To be honest, I don't feel like writing lately...If ya didn't notice, I missed last Monday too, and nobody gave me any grief..LOL! Well, results first...Thursday, KRA-Willmar finished 3rd with B-mod (Nate Barber has been on a roll lately), and 4th with the A-mod (Keith Tourville took home the $1,500 check)!
Friday was off to Viking Speedway in Alexandria for the 5th annual Minnesota Modified National! In this event they base your performance off of passing points, basically meaning whoever passes the most cars in their heat makes it into the main event, along with the heat winner. Shane started pole, so of course didn't have the opportunity to pass a single car. He had to win the heat, which didn't happen...Jason Thoennes passed him after a late race caution. Thus, Shane ran a B-main on Saturday and qualified through that. He started 20th in big show, and ended up 7th. CONGRATS TO DALE MATHISON ON TAKING HOME THE $7 G's!!!! They also raced midwest mods, where Shane finished 9th on both Friday and Saturday. He's been on a losing streak with the B-mod, but finally picked up a win on Sunday night at the Spike.
On to things other than racing....Fourth of July weekend was quite tragic for the Foley community. Kayla Lien (who I don't know personally, but know her older siblings) died from injuries resulting from an ATV accident. Shawn Pohlkamp (who I rode the school bus with) died from a tragic automobile accident. And Kim Blaisdell (who was a friend of mine since the 4th grade) is currently on life support, after she suffered a traumatic brain injury from a fall. She will be donating her organs later tonight, and joining her mom in heaven. Please keep Kim's young daughter, dad, brothers and sisters in your prayers, as well as all the families of these young adults. Life just doesn't seem fair sometimes, but cherish it while you have it......
