UP UP and AWAY!

Nothing like a behind yet again post right?  Two runs and a double race weekend.  

This sums up our Saturday.  I thought we were done for the season.  Andrew is a big kid, and that is causing issues with the cars doing what we call biking.  It's basically when the car comes up on two wheels and it's scary to watch and impossible to drive. Here is a picture our track photographer took of what biking looks like.  

I knew on that day it wasn't if, it was when he would flip.  The guys did everything they could to try and fix the cars with what they had at the track, but the last car in the last race took flight and went over.  Andrew thankfully just walked away with a bruise.  Why he loves doing this some days is beyond me.  

We've also come full circle with baby's first car.  SO cool for all of these pictures to come up on my Facebook memoires in time to see Andrew back in and definitely seeing over the steering wheel this time.

I have to say a huge thank you to so many TKQMA dads from this weekend.  They gave Tony advice, help, and anything else they could to try and get Andrew on the track safely.  At one point we had three former TKQMA dads helping.  They've all moved their kids to dirt, but they still love our club and my kiddo.  God bless them.  While we didn't get the results we wanted at all, we learned a lot and this season is going to be about learning these new to us cars.  I hope we get another season with them, but I'm not holding my breath.  He is a big kid, really big for 12 years old and that isn't good for these tiny cars.  

These three have grown SO much in the last couple of years.  Hard to believe it might be the last year for some of these kiddos.  

Pushing heavy animal cars will wear some dads out.

Didn't get podium pictures from Saturday due to him being hurt, but here is Sunday.  I'll take last and safe any day of the week.  

We did get a fourth in heavy 160 in the feature.  SO proud of him for driving his butt off.  He was in third for most of the race, but the 4th place driver had speed.  He got stuck behind lap traffic and waited too long to get around them and Blake didn't hesitate.  This class is going to be a fun one this year. 

So proud of him for getting back out there and driving his white car even though he was pretty scared.  I would be too and it's cool to see grit in the ginger racer.  Also, we need to get some meat on Dash's bones because he shrunk.  The boys tower over him.  

Have a great week y'all!  I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend of no racing!
