What. A. Weekend! 🥵 We were so grateful the club agreed to an earlier start time each day so we could escape the heat earlier. 👏 Thank you TKQMA!
On Saturday, Madsen had an early soccer game (and scored a goal!!) so he didn't get to practice before his heat, but he had a special guest come watch- his teacher and her grandson!! It was their first time watching quarter midget racing and it was so fun she came to watch.🥰 He finished 3rd in his heat then finished 2nd place in his feature! Macy was in the other heat race and started out p2, got passed and finished 3rd, then finished 4th in her feature!
On Sunday, the Jerry Renchler Memorial Race, we got to hear from Jerry's family. It was really cool that his family came from Texas to be here for this race! A couple of his family members got to wave the green flags for two different races at the track. Everyone was provided some INCREDIBLE trophies for their finishes in their races - so awesome!
Macy and Madsen were in separate heats again. Madsen started p2 in his heat, but before they all made it out on the track, the car in p1 had to scratch so that put Mads in p1. He got passed by two pretty quick cars and finished p3 in his heat. In Macy's heat, she started p2, got the lead on the start, then got passed and finished p4. In Madsen's feature race, he finished 4th. In Macy's feature race, she led laps early before getting spun and went to the back, made her way back to p3, spun again trying to make a pass, went to the back, and finished 6th.
Overall, race weekends are chaotic and exciting and nerve-wracking (and hot AF lately!!!!). We are constantly learning and still don't know how to get our cars running to their max potential. Props to dad for all his effort on the cars - we keep grinding! 🏁🏁
