I am actually laying in bed typing this post. I am pooped. This traveling is really taking a toll on us. The trip went fairly uneventful, only one minor hiccup on the way down to Covington, IN. Good 'ol State cops sitting in the pouring rain on the freeway making drivers uneasy and brake checking. Things came to a stop really quickly in front of us and our rig isn't the smallest to get slowed down in a hurry. Thank goodness for the median. The good news is no one was hurt and our hearts all seem to work really well. Once we got through Michigan, the weather changed and was beautiful. It was the weather we had been hoping for. Every race so far has been high 90 degrees and scorching but this time it was low 80s and sunny. We went in to the race with good weather, a new set of tires and a good attitude. None of it really helped with our race results, however. Mason timed in his usual position for the series and no matter what adjustments we made, nothing seemed to help him gain. He looked great on the track and the kart handled wonderfully, he just flat our didn't have any speed. Mase tried and tried and after all said and done, ended up with an 8th place finish, his worst yet of the series. He was a bit upset but we assured him that he drove great and did what he could. All in all, once again, he made us proud and we know that our son has one of the best sportsman-like attitudes on the track, many of which can't say the same.
I need to go check our lottery tickets...
