This past weekend was suppose to be KRA Speedway (Willmar)'s opener, and the radar looked iffy all day, but still we decided to make the drive; only to have it cancel before we got out of the truck! Friday was also rained out (pretty much every track in a 200 mile radius was)!
Saturday was racing in Brainerd! There were alot of tracks in the area cancelling because of the cold, or just too wet from all the prior rain; but North Central Speedway has some diehard workers, drivers, and fans, and the attendance was well above average. Shane won both heats, and was scheduled to start front row with both cars... Unfortunately, his luck ran out with both cars before 1 lap of the feature was completed. The B-mod got a flat tire, and the A-mod broke a suspension compotent (slider). On a more positive note, Tom Gill won the midwest mod feature!!! It was pretty exciting...just ask the guy who sat next to me!
Sunday, Shane and his dad put their cars in the trailer, and headed to Bemidji. They don't run A-mods, so the trailer had room for 1 more car, and why not split the cost of fuel, if you can?! Tom (shane's dad) races a mod-4, and had his best ever finish (to my knowledge), winning the heat, and getting 2nd in his feature!! Shane won his heat as well, and got 3rd in his feature. Dan Ebert won the feature, marking his first win of the season! Thanks to Christina (Dan's girlfriend), I got play-by-play results via text, as the race was going on!! I felt as if I was there, but instead spent the afternoon/evening with just Mason and I. We napped, went out to dinner, and rented a couple movies...Pretty much relaxed all day, which is the way Mother's Day should be!!
The weather this coming weekend is 'suppose' to be beautiful, and by next Wednesday (ya, like 9 days away:) is calling for a high of 83 degrees! I can't wait!!!
