Rainy Daze



Sorry Matt, I stole your picture off your myspace, and it didn't work the greatest! :)


Thursday was Willmar, where Shane finished 2nd in the mwm feature behind #11w -Matt Wiesman. This was his first win since '07, and we were very excited for him and his crew! It was a long time coming, as he's been finishing 2nd alot, and putting up some good battles for the lead this year! In the modified feature he ended up getting a flat tire, so did not finish the race.

Friday was Sauk Centre where he was running 2nd in the mwm, and all of a sudden a big cloud of smoke came out. Initially I thought it was the engine or tranny, but it turned out to be the J-bar bolt broke, so the tire was rubbing on something, and that was the smoke I saw. In the A-mod Shane finished 2nd behind Jason Voigt!


Saturday is normally Brainerd, but they cancelled due to rain, so we drove to Ogilvie, and sat there in the rain, until they finally decided to cancel as well! So we hit up the big town of Rice, for their annually street band, and bar activities! It was a fun night, but probably should've opted for bed before 5am. Mason got home around 9am, and we basically watched movies and slept all day while Shane worked on his cars. Don't ask me how there could be work to do, when you didn't even race the night prior. But I guess there's always a little something to look over.


Sunday was the spike, and they got so much rain, the track was in pretty rough shape for the heats... Cars were bouncing everywhere. They bladed it for the feature, so it was a little smoother, but still cars were crashing everywhere. Shane luckily made through all of the wrecks with minor sheet metal damage, and ended up winning the feature!
