After a tough weekend at Boise a shocking development has taken place in the last 72 hours. Vaunted FC pilot Kris Krabill moved to NW Washington within throwing distance of Bucky's headquarters. After consulting with the team, Bucky made what he is expecting to be a very progressive move, by putting Krabill in the drivers seat. Kris is a multiple event champion in the NFC class winning many Heritage events including the CHRR and the March Meet. Being he s now living so close to the "Hitters" shop and the fact is work on the race car he became a logical choice to drive the newly built Arrow (the new look debuted last week at Boise.). Bucky wants to thank Ryan Davenport for filling the 'shoe' for the last four events, he did an admirable job in a very short time. Ryan lives in Canada (Calgary) and the logistics makes much more sense to have a local drivers and well as a crew guy able to help service the car on a regular basis, something that Ryan was not able to do.

The team is really looking forward to their first event with Kris behind the wheel. We will have a bio up on Kris shortly as well as photos of the new look Arrow.
