Sorry for the lack of pictures, but my camera is not good at action shots :) ...
This past weekend was Princeton and Viking (Alexandria) Speedways openers. Princeton was freezing cold, like almost to the point of unbearable. Shane finished 2nd in the A-mod, and 6th in the B-mod. This past winter he helped set up a fellow competitors B-mod, and he finished 4th. He was as happy as a kid in a candy store. Shane said that seeing him so happy felt just as good as winning! He also mentioned something about not giving away his "secrets" anymore if they're gonna keep beating him! ;) haha
Saturday was thankfully quite a bit warmer. Viking had a ton of cars for their opener night. Shane got a clean sweep with the B-mod (and yes starting on the pole helps at a track like that), and won the heat with his A-mod, and DNF'd in the feature. He got spun out and hit by another car, and broke his steering. The track (in my opinion) was a rail around the high side, and tough to pass. I know the results showed that quite a few drivers moved to the front from the back of the field, but with the infield pit area it is hard to see. I could only see the backstretch and there wasn't a whole lot of passing going on there. I think we may need to invest a double stacker hauler for me to stand on for my viewing pleasure! Believe me, it's the 2nd thing on my list after I win the powerball!!
Well, I wish everyone a great week, and am hoping for sun and warmth for the coming weekend! Brainerd and Golden Spike Openers this weekend!
