Wissota 100

This past week we attended the Wissota 100 out in Huron, SD.  The place is nice, but man that's a haul! Well, I slept the whole way, so I shouldn't complain :)  Mason stayed with my sister, so it got to be a long time away from him :(  It was probably a good thing he didn't go, being the races went so late.  And could you imagine him playing in this mud puddle?!....

It started raining midway through practice on Tuesday evening, and kept raining ALL of Wednesday.  They did a good job of cleaning the place up on Thursday morning.

The A-mod had 'issues' all week long... The first night out he made a half a lap, and the car quit (the coil, I think), the next night out he was leading his heat, and the axle broke.  And the final chance at making it to the big show....well, the car was junk and he went backwards.  So, the A-mod did not make the big show.

The midwest mod did very well, taking 2nd in his heat to qualify for Saturday's big show, where he started 19th and finished 4th!! Shane also won the Race of Champions on Friday night!  He was also in the Race of Champions with the A-mod where he finished 6th with the 9m machine! Thanks Dale for the opportunity to drive your car!! I didn't care where he finished, as long as it came off the track in one piece!

The superstock also was a success... Winning his heat and finishing 3rd in the qualifying feature, which put him outside the front row for the big show! He ended up finishing 2nd in the main event!

Mason was glad to be home, and so was I (well, only the seeing Mason part and having a king size bed--- the back to work I could live without)!  We rode 4-wheeler, raced his new toy cars, watched the vikings (well, him and Shane did while I napped), then headed to bed at 8:30pm!
