| It is with
great shock and the deepest respect that our racing family mourns the
loss of our fellow teammate, racer, and dear friend.
Lee Samuel Tindall 1970 - 2005 Brother, it has been nearly 3 years since we said goodbye, but we all still expect to turn and see you, sitting in the pits, wet with sweat, water bottle in hand, waiting for the team to get the bike ready for your next run. We miss your wit, and the uncommon love, respect, and kindness that flowed so naturally from you. The team

Pilot: Mark Wolniak
The NEW race bike built by teamSNARTracing!
She started life as a 1987 Suzuki GSXR 750 rolling chassis in Toronto, Ontario. She mysteriously found her way to North Carolina, where she was cut and stretched to make room for the Ironhead Sportster engine that we ran in "Kismet". We call this hybrid the "GSXL-R" and her track name is "Kismet Too" The entire team had a hand in the build, and we were helped along by our new friends at HOT ROD CYCLES in Gastonia. Pictured above is pilot Mark Wolniak (aka Mr. Clean) from Orlando, Florida
Favorite Quote!
"Some people will tell you that slow is good...and it may be, on some days...but I am here to tell you that fast is better. I've always believed this, in spite of the trouble it's caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba...."

Our Motto: To Compete in a sportsmanlike manner, keeping it fun, and to support our fellow racers, as has become the tradition on the Maxton Monster Mile!
We've been racing now for nearly 8 years, and for the most part, each bike owner has been responsible for the expenses of his bike. Several folks have helped out when the need was there, and our sponsors have been a huge help with parts at cost, or free. Our current build is a group effort, and the most expensive project thus far. If you'd like to make a donation to the team, feel free to do so via PayPal to the account of snal@bellsouth.net. Please include "snart" or "snartracing" as the product. We also have plans to offer t-shirts, koozies, and other products for sale here on the website, with all proceeds going towards team expenses. We'll have a "Store" page here soon, so please check back often, and tell your friends!
