Next Stop...Indiana

Saturday's races turned out good.  Mase finished 1st in the purple plate and 3rd in the gold. the competition is fierce in the gold class this year.  The competitors are all kids Mason has raced with in the past but they have their game plan figured out.  We are still struggling with the setup but we are confident we will get if figured out here shortly.   One thing that is getting old is the way the other families act at the track.  I am getting really fed up with all the negativity and rude behavior.  Rick and I have always said we just want Mason to be competitive, which he is at this point.  We leave the track happy in knowing we did all we could to try to win but never get mad at the ones that finish ahead of us.  That just means we have to try harder the following week.  I am really seeing the true faces of our competition gloat in our weakness and anger in our wins.  I hope I will be able to maintain my composure this season and keep my cool when it comes to their actions.  We will continue to be the better people for it.  Now onto more exciting news...we will be leaving Friday, May 18 for Ben Hur Kart Speedway in Indiana.  Mason will be racing in the Jr clone class of the Burris Thunder Tour.  This will be the first of a series of 5 races and once again, nationally recognized.  We are expecting to be more competitive at this tour as the equipment will be more of what we are used to.  As another bonus, we will have friends at the track that know what they are doing and will be able to help us in case of trouble.  :)  I will keep you posted!
