Racing @ Muskogee & Creek County

Friday (6-3-11) we loaded up and headed to Muskogee to race. It was just Greg, Gma Jane, Brinley, and myself. Papa Gene had to work and Uncle Dan came up after he got off of work that evening. It was so hot but Brinley didn't even care. She wanted to be outside watching her daddy!

Greg did a great job.He finished 2nd in his heat race which started him on the outside of the 5th row (very last, 10th) in the feature. It didn't start out so good. He had a good car but wasn't going anywhere. There was a caution and thank goodness. After that her moved up to second and was running really good. on the last lap he hit the wall hard going into turn 4! I just knew he was done for, but he ended up finishing second! Way to go TEAM BURT. Greg said he went in to deep and just skidded across the loose dirt, when he hit it killed the car and he just stomped on it, got it going and hammered down!! Just like Greg!

We stayed at the track that night. I was very happy that we didnt' have to pack up and go somewhere else to camp. It is such a pain to move B when she is asleep!

Saturday (6-4-11) Brinley woke up early....6:45! I don't know what it is but she never sleeps late when we are on the road! So we all go up to eat breakfast. Brinley eats her breakfast and thinks she still needs to have wheat everyone else is having. Uncle Dan was kind enough to share his cereal with her!

The boys got up to work on the car and discovered that the A frame was broken from hitting the wall so we headed into town to find someone to weld it. After we got back Gma Jane, Brinley and I headed to some antique/junk stores! We found some great things. A Radio Flyer Tricycle, a Little Tikes Tambourine, and a Checkered Cross!!

After finishing the car we loaded up and headed to Creek County which is in Kellyville, OK near Tulsa. Brin enjoyed playing on her new trike while the boys got the car unloaded. She didn't like the tassels on the handle bars so she pulled them out! She is so particular and independent!!

I like this track, I'm not sure why but I do. Greg did ok in the heat race. He got together with another car coming down the front stretch. Nothing but just some contact racing. After the heat the drivers dad came over to talk to Greg. The kid was 14 and he wanted to Greg to take it easy on him. HA HA....don't get in the car if you can't handle it!

I don't remember where Greg started in the feature but that doesn't really matter because he was taken out on the first lap by the 14 year old whom he was supposed to take it easy on! Needless to say Greg was not happy, and karma is a B!
