This week was pretty eventful (and relaxing at the same time)... We raced Willmar on Wednesday instead of Thursday this week because of their fair. Shane got a flat tire in the MWM feature, so was unable to finish the race. In the superstock, he finished 4th, and in the A-mod he finished 13th. If you've kept up on recent results, you've probably noticed Shane hasn't been doing as well as he had been weeks prior (including demolitioning the superstock). I heard someone mention to him on Wednesday (after the races) "Well, that wasn't a good night!" Shane replied with "It could've been worse!!" Just because someone expects better of him, doesn't mean he didn't give his all, or that he didn't enjoy doing what he does. Lots of drivers would love to have the finishes and stats that he has accumulated, so to gripe about a 10th or 14th place finish occassionally is rediculous! Things can always go better, and things can always go worse....Nothing ever stays the same!!
And on that note, Saturday proved just that....He took a clean sweep (won the heat & feature) in all 3 classes that he raced (midwest mod, superstock & A-mod)! I don't think that's been done before (mainly because driving 3 cars on one night is rare...almost to the point of crazy :) But it was a 'perfect' night!

That is all the racing we did this week, because Friday rained out -which we originally thought maybe we could go do something fun....well mother nature had other plans!! We spent the evening cleaning up the mess from the storm. Thanks to DJ, Chris & Genna for all your help!! It was very much appreciated!
Sunday we took in BIR (Brainerd International Raceway), which was a first for all of us. It was fun for something different to do, and everyone should probably experience it once in their lifetime... But it was too much walking for this prego lady (it probably doesn't help that I refuse to wear 'flat' shoes because I want to look a lil taller :) Oh, and if you go, make sure you go to the pits and stand right up front when they start one of the engines. That was unreal! I had no clue what to expect (other than knowing it was going to be loud). But right before they started it, a friend (Dave) said to me "it's going to be hard to breathe" I thought ok, me and mason will put our shirts over our nose/mouth like the guy next to us. Yeah right, after about 2 seconds we went running (heels and all), basically blind and choking!! It was pretty insane!
before they started it...
Mason just had to check this "mini" one out!
