Summer Fun







Finally, the heat is here! Last week the furnace was running, this week we need the AC! The daycare kids are enjoying being able to play outside all day, as do I! On Sunday, Sonja and I took the kids swimming for the day. It was such a beautiful day, and they had so much fun!
Thursday was racing at Willmar, and what was suppose to be a good battle between Shane and Brandon Davis "the Medford Monster"in the midwest mods, turned into an awesome battle with Nelson, Rihn, and Barber. As luck would have it, Shane and Davis both broke something in the left front, forcing them to a DNF. Still, this was one of the best races I've seen in quite some time! Shane finished 2nd in the modified behind Don Eischens.
Friday we went to Sauk Centre where Shane won in the mwm, and experienced some technical diffulty in the Mod. The fuel cell cap didn't get put on, so Shane was pouring fuel all over the race track. He pulled in, got it put back on, went back out in last place, and worked his way up to 4th. Congrats to Danny Bayer on his win, I think he had a half lap lead on 2nd place! :)
Saturday was a bit hectic with Brainerd cancelling late in the day. We ended up going to Ogilvie Raceway where Shane won with the mwm, and took 2nd behind Joey Jenson in the mods. Not sure if it was because they are a new facility or had to many new cars, but they seemed a bit unorganized. Lineups had no rhyme or reason to them, and it was a bit frustrating to some drivers. Shane also took a rock to the finger, so needs to go get it checked out today. Hopefully the track surface will come around, as it seems to be a very nice facility!
Sunday was Golden Spike with just the mwm, where Shane ended up 2nd behind Dan Ebert! Congrats Dan on both your wins this weekend! I hope everyone enjoys their week. Talk to you next Monday!
