While we were waiting to watch the kids race, we got news that Wes Gutierrez (their old team mate) flipped the Midget that he was driving in Bloomington, IN. They took him to the hospital and they ran a CAT scan and said he would be okay and they needed to watch him for 48 hrs to make sure everything is okay. With that kind of news, it just drives you crazy to know that these kids are in dangerous situations all the time. We were very happy to hear that Wes is okay.
Back to our race night at Plaza Park Raceway. There was a good car count with 33 cars in the Super 600 class. Raio qualified 10th and TJ qualified 16th. They ran in separate heats, Thank God. I don't like when they run the same Heat race, it's hard enough to watch them both in the Main. TJ started on the pole for his heat race and stayed there for 8 laps to the finish and was 1st place at the checker flag. Raio started 2nd in her heat race and finished 3rd so both of them transferred to the Main Event. Raio started 8th in the Main and TJ started 14th. They were both doing good and moving up and Raio stayed up towards the front and TJ started going towards the back. Raio finished 6th at the Checker flag and TJ ended up around 19th, not a great finish but car is still in one piece so they can race in Lemoore tomorrow night.
