Busy weekend!

Things are picking up around here! Ron and Tony raced in the Race for Riley charity race on Wednesday at New Castle. Ron had a lot of fun but not a lot of good luck. The shifter motor is still "in the shop" getting fixed so he only got to race the TAG kart. He got taken out on the first lap. Tony had issues with his kart as well. From what Ron said he hit the choke on the engine and just didn't have any power in the motor. Rough day overall but I think both of them had a blast. I had to work so no pictures, not that I would of remembered my camera anyways!

Last night we went out to the J.D. Byrider 100 at O'Reilly Raceway Park. Ron and Tony had their karts on display at the hospitality tent. Both of them signed autographs, which was so fun to watch Ron give out autographs. Of course I remembered I didn't grab the camera about half way there, so no pictures. Pregnancy brain has gotten the best of me with this camera! We got there late because of work so I didn't get to see Tony sign any autographs except for my dad. Tony thought he was hot stuff! It was great racing last night, well the midget race anyways we left before the Silver Crown race. Ron and I headed home since it was 10:00 pm and I had to get up at 4:00 am for work. Ron's Grandma Petersen and Sister Laurie and her fiance are in town for all the races and it was good to spend a little time with them. I miss going to races, we just don't seem to have time anymore but, I am hoping next year we can squeeze a few more in.

This weekend is the Allstate 400 so I will be a crazy long weekend. Ron and Tony are planning on coming out for the race, maybe Ron can remember the camera.
