Ogilvie Raceway had a special on Wednesday, so we headed there, where Shane ended up wrecking his midwest mod. He didn't fare so well in the A-mod either.. finished 6th in his heat and 6th in his b-feature, so didn't make the big show. Props to Buzzy Adams for leading the whole race, but WOW! was Clayton Wagamon on a mission! His B-feature was my favorite race of the night, with him making a last corner pass for the win! I'm not usually one to get worked up about a race, but that kid had me on my feet in anticipation!
My last post had pics of the same car damaged... but here's some more. :/ It needed a few repairs, so we had to dig the old car out of the shed for Willmar the next night.
The purple Affordable should be done by this week, and this car (the orange one) is for sale. Anyone wanna buy a racecar???
Thursday he won with the superstock and the midwest mod, and finished 3rd with the A-mod! Friday was (once again) rained out. We headed to Rumor's (the local bar/restaurant) for some grub and drinks and were home by 8:45pm. Shane and DJ were snoring by 9pm! The busy week had caught up with them!
Saturday we raced North Central in Brainerd, where Shane got wrecked in the mwm (geez, these past 2 weeks sound a little rough). It really isn't as bad as it sounds...He was battling for 2nd, and I guess both guys wanted the high side, so he ended up hitting the wall and DNF'ing. He finished 3rd in the A-mod and 6th in the super. Another guy who needs a congrats....Dave Read winning the Superstocks! Not often that I cheer outloud, but I was rootin for ya! It was long overdue, and I'm sure he'll be seeing victory lane a few more times this summer! Dan Ebert now has a bounty on him in the mwm's, for winning 2 or 3? times in a row. An extra bonus for anyone who can beat him... Which I'll tell ya...it ain't gonna be easy! :) That kid has been untouchable! (Not sure why I call everyone a kid...they are in their 20's for cryin out loud ;)
We stayed the night in Brainerd, and drove to Alexandria on Sunday, finishing the weekend with a 2nd place in the mwm, 4th in the super, and 5th in the A-mod. Monday we took a trip to the Como Zoo with the kids for the day, and spent the evening at a BBQ with the Princeton Peeps! T'was a great weekend!! :) And what's the best thing about a long weekend??... A short week! 2 days and we're back at it again!
Oh, and our funny little girl learned how to do the army crawl!! She got herself into here... :)
