Rev'd up Racing!

We had a nice long (ok way too short) weekend of racing. Saturday Rick raced his late model in Yakima. Besided breaking a transmission during practice, he had a good night. His car was a ton better than it has been so he was excited to finally be moving in the right direction. He finished 6th in the main event. It was a good finish and the car still could be a lot better so thats the encouraging part. He was pleased...just tired!

This was actually from the weekend before but it at least gives you an idea of the field of cars. I stole these pics from Kevin's blog.

This is all I have heard about since Saturday night. Everyone standing back thought it was the funniest thing to see all these bodies laying under the car checking everything out. Left to right you got, Rick, Longton, Langley, Andy and on the other side was Steve. They were REALLY interested in Rick's rearend...poor guys :-)

It was a late night at the big track and then an early morning off to the kart track. Kaitlyn's motor blew up, big time. No fixing this one. Tracy so nicely loaned us their back-up again. Kaitlyn had fast time and won the heat race and had the best main event run she has ever had. She finished 2nd but it was so exciting and she did sooooo good. Trace went off the track and kicked off his chain so Rick had to spend a few laps putting it back on. I think he finished 6th.

Seriously he is clean sometimes...not very often but sometimes we do see him without dirt on his face!

She REALLY likes to stick her tongue out at everyone all the time. I think she thinks she is cute or something...

The kids have one more weekend of racing left and I think Rick is done for the season. He got to at least say he raced this season and has a whole winter to stare at a car that is 100% ready to race next year. I'm not sure that has ever happened before.
