Rain & Shine


 
Thursday was racing in Willmar, along with their bike giveaway!  Thankfully Mason was content with just holding the ticket in his hand.  It must have been similar to a lottery ticket....As long as you haven't checked the winning numbers, there's still a chance you could be a winner!  I checked the numbers and he did not win, but he didn't seem to really care.  Shane had an excellent night, getting the feature win in both the A-mod and the B-mod!  He tried to give his A-mod trophy to a little boy out on the front stretch, but the boy didn't take it.  Shane's sister and I sat in the stands and joked that the kid didn't like Shane.  Turns out he didn't think Shane was serious....Like why would a driver give away his trophy?! ;)  Later he, his brother, and his mom came over to the pits and were very thankful that each recieved a trophy!!

Friday, we raced at Princeton again, and finished 3rd with the A-mod and 5th with the B-mod.  After the race we camped out at Shane's cousins house, and headed to Brainerd from there.  Unfortunately it rained most of the morning & afternoon, but Mason had fun having a squirt gun fight with his cousin, Skyeler!  About the time we had to load up to leave, the sky cleared, and Mason & Ron built a fire to make some smores for dessert...although we never did make them :(



Brainerd started out sunny and beautiful, but it turned out the rain was still lingering around.  We got in all the heats, and then the rain started.  The track was forced to cancel the show, and the features will be made up next week.... Or as Mason refers to it: "Dad gets to race 6 times next time!"  Geez, that's 86 laps around North Central Speedway in one night!
