Fischle Family Racing"We are a family who believes you can be competitive and have fun racing at the same time. All of our boys have been raised around drag racing, and when we race, we always race as a team. We support and practice the fundamentals of good sportsmanship at all times.

LukeTracy became interested in drag racing in his early teens, and has loved it ever since. Tracy, currently the crew chief for all the cars, retired the Super Comp Dragster to Eddie in 1998, when Eddie was old enough to be licensed. Tracy has had quite a successful time racing himself: In 1994 he was Track Champion at Los Angeles County Raceway, in 1997 was awarded Sportsman of the Year, and in 2001 Tracy was awarded crew chief of the year in the jr. and super comp association clubs. In 1997 and 2003, the Fischle Race Team was awarded Best Appearing Crew. Dawn is team mom and professional spectator, and has been married to Tracy since 1978.

In 2006 a fellow racer and a great friend of the Fischle Family, Andy Robles, passed away from complications of diabetes. Andy's passing gave birth to the yearly do-not-miss racing event at Auto Club Dragway at California Speedway. Tracy and Dawn created the Andy Robles Memorial Jr. Dragster Shootout with all proceeds from the event donated to the American Diabetes Association in Andy's name. Eddie, now 28, was involved in Jr. drag racing since the program was created. Eddie was licensed in our Super Comp car in 1998, and participated in both Jr. drag racing and Super Comp racing for the two years, before he retired from Jr. Drag Racing in 2000. Eddie continues to race the Super Comp car. Brian and Matthew were also raised through the N.H.R.A. Jr. Dragster program for 11 years. They both successfully raced their Jr. dragsters from the age of 8 to 18. At 16 they licensed in the family Super Comp dragsters.

The 2011 Seasons Begins!

We began this season at Auto Club Dragway, January 29-30th racing both Super Comp and Super Eliminator. On February 24-27th, we had both Lucas Oil Products/CANIDAE Pet Foods Super Comp Dragsters entered in the Kragen O' Reilly Auto Parts NHRA Winternationals at Pomona, CA. The following month on March 5th, we displayed and promoted CANIDAE's great products at the Grand Opening of the Kragen O' Reilly Auto Parts store in Temecula, CA. Later that month in Corona we displayed for Lube Pit Stop at the request of Lucas Oil Products, and showcased the CANIDAE line while distributing CANIDAE flyers and Responsible Pet Ownership wristbands. The crowds loved it!
