Mason has raced twice since I last posted. He did well in both races as he ended up in 4th and 5th places. Last night was a little rough going but we made it through. There was one mud puddle and Mason hit it during practice. We cleaned him and the kart up as they both were completely covered in 1in think greasy mud. He went back out for more practice and hit the puddle again. This time his dad was hot! He was hitting it because he likes to run on the bottom of the track. He made it through his first race but during the second race he got loose and hit the damn puddle for a third time. This time he hurt himself though and it truly wasn't his fault. He hit the steering wheel and knocked the wind out of him and bit his lip. Grandma Deloris made him stop racing so she could check him out, which dad wasn't too thrilled about. I was glad she did though because he was pretty sore. He went back out for his feature race and took 5th. They gave him his trophy and then...oops...he ran it over. It slipped out of his hand and his rear tire got it. He is driving pretty nice and making some really good moves when his is near the other racers. It's just a shame that he keeps getting out motored and we don't have the funds to get him an animal motor like the other racers are running. We will keep plugging away at it...
Rick hasn't raced since the Eastern Michigan Fair. He was all set to scrap his cars until he heard Grandma Ludwig really enjoys going and watching him race. Apparently she has gone to several of his races. He decided to keep one car and will run in North Branch if they have one in September. Rick realizes that Grandma won't be here forever and as long as it makes her happy he will race.
Poor Mason, he just couldn't get a break. He is doing so well, If everyone pitches in we might be able to get the funds for his new motor. Great going Mason.
ReplyDeleteAlso, glad Rick isn't going to throw in the towel. So sweet he is thinking of his Grandma.
