Racing in North Carolina

We left the truck and trailer in Charlotte, NC after racing last Saturday night and flew home so Andrew could start 5th grade. He had a great first week in school, but the race track was calling. Friday afternoon we flew back to Charlotte for this weekends racing at Wilkesboro Raceway Park.

E. Lowe met up with us after spending a week visiting family and friends. We were up against the Thriller jet dragster and scheduled to make three passes. We pulled into the track and unloaded the car. Okay, so I went over and talked to Dustin and Terry and the guys unloaded the car. After we set everything up it was time for the gates to open. We were expecting Embry-Riddle representatives from our North Carolina World Campus. Mark and his sons came out to cheer on the good ole ERAU car.

The car ran well, and we always have fun running with the Rosburg crew. After the race we threw some hot dogs on the grill and told BIG stories. We are racing in Columbus, OH next weekend, so we left the rig in Charlotte again and flew home. Four days to get caught up and back on the road. Some of my family is coming out to see us, so it should be a fun Labor Day weekend.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and said HI at the track. We will see you on the road.
