WHY DID I NOT FOLLOW MY DREAMS?

From time to time, everyone stops and daydreams about what their life could have possibly been like if they could have done exactly, what they had a passion for, as a career, or even just as simple as being able to dedicate more time to it. That one thing, be it painting a picture, throwing a baseball, putting together a model car, or something as simple as making a damn paper airplane, whatever that thing may be that "did it for you," could make you completely forget about how bad your day was,… Continue

Praire City rained out!

My race was rained out but not before I could get seven laps in. I passed most of the field in the first turn and raced third without threat for 3-4 laps. Rain drops appear on the camera lens and race track which causes me to spin-out several times. This moves me back to finish fifth after only 7 laps. Race was called off due to rain. What a weekend I had. So much fun. I've had a lot of mechanical problems over the last two weekends including a bent axle and clutch problems but my Dad and Uncle… Continue
