Next Event Twin Cities Sdwy July 17th	The race a Brownstown seems like an eternity ago now. We started 9th in the heat and finished 4th. That put us starting 10th in the feature. The track in the feature was kind of one line on the bottom. At one point I was running 6th, but I did not feel like playing follow the leader on the bottom. I ran the middle and raced my race back to 9th. It was obviously a dumb decision to move up, but I don't care about running 6th. I want to win so I thought I would try something. More interesting news for Holly and I was that we now have a 6 year foster son. Friday night we got a call from DCS, and we picked him up around 9 pm. It has been fun, exciting, tiresome, challenging and so many other things so far. He is a smart, wonderful young man and we are all trying to figure each other out. Finally, this Friday, we had a finish that is reflective of how good the car has been the last couple weeks. Of course, we started up front in the feature, which makes it much easier. We started 4th and with two laps to go, I really thought that we would end up second. However, it worked out that we came home 4th. I haven't watched the film yet, but from the car, it seemed like you could throw a blanket over the second, third place car, and myself. It was fun racing. I will post the video as soon as possible. We are going to be back in action this Thursday at Brownstown Speedway with the start of the late model Summer National tour. Hopefully, we will continue with trend we started here in June. Racing this weekend could have gone better. On both Friday and Saturday, I was turned by another car causing me to lose several positions. Friday, I was running seventh and got spun completely so I had to go to the tail. Saturday, I was running 6th or 7th, but I did not spin completely. I saved the car, but lost 5 positions in the process. I was really angry about it, and did not act in a way that I am proud of. Now I am more disappointed by that than I am the events. In the grand scheme of things, it is just two races. I can think of many other worse things that could have happened. Also, how many people would love to race but can't for some reason or another? However, it is hard at times to keep things in perspective when you are caught in the moment. We are going to keep digging and things will turn around.
