton, NH on Friday, August 17th. |

Katie Hagar
Motorsports
Starts the Season at
Beech Ridge on 5/5 |
Katie will be
concentrating on the PASS Outlaw Late Model Series for 2007
with the newly rebodied #14, now configured with an Outlaw
wedge-type, high downforce body.
After a 2 week rain delay, the PASS racers gathered at Beech
Ridge in Scarborough, ME for an afternoon of practice on
Friday the 4th. Katie and the team got to work sorting out
the car with it's fresh aerodynamics.
Katie pulled a low number in the draw for the heat positions
and started on the pole of Heat 2. At the drop of the green
for the 12 laps of the heat, Katie fell into second and
fought off a couple of challengers to finish there and earn
the fourth starting spot in the 100 lap feature.
In the
feature, Katie settled into a mid-pack spot with the plan of
running a steady pace for the first three-quarters of the
race and save the car for the final 25 laps. However, the
#14's battery gave up on lap 35, and Katie was pushed to the
pits by a wrecker with a 16th place finish.

by PASS's AMB transponder system can be found
