Shoulda Stayed Home

8-27-11

Greg decided that he would race in Lawton this weekend. So Saturday morning we got everything around to head out. When I got B up and dressed, she immediately brought me her shoes and said "Daddy!" She knew he was in the shop and she wanted to go out there. So out we went. She even helped load the race car! Greg started it up while she was in there and she loved it!

My fav picture to date

They say bad things happen in sets of threes. It's true. On the way down to Lawton we had a blowout on the trailer! (Bad thing #1) It was super hot but the guys got it changed and we were on our way again. When we got to Lawton B just chilled until it was time to watch Dad race.

B got to watch Greg hot lap and then headed to bed. He started pole (1st) in the heat and won it. That's about the only good thing that happened on this trip. Because while we were waiting around for his feature to start the generator on the truck quit on us! (Bad thing #2) The guys tried to work on it but had no luck!

Greg started pole in the feature which is usually a good thing....not this night! The track was rough and everyone was driving crazy. Greg broke his drive shaft and had a DNF (Did Not Finish). (Bad thing #3) Pretty sure he would have won...but life goes on! We loaded up and headed home. It was a hot ride home because the generator had broke the A/C in the back of the truck wouldn't work. Thank goodness B slept all the way home!

B enjoyed scraping mud off dads car after his hot laps before she had to go to bed! She is such a big helper!

B really loves going racing and hanging with Dad and Uncle Dan!

Bad things definitely happen in threes:

1. Blow out on the trailer!

2. Generator quit!

3. Broke the drive shaft on the race car!

Hopefully we can get it all fixed before we race in Texas!
