Knoxville Rainout

Unfortunately, Knoxville rained out this weekend. We drove all the way down to Des Moines Friday night and stayed at the Sleep Inn. The Sleep Inn is a great motel to stay at and their is a fun place to eat, the Machine Shed, near by. After finding out that Knoxville cancelled on Saturday and our back up plan, Eagle was also cancelled, we hightailed it to Hartford for their test and tune. Hartford's track was terribly dry. We, Gordy and I, did a couple laps each. Our motors sounded great! We were both happy with them. Go John Singer! We decided not to burn up anymore tires, so we headed home again.

We were sad that we were not able to compete this weekend, but we were happy that we were able to shake down the cars. We plan on racing at Knoxville this coming Saturday, weather permitting.

A little side note - I was glad to see that the Twins whipped the Indians today. I hate the Indians! At the Sleep Inn, I was watching some of the greatest catches of all time on FOX Sports. I remember some of those awesome catches by Kirby. The Twins have a young scrappy team this year, but I have no doubt that they will kick some butt!
