So, we were able to break away last Saturday and hit Numidia. The cold temps, 35mph headwind, and crazy sticky starting line (I walked out of one of my shoes!) wreaked havoc on us as we tried to figure out the new combo. Ben had decent lights, but the cars were running slow - folks were dumping weight, but I chose not to in order to help offset the occasional cross wind. Ben went out first round with a goof at the stripe - don't know how he always gets paired up against the track champ 7.90 cars in the first round.... Oh well, they have a buy back round, and he won that - but went out in round 2 by misjudging the stripe as he was trying to hold the steering wheel at a 45 degree angle to offset the wind.
A bummer day of racing, but still a good time - it's a great track, we love going there. Staging lanes for round 2, Jr car count was pretty good for a holiday weekend at 26-30'ish:
I bought Ben's car by myself on a Friday night back in 2010, and he never met the previous owner. Well, the previous owners were at the track on Saturday - you can see why he got out of the car early, he is quite tall! My Benjamin is very tall for his age, and DJ towers over him! DJ now races the blue Nova in the background. Just a little transition picture:
