Busy Saturday...

Hoping the other team doesn't score. Tony was a great cheerleader for his team while he wasn't planning.

Riley's first soccer game!

Saturday was a very busy day in our household. Ron got up early and headed to New Castle to get ready to race. Ron's dad bought a new motor after the shifter motor blew up for the what seemed like 100th time this season. They got a different motor with less horsepower but it should hold up a little better, or at least that is what Ron tells me. Ron went out to qualify and got the pole, first time ever a Stock Moto engine got the pole beating the ICC 125 motor's. Ron was very excited about it. As Ron dad said it would be like a V6 motor racing in NASCAR against the V8 motors. It has been a long season for Ron with a lot of things going on not only on the track but off the track as well, it was great to hear him and see him so excited. Ron ended up finishing 3rd in the Shifter race and 5th in the Tag race.

Tony and I got up Saturday morning and just hung out together then got ready for soccer. He played an awesome game and I was so proud of how much his teamwork improved. Even though his team lost 4-0 you could tell he had fun and he is learning how to communicate to other kids and how to encourage his teammates. That ultimately was our goal when signing him up for soccer, that and to get some of his energy out. After soccer off he went to New Castle with Ron's mom. Tony ended up finishing 6th. Last weekend while I was still in the hospital Tony had one of his best races ever, he finished 3rd and had his fastest lap time ever. Racing is almost finished for the season. Ron has the endurance race at the end of this month and then both Ron and Tony race the first weekend in October.
