Friday the 13th: A weekend of racing

Meeker (5-13-11)

So as soon as I got home on Friday we headed to Meeker. I was a little worried about Greg racing that night because it was Friday the 13th!  But he proved me wrong. It was a little cold but that didn't stop B from wanting to be outside. This girl wants to be outside no matter what the weather is. She was all over the place and even got her dad to give her a ride on the 4-wheeler.

It is only a matter of time until she can hop on this thing and go by herself! Greg did great at Meeker! He was supposed to start 2nd row inside (3rd) of the heat race, but the car in front of him scratched (didn't start) so Greg started inside pole (1st) and got a win!

Greg started 2nd row outside (4th) in the feature and finished 2nd! Overall it was a good night for Team Burt! After the races were over we loaded up and headed into Shawnee to sleep for the night!

Ada (5-14-11)
We ended up staying in the Firelake Casino parking lot. It is so nice to have the toter! It would be such a hassle to get B to sleep at the track without it, but with the toter we put her to sleep at her normal bedtime and she is out for the night!
After waking up and getting around we just hung out until it was time to head to Ada. B slept on the way and was ready to get out when we got there. Greg's car had a little bit of body damage so Dan took the door off and got the rubber mallet out to straighten it, but Brinley took care of it for him!

She had a blast doing this and playing in the sand until it was her bedtime. Ada is the sandiest dirt track that I have ever been to and Brinley just sat and played in it. I think we will have to get her a sandbox! Greg has a great night here to! Last time Greg raced here he won and we were hoping to keep up the tradition!
He started 2nd row outside (4th) in the heat and finished 3rd. The 2nd place car held him up for quite a few laps and Greg just couldn't get around him. For the feature Greg was supposed to start fourth row inside (7th) but the two cars in front of him scratched so he started second row inside (3rd).
The race started off good. But after a few laps Greg went a little high coming out of turn 2 and  Olivia (car #11) got underneath him and tried to pass him on the back straightaway. Olivia didn't have Greg cleared and came up on him and cut down Greg's tire.

I was taping and didn't notice the flat. Not only did Greg finish out the race on a flat tire, but he got a WIN for Team Burt! Way to go Greg!
