We race tomorrow...already?!

Wow, today is already Wednesday, so I might have a hard time remembering results right....If you wanna check my accuracy, go to speednetdirect.com (find KRA, Princeton, & North Central) :)  I could, but I'll trust my memory for the time being!   I won't even attempt heat race finishes...

Thursday was racing at KRA Speedway in Willmar, MN where Shane won the midwest mod feature! Thankfully for us, he started outside front row, and there were no cautions...Cause the hard charging "medford monster" was coming :)  Shane finished 2nd in the A-mod after running 4th most of the race, but passed 2 guys right at the checkers.  The announcer announced Shane got 2nd, then in the tech shed, they said he was 3rd, but then he was paid for 2nd... That's how close it was! 



Friday was racing in Princeton where Shane won the midwest mod feature!  In the A-mod he was running 5th much of the time, until he flew over the edge of corner 3-4, and when he came back on the track he fell back to 9th... Which is where he finished.

Saturday we raced at North Central Speedway in Brainerd, MN where Shane won the midwest mod feature, and finished 2nd in the A-mod.  He took 2nd to Don Eischens in the 9E, who also was Thursday's winner at Willmar. 

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.... Well, a week prior we had planned on racing Alexandria, but Shane just got new tires, and being that Alex track eats your tires like their cookies, he opted to go to Proctor instead (or so I thought).  But when I mentioned to him (20 minutes prior to the bus leaving) that his Grandpa Bill might ride with us to Proctor, he informed me that we were no longer going there, we were going to go to Rice Lake, Wisconsin instead.  There really was no reason as to why he changed his mind, but regardless, it turned out to be the wrong choice!  We drove there, unloaded, and the rain started!  We waited it out a while, but it just didn't let up, so they were forced to cancel!


Mason slipped in the mud...
Oh, and did I mention the trailer tire blew on the way there?!
On the plus side... the cars are ready to go for this coming weekend (tomorrow already)! 

Hangin out at Willmar.... And tomorrow is their "bike-mania giveaway".  They are giving away 50 kids bikes! I think I'll secretly put Mason's name in, and ignore the bike giveaway all together... hoping to avoid a repeat of Brainerd's Kids Night
