Harvest Cup Weekend

Regular weekly racing has come to an end, and from Labor Day on, is weekend specials (or week long, as is the case this coming week).  This past weekend was racing at Ogilvie Raceway for their annual Harvest Cup.  It wasn't the best finishes, but it was an improvement compared to how he normally finishes there!  Shane has never done all that well at Ogilvie...Not sure if he just can't figure out how to set the car up for that track, or if he needs to change how he drives there, or maybe just more laps around it would help! But anyway...typically he goes backwards in the feature, so it was a nice change to actually move forward (or hold about the same position)!! It is good to make progress!!

Friday night he finished 4th with the mwm, 8th with the super, and 10th with the A-mod.  Saturday he finished 2nd with the mwm, 3rd in the super, and 11th with the A-mod. 

Mason and Braelyn both like helping on the cars now!!  Mason puts the axel caps back on, and Brae's favorite thing to do is to put lug-nuts in her mouth & play in the tire grinding dust...both YUCK! 

This week we will be going to Huron, SD for the Wissota 100.  It's always a good time, but not too excited for the 5 hour drive...Oh, wait!.. a 5 hour nap...I can handle that!! The kids will be staying with my parents and sisters, because late nights and B's 7 o'clock wake up call make for a long day!  It's not unusual for racing to go from 5pm til midnight, and my kids don't even like watching the races.  They love to go with (play in the dirt & run around on the wheeler), but watching...not so much. Braelyn hates her earmuffs and won't leave them on, and Mason is always "boorrreedd" and wants to go back to the trailer!

On another note, Brae had tubes put in her ears a couple weeks ago, and as we IMPATIENTLY waited in our room, I decided to walk the halls (hoping to get her mind off of wanting a bottle/food, since you can't have anything after midnight).  As we were walking back I noticed what room we were in.......

Kinda funny!!
