Raio Practiced at Plaza Park and TJ raced at Kings Speedway
Well, it was one of those crazy nights when we had to be at 2 places at one time. Raio flew in to practice the Micro at Plaza Park Raceway she ran a few sessions and she was done, so then we were off to Hanford to watch TJ race at Kings Speedway. It was a good night, TJ started 7th in his Heat and Finished 3rd. That put him starting 10th in the Main Event. He was doing good and then he drove the car up to high in turn 3 and hit a rut that bounced his car everywhere and he stalled it. So he was put to the back of the pack, to 18th. Unfortunately he had some work to do to get back to the front and when the checker flag flew he had worked his way up to 6th place. Next weekend we will be back full force into the race season, Raio and TJ will be running the Micros on Friday and TJ will run the Sprint car on Saturday. Most people who are not familiar with racing do not understand why we do the things we do but it keeps us together as a family on weekends and we love it.

First Race of the Season in the 360 Non Wing
Well, our night started out a little rough TJ qualified and the car wasn't running right and they were working at a strong pace to get the car ready for the Heat race and he didn't make it in time for his heat. So he started in the back of the Main Event and the car was set up too tight so it just wasn't working for TJ, so when they threw a caution, TJ pulled in to let the crew fix the car. The green flag waved and TJ was going strong thru some cars and then there were some other issues and the checker flag was thrown and TJ was not where he wanted to be, but he held on and Finished the race.
TJs thoughts for the night: Wish the night went better but still had fun, glad to be back at the track with everyone and can't wait until the next race!!
My thoughts as a mom: My son and the car are in one piece, so all in all it was a good night.
