Kinross Blizzard 300
Again, the Bad Frog Team of Mike Babcock and Jim Kirts put together a good qualifying effort to start 4th for the Kinross Blizzard 300. Jim started the race and made his way to the front. Running 2nd at the 90 lap mark, the Bad Frog sled began to slow down forcing Jim to the pits. The Bad Frog crew of Bill Cryderman, Mike Williams, Tim Lockwood, Andy Kirts, Jake Gerow, Derek Gerow, and a host of others went to work trying to find the problem in the sled. They were able to finally get it running well enough to get Mike Babcock back out on the track under caution. Although they were noe down some 100 laps, Mike rode out the caution a prepared for the restart. When the green flag flew, Mike just couldn't get the sled to go. He finally pulled in to the pits and ended the day for the Bad Frog Team. The team ended up 12th overall.
