Just for You, Dad!






So, I'm late one day, and if it ain't Chris on my butt to get this thing updated, it's my dad! It must mean that we race too much if I have to go to Speednet to check how Shane did for the week. Wednesday was a Special at Brainerd, where they raced Late Models, streeters, and mods. Shane spun out in the heat to avoid hitting another car, and ended up getting a flat tire. In the feature, he also didn't finish, because of water in the distributor cap.

Thursday he raced Willmar, and finished 2nd behind Brandon Davis in the midwest mod. Awesome job, Brandon, as you are having a helluva year! Shane ended up with another DNF in the A-mod. There was a bad crash involving Jason Thoennes going straight on into the wall, and Shane's rearend bent when he also hit the wall, resulting in the tire rubbing on "something" and the tire going flat later in the race. Thankfully Jason was okay, as it looked pretty nasty!

Friday, we headed back to Sauk Centre, as it is a requirement, being that we are paid by the owner just to "show up":). (If you read 20/20, you will know why I say that....But in no way, shape or form is that true.) Shane won the A-mod feature and finished 2nd in the mwm feature behind Dan Ebert. Travis Saurer led most of the feature and looked very strong, until he experienced mechanical failure.

Saturday was back to Brainerd, where they had a stunt man drive his truck through a motorhome at intermission. This was Mason's favorite part of the whole weekend. He still tells his version of how "the truck crashhhed riiight into the hauler"! Shane broke in the mwm heat, so had to start last in the feature, but made it up to 4th from 23rd! He also ended up with a clean sweep in the A-mod.

Sunday it rained all day, so Spike was cancelled. We pretty much just relaxed for Father's Day and didn't do too much. Hope all you dads out there had a blessed Father's Day! And Lots of Love to My Dad!

The shirts we ordered 2 months ago have finally arrived. The top picture is the hoodies, the next 2 pictures are the front and back of the t-shirts, and long sleeve t's. Prices are $20 for T's, $25 for long sleeve, and $30 for the hoodies.
