Sorry so late!

Sorry I didn't post anything last weekend (June 10-12), we didn't do a whole of racing, except for Friday.  And the rest of the weekend we drove around truck shopping.  Since Shane traded his dually for the hauler, he was in need of a pick-up for plowing in the winter, and finally we found one in Litchfield, and went to get in on Sunday.  It's nothing special, but it'll get the job done!!

This weekend was beautiful weather all weekend, and we got 4 nights of racing in! We were actually suppose to have 5, but Tuesday's special rained out.  Wednesday was a special at Brainerd, where Shane finished 2nd in the MWM, and the feature for the A-mod will be made up at a later date due a horrible accident that ended the night.  If you haven't heard, there was a bad crash that sent 3 people to the hospital via helicopters. It was so scary (and sad) to witness, and really makes you realize that this sport can be very dangerous. Thankfully we have heard awesome news from 2 of the victims, but the 3rd is still not in the clear, and may not be for some time. You can read his story by clicking here .  Please keep Keith Nelson and his family in your prayers.  Mason was drawn for junior fan for the mwm, so got a trophy and his pic with the winner (Dustin Scott).

And with Axel, of course!

Thursday was racing Willmar, where Shane won with the Midwest mod, and finished 7th with the A-mod.  Friday was Princeton, where he finished 4th with the A-mod and 17th in the Midwest mod.

The boys hanging out!

I watch Tom's son during the week, and Friday night Mason would not leave Tom's side...so I joked that I probably owe him a free week of daycare for all the trouble!

Never say you're not strong enough... With a little leverage and body weight, he got it!  Edit:  I guess it's hard to tell in the picture, but he was jacking the car up, and it took alot of muscle. So he would hang on the jack handle and put his feet on the front bumper!

Saturday was an interesting night. I just wasn't in the racing mood with the tragedy that happened at North Central Speedway in Brainerd just 3 days prior. But the track had a nice tribute for the victims at intermission, and racing went as usual. We had make-up features from a rain-out a few weeks prior, and Shane ended up winning all 4 features (the midwest mod & mod make-up, and the regular scheduled nights midwest & mod feature). Obviously this was a first for Shane, being that it is pretty rare to even have make-up features. But the night turned out to be a success, and almost unbelievable! And check your "All the Dirt" newspaper, even Mason made the cover! He was pretty excited when I showed him!

This week is racing at Ogilvie tonight (Tuesday) for the RACEMN series, then Wed. off, and back to racing on Thursday again for the weekend.  Have a great week!
