Race Day

Freddie has been working on his dragster for a while now and this weekend we took it out for the first time in a really LONG time. The weather didn't cooperate with us and he only got to make 2 time trials. The first one wasn't that great due to the car sitting in the shop for so long. The second pass was GREAT and the dragster ran its fastest pass at the Abilene track. So, we will take our rain check and make another weekend of it. Luke was so excited to get back to the track and see all his "racing friends."


Here is Freddie in the staging lanes which is on the west end of the track. He pulls up to make his pass and look at the weather on the east end of the track.
He made it back to the trailer before the downpour. We rushed to load everything up. We don't ever complain about rain, even if it brings an early end to race day!! Off to Sharon Allen's for some BBQ before heading home. Posted by Picasa
