Willmar's fair was in town, so they had racing on Wednesday, instead of Thursday. Shane won the feature with the Midwest mod, and finished 2nd in the Modified special, with Dave Cain taking home the $1,500 check!Thursday Shane went to Grand Rapids, and didn't fair too well. He ended up 5th in the mwm, with Dan Ebert winning the feature. I knew there was no hope when I got a text after Shane & Dan's heat race saying "Shane has nothin' for Ebert"! The gears broke in the A mod during the heat, so he wasn't able to race the feature.
Friday was mudfest at Sauk Centre! It misted from 6pm until, well, all flippin evening, but they continued to race. I have never put so many tear-off on a helmet in my life! Guys were wiping their shield with towels because of the rain coming down. Shane ended up 2nd in the mwm, behind Brandon Nelson, and only made it a couple laps in the mod, before he got a flat tire. Congrats to Ryan Canon and his crew on a nice win!
Saturday was Brainerd, where Shane ended up 3rd in the mwm, behind a very close battle to the line with Jamie Thorstad & Dan Ebert. The A-mod was just not working the way it has been, and Shane ended up getting passed by pretty much every car..LOL ;) Joey Jenson won the feature!
Sunday, the Spike was rained out from too much rain the previous days, so we headed to the demo derby at the fair, and relaxed the rest of the evening. Tuesday we took Mason to the 4-wheeler and dirt bike races at the fair, and hit up a few rides. Wednesday we checked out all the animals at the Willmar fair. Thursday, Mason went with his grammy and Papa to the pig races at the fair. Friday, uncle Paul took him to the truck pull. Saturday, auntie Heidi took him to the demo derby, and wow, does he love crashing! He prefers to see a good spin out, or crash at the races, than come home with a trophy, so I knew he'd enjoy the demo! Needless to say, he's more than likely 'faired' out! Thank Goodness they only come around once a year (those $9 ferris wheel rides will kill a girl's savings) ;)
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
