Saturday 6/7...

Given that it is June, it should have been sunny this past weekend...right? Not a chance! Its Junuary! We were all bundled up in long johns, jackets, hats and gloves at the race track. It was a cold, wet and slippery night. Mike qualified 8th fast and we only got a 4 car invert for the main, which means he started 8th. He got stuck behind some slower cars and just as he was making his way to the front, got plowed from behind and then from the front by the same car. He made it back out on the track after a quick pit stop (minus some body parts) and ended up 9th. Still in the running for the Championship - only 15 points behind 1st. He will get back up there. Next race is June 21st and Dino Rossi will be out throwing the flag! Hopefully the weather will start cooperating and we won't have to thaw out after the race!

Saturday 5/31...

Me doing all the work...what gives?Well, we ALMOST got our first win this past weekend. Mike raced so hard and held the lead for the entire second half of the race until the very last lap...so close! He said it was the most intense race he has ever been in. We truly have never been disappointed with 2nd place, but it was definitely a let down when he was so close to winning his first race and it was taken away. We will get 'em next time!

Unfortunately, Jeff didn't come out of the race as lucky. He was involved in a race ending wreck and had to be towed off. Hopefully his car will be up and running again in the next couple of weeks.

After the race we headed down to PIR to watch Rob race on Sunday...very exciting. He took the lead right off the start but spun out in the first turn. It was fun to watch him fly by everybody after that. Think he ended up with 4th place.

Memorial Day Weekend at Sunland...

We had a great time on our weekend off from racing with Luke, Jess, Mia and Nolan in Sunland. We always love it there and its usually sunny! We had great weather sunny and hot...of course its always hard to leave.

Saturday 5/17...

It was a hot one!
Ever-consistent, Mike took 1st in his heat race and 3rd in the main. Thats 4 top threes in a row! We are still going for that first win...theres going to be a party when we get it and you're all invited! Check out the new sponsor...



Oh yeah...and the track randomly chose Mike's motor to pull and tech this week so we had a pizza party at the track after the race and pulled the motor out. Got the motor back Wednesday...everything checked out.

It was another exciting day at Evergreen Speedway! We were sprinkled on a few times throughout the day, but luckily it never poured on us and Mike was able to race. He took 1st (thats right - 1st place) in his heat race!!!! It was SO exciting. The main started off rough and I have never been so nervous watching a race, but it ended with Mike getting 3rd! He has had an excellent season so far - just needs to keep it up!

Saturday 5/3...

It rained and rained on Saturday....but we finally took the cars into the track at 6 PM. We weren't sure if we were going to race at all because the track was wet and the sky was dark. Mike went out for the first heat race and took 2nd and then it was time for the main event. He started on the inside of the third row (5th) and ended up getting another 2nd place finish. It was quite a night!
