Overall, this weekend was a challenging one, with some intense competition at the Big Cash Summer Bash at Wabash Valley Dragway.
The boys had a tough time on the tree, turning it red multiple times on Friday and Saturday. When they were on their game, we struggled with dialing the cars.
On Saturday, they ended up running each other in the second round of both races, so at least we managed to turn on a couple of win lights. š¤£ Sam managed to make it to a semi-final round for his age group, which was the most successful race for us.
Ella even took a turn at driving in the pit vehicle race on Saturday night.
On Sunday, the boys lost all three rounds of the team race. Then, both went out in the first round of the second chance race. In spite of this, Iām proud of the boys in finding little wins and improving on the tree Sunday despite not turning on a win light.
Weāll make a couple changes to the cars and get back on the practice tree before heading to the Next Gen Jr. Nationals at Bowling Green this weekend. Theyāll have a chance to win a couple of Diamond Wallys there.
Weāll be back in action with the big cars at Norwalk in a few weeks.
