Mighty Axe Nationals

Friday was the conclusion of racing at Princeton Speedway where Shane finished 2nd in the MWM, 10th in the A-mod, and 7th in the Superstock.  Not surprisingly, today I've had more hits than usual on this webpage. :)  Sorry to disappoint but I'm choosing not to go into depth about the engine claim that took place.  It's clearly in the rules, we've been warned for 2 years that it would eventually happen, and nowhere in the rules does it state what type of motive or intention has to be behind your actions.  And to look for the postive in a situation, the following night's heat race showed just how much support we have from such great fans/friends as the crowd was on their feet applauding after Shane won his heat!

The remainder of the weekend was spent camped out at NCS in Brainerd, MN for their annual mighty axe nationals, and the RaceMN show on Monday... Saturday he DNF'd in the midwest mod feature while leading (something broke in the right front-likely as a result from the rough track).  He won the Golden Axe with the Superstock and finish 3rd with the A-mod!


Sunday was night 2 of the mighty axe, where he finished 4th in the MWM, won another Axe with the Superstock, and finished 3rd in the A-mod.


Monday started out with a makeup feature for the A-mods that was post-poned from the night of the accident back in June.  Shane ended up winning the feature!! He finished 3rd in the midwest mod, and the regular scheduled A-mod feature was cancelled due to rain.

And I did have my camera along, but the battery pack thing was dead.  Thankfully there's a wonderful photographer there who let me use some of her pics.  Check out Vivian's website at http://www.vividcreationsmn.com/ for more racing photos!
