Home from racing :-)

Got home earlier today. Man we were pooped as we got to bed so late last night. Well gosh it was really this AM.
Anyway we had a nice weekend. I always love to go to the Texas Grand as there is so many cars there. I think this year was the most we have seen. The Dwarf cars alone had over 30 cars! What a busy weekend though for the guys and exciting too. Several really good crashes! Yikes...but thankfully all the guys were ok. Brice (young friend of ours who we really enjoy) rolled his car like 4 or 5 times. I started to see him go over and took off looking for the girl who came with him and then wanted to make sure where his mom was. He is fairly new to racing and his mom was a nervous wreck. (Brice is only 20) Luckily he was fine...his poor car though :-(
Joe did fairly well. In his first heat race he took 2, then he had to do another one and he WON!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the A Main feature race he took a 10th out of 26 (I think) He would of gotten better but the guys were having issues with their gas and Joe's kept slowing down then going fast. Several guys even ran out of gas. 30 laps plus who knows how many caution laps is way too many for the little dwarf cars. He had a GREAT time and seems to be feeling almost his old self :-)
Here is a few pictures I took:

We had a TON of rain the first night. Joe was trying to sweep some of the puddles out of the area


Joe helping Brad to get his car set up a tad better (he is a new driver)
