The Eastern Michigan Fair's Bump-N-Run was last night. Rick didn't finish his heat due to a broken half shaft. He got hit by a car that he lapped. Oh well, same old story. What was interesting, however, was the fact that the counters called nearly every race wrong. Heat one was done and over and they named one driver the winner. A few minutes went by and they changed their minds, the winner was another driver. Heat three was clearly won by Joe Kirchoff #544, however, they say he didn't even come in 4th. I have the video to prove it! And you better believe I am going to bring this to their attention! Heat four was Rick's heat. Car #XXX was also in this heat and he got hung up on a jump and didn't appear to finish the race. Well, his wife argued for 40 minutes that the went too many laps and that he did finish the race and they once again changed their minds. It's this interesting? Did I mention he went on to win the Main? This is #XXX's third win in a row at this event. I'm so completely disgusted and Rick is even more so. He's seriously thinking about just leaving the car on the trailer and hauling it to the junk yard and calling it quits. If it's not the drivers messing the races up, it the officials and counters. All night long, the officials couldn't agree on which flag to throw. Half of them would be standing there holding green flags while the other half had red flags. Then when the race was done, the drivers didn't even know it was over because the officials just stood there. HELLO!!! You have red flags for a reason! Use them!!
Mason will be racing today at Arthur. Rick's working on his kart right now. I guess it's raining there as I write this but it's supposed to clear up. Keep your fingers crossed that he does well.
Happy Birthday to my Mother-in-Law today!
