Our SnoCross Hero ~ Dan Ebert.....



And Our Football Hero ~ Jared Allen (from the Vikes)

This weekend was the most fun I've had in a while! It was a wonderful change of pace, yet still on the lines of racing....so everyone was happy! Denis, Shane and I headed down to Canterbury Park in Shakopee, MN for the ISOC Nationals. Friday was practice and the Sledneck Invasion Tour. We got a hotel room, and attended Saturdays races as well! Russ & Joni Ebert invited us to pits, and wow are those rigs amazing! There is so much behind the scenes that race teams do, that you wouldn't even imagine. Dan won both his qualifying heats, and took 2nd in the Semi-Pro Stock main event, and won the Semi-Pro Open main event! Tucker Hibbert won both his qualifying heats in the Pro Classes and won both Pro Main Events ~ GO CATS!

We were having a ton of fun....reminiscing about when Shane used to race sleds, meeting new and old drivers, and watching the tricksters flip their snowmobile! Then, to top it off....we meet Jared Allen, a defensive end from the Minnesota Vikings!!! We're going down the escalator, and he is going up. Shane is staring, and Denis is kicking Shane in the leg..."that's Jared Allen"! So what do we do? We take the escalator back up and follow him! With our hearts pounding, we ask him if he would mind taking a picture with us, and he gladly said Yes! He was very friendly, and also, very tall! When we were bragging about getting our picture with him, not many people really thought of him as a celebrity, but he is one of Shane and Denis's favorite player, and I love his mullet!
