In the spring of 2005 Billy's #94 Late Model was to race at the Chemung Speed Drome, but after just one race at the track destruction fell upon Bill's garage at his home. Bill had an electrical fire right in the middle of the garage, which destroyed EVERYTHING! The fire not only destroyed the garage, but also destroyed 3 race cars, damaged the enclosed car hauler. 2 race motors, and basically everything that was need to race with. All a total loss! The season was done for the team. Over the summer Bill spent most of his time battling with the insurance company to get some kind of settlement so he can rebuild and get on with, basically his life. Bill had help with the clean up from his team, his freinds and his co-workers. None of this work could have been done without their help. Bill Thanks every one of them for their time and encouragement.

Finally towards the end of the summer some insurance money came through. The #94 Team also put on a chicken BBQ, which introduced a key member of the New #94 Team, Jim Mcallum. It seams Jim and his wife Judy are drawn to anything racing (I think the great tasting chicken helped to).
