Working on Labor Day

Labor Day weekend was all about work, okay so maybe not so much work as racing. We spent the weekend in Columbus, OH racing for the NMRA. We left for the race on Thursday afternoon, flying out of Orlando into Charlotte, NC to pick up the truck and trailer. We hit the road and met up with Danny O'Day (Super Wench wheelstander). Danny had fixed one of our fuel tanks and did an amazing job. Thanks Danny. The next morning and we drove the rest of the way. We were excited for this event as I was meeting up with my sister and her family.

We were scheduled to do a display at Hooters on Friday evening. It went well and we packed up the car for race day. Saturday morning and it was very cool outside, but there was a lot of cars getting ready to make their first laps. We set up and started the day. I was scheduled to make two passes on Saturday and two on Sunday. The car ran well, and we packed up for the night.

We decided to go our for Japanese with my sisters family and our sponsor George from Syngery Coatings who also joined us for the weekend. The food was good but the chief was great. We all enjoyed a nice dinner and back to the room to get rest for the next day. Sunday morning and we are packing up and heading to the track. The car ran well again, and We had the opportunity to met some great fans. I was sad to see my sister leave, but we had to put some miles behind us so we could get home.

We spent one night and made it home about 7:30 on Monday evening in order to watch the US Nationals. We are now home for the next week and no race this weekend. It is time for a breather. The plan is to get everything caught up, and then we hit the road again for Atlanta, GA for a NMCA race.

Sparkplug is back in school, so it is homework at night and getting in bed early. Keep up with our schedule as we may be coming to a city near you.

See you on the road.
