Hello race fans! My name is Lyle
Phillips. I am married (Melissa) with one daughter (Caitlyn). We live in
Edgerton, Wisconsin. I drive the #35 car owned by Jeff Tomashek. 2008
will be our 3rd year racing with FIRA. Our car is powered by a
2000 Polaris 600cc snowmobile engine. Last year was our best year yet, we
won our 1st race (the trophy dash at Grundy County Speedway on
July 15th), and we finished 5th in the final point standings.
Our goal for last year was to win a race and we did it! This year we are
shooting for two.
I come from a long line of drivers,
my dad (Lyle Phillips Jr.) raced for several years around Wisconsin and at
Rockford Speedway winning a few championships along the way. His life was
cut short by an illness in 1988. My uncle David also raced those same
tracks winning championships. My brother Craig is a very successful
driver in the Midwest Enduro Series winning 2 races in his first year and
a half. His latest being at the Milwaukee Mile! He races against 40 plus
cars for as many as 300 laps. I also have a cousin who races at Slinger
in the super model late division (Tommy Pecaro).
This series is such a blast to
race! Very clean racing and a lot of willingness from all of the
competitors to help each other out in the pits. Very inexpensive when
compared to other types of racing. You can find used cars, race ready
from $2500 on up. Your tires last a very long time, we only bought 3 last
year. We run regular gas in it, we don’t use the high dollar racing fuel. If
you are at all interested please contact the Webmaster Wally Reitz, He is
also our vice president.
Jeff was involved in the NASCAR
Winston All Pro Series for over 30 years, both as a driver and as an
owner. Jeff was friends with very well know Indy car driver Stan Fox.
They attended Saint John's Military Academy together when they were
teenagers and kept in touch until Stan's tragic death.
