We typically don't do well in the various build up races that happen from Saturday till Thursday, and this year was no exception. We struggled by running just a tad under 7.90 in the index race (with .5 pro tree), the bracket race (red light), the $5k High Dollar race (tree'd), and the Fun Race (2nd round, broke out). But we were gathering valuable data.
Benjamin's head is no longer 4+ inches from the roll cage! While the car has a high cage and extended foot box, it's now too narrow - he'll need another car for next year. He's all broken up about it (not!).
Part of the deal here is to keep Danny occupied, at 7 years old this can be tough! So, I pretty much give/get him whatever he wants - as much italian ice, deep fried twinkies, orange Fanta, fans, Oakleys, ipads, water bounce park, bowling, then a day at Dollywood water park (had to drive right past Floyd's Museum (again!), and couldn't stop in [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img] ).
Playing 'heads or tails' with these new Oreo cookies, amazing how quickly they went through the entire pack!
