Long post, but it’s good! 😂
Headed home from our “racecation” today. Had so much fun over the last 10 days. Started at Wabash Valley for the big cash summer bash & headed to Beech Bend Raceway Park last Monday.
Tuesday & Wednesday we attended This is Bracket Racing junior fest. It was a great time & June and I both learned a lot from the great instructors.
Then it was on to next gen nationals at beech bend! This event was really awesome, we will definitely be back to this one & you should add it to your calendar as well! 📆
Thursday was a fun “off day” we went to Beech Bend Park and Splash Lagoon that’s was included all weekend with our race entry! We enjoyed all the rides and the water park. ☀️ 💦 🎢 🎠
Friday, it was back to business. Racing for 75th anniversary NHRA Jr. Drag Racing League Wallys! Went a few rounds but the car was all over the place and we couldn’t figure out what was going on. Dad made some changes to the set up to see if we could get it where it needed to be. Super frustrating! We ended the day at the amusement park to ride rides.
Saturday, made my first time trial! .007 on the tree & dead on! We were excited to be back in business! 2nd time trial & just past the 60ft…
💥 car stopped on the track—no power. Unfortunately, the motor was toast & our weekend ended early.
We had so many people offer motors, cars, help etc. While the outcome was crappy, the amount of folks stepping up was incredible. Race family is just built different. I don’t know too many sports where your competitors want you to be able to compete that they offer their own parts. Special thanks to Powers family, Wray Family, Benda family, Wied Fam, Coonan crew, Antron Brown & Kris Rachford for the over the phone tech support. I know there were others as well who stopped, offered support & commiserated with us as well.
Looking forward to having the motor fixed & back on track quickly!!
Thanks to those who help support our race program!
