HE DID IT!

Mason is officially the 2011 Arthur Raceway Purple Plate Alcohol Champion. He made it look easy this past Saturday at the race track. He went out and won 3 of the 4 races. His point lead over 2nd place ended up to be by 21 points. We are looking forward to the Arthur Raceway Banquet in November where he and all the other drivers will be honored with their accomplishments. We are so proud of him! He is equally proud of himself too. He was twirling and spinning and just so full of excitement and joy after the race was over. They did end up teching our motor but it passed with flying colors.

Now we have some things to think about and some more money to spend. We need to decide what class to put him in next season and refresh his engine. He's also going to need a new body and other odds and ends.

CAN'T CELEBRATE YET

Well we were hoping to come home from this past Saturday's race knowing Mase had the championship wrapped up. He ended up coming in 4th place. Rick (setup), Mason (driving) and myself (everything else) really need to work on better finishes and set ups for poor track conditions. We just don't seem to be able to pull off a 3rd or better finish when conditions are less than perfect. It will take some really bad luck for this next (and final) race for Mason to not win the championship. Still, until we are certain that he has won, we aren't going to celebrate.
