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.
