7-23-2012 Double Dose has been running pretty well since we started the season out. We have gotten a win and several 2nds and 3rds so far. We missed a region 2 pull last night @ Mount Vernon Ohio due to transmission problems in the hauler. Hoping to be back together and ready for Ionia Mi. on Friday

10-29-2011 With the season now over,Doubledose Plus One did end up wimming the Wolverine points title and also the HSTPA points title. I have gotten the tractor preped and ready for storage for a few months and trying to put a plan together for what changes I want to make for next year. Here is the reason the tractor gets put in storage for a couple of months, My other hobby takes over:
9-25-2011 With the season almost over, It has been a rough season for the Doubledose team. I put on a new set of the HP tires and have struggled most of the season getting them to work. After many runs down the track and bouncing bad, we had many runs that we could not get 200 feet down the track. After trying many combinations of tire presures, we started looking at other things. One big thing I found was that my clutch setup was not adequate for the HP tires. After rebuilding all 3 cluctch's and making drastic changes from my old way of setting them up in mid August, I have helped the bouncing problem by 90%. I still need to work on other things to help the bounce on the hard tracks.
3-21-2011 Brand new look for the Krider Racing website. I decided it was time to do a complete make over of the web site since it has not had a major make over since I started it. If you have any trouble with this site Please E-mail me with the problem

on Christmas lights for this winter. Just got my first batch, 6000 led icicle lights. Since I hang these on pvc pipe I can go ahead and put these on now. Then when I go to put them up, I just hang the pvc pipe on the hooks I have up on the peaks.
7-6-2013***** Website has had a major update to bring it up to date including new videos from 2012 season.
4-22-2013 ****** For the first time in 34 years Doubledose Plus One will not be running this season. After taking a bad ride at the Enderle Pull Off in September I was told on April 8th that I had tore the musle loose from the bone and needed surgery to reattach it. So not being able to get in to get it done untill the first week of May and a 3 month recovery period, I have decided to sit out this season. I think this will be a boring summer. I will get to some of the pulls to watch and visit. *****
February 2014, Doubledose is looking forward to being back out on the track and competing again.
After having another mri done in December the doctor told me that the shoulder looks like it has healed good. So as soon as the weather breaks here in Northern Indiana, we will start working on the Doubledose machine and get it ready for the 2014 season.
5-7-2015 I have decided to sit out this season and not run. I am going to build a new shop. As you can see from the photo below, I have a flodding issue that floods my shop with 5"-6" of water over the floor and it has taken its toll on the building after all of these years.
Due to recent developments in my neighborhood, the town has built a retension pond about 150 foot away from me. They have ran new storm lines onto my property to alleviate this problem you see below. So I have made the decision to sit out and get a new shop built. Current plans call for a new doubledose to be built this winter in the new shop!!
