This section of our web page is dedicated to current activities of the race team. 

2006 - 2008

The boat was nearly destroyed in 2006 in Waterford, Michigan.  Sho nuff was restored by expert boat builder John Jenkins.

2009

John Jenkins completed repairs to Sho nuff and she returned to competition in 2009.  The boat ran a few races in the Mid West as a focused season of Three Quarter Midget car racing prevented further participation.  A few double duty weekends occurred where racing of the car and boat happened on the same weekend.

2010

Hydroplane Racing in New Zealand

John competed in hydroplane races near Auckland, New Zealand on February 6 & 7, 2010 by invitation of the New Zealand Power Boat Association.  The World Championship event was sanctioned by the Union of International Motorboating, Belgium.  Also in February, John traveled from New Zealand to Sydney, Australia. 

TQ Midget Car Racing

In 2010, John Shewbrooks Racing will continue to field a three quarter midget race car in United Midget Racing Association competition.  The car will race out of the shop of Fred Steed in Milroy, Indiana.  Fred will provide all maintenance and race team management in John’s absence.  Jonathon Steed is scheduled to drive the car as a UMRA Rookie of the Year contender.
