The newest addition to the #35 crew & fan club
Caitlyn Jean Phillips joined the team as the #1 travel & free time coordinator on July 20, 2007


 

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.
