As many of you now know, life with us is always an adventure. As we prepared for racing Colorado Motorsports Parkway we had to take the semi truck for emissions and had not yet hooked it back up to the trailer. The trailer was sitting out on the property, up on steel plates and we hear this metal crunching noise. Running out to see...the trailer had crushed through the plates and sank into the soft ground. It took us hours, lots of metal and wood plus much creativity to level it out. Funny thing is while we were out there struggling, some guy running for governor drove over to offer encouragement and a flyer...Seriously?!
We made it to the track safe and shortly after we unloaded, we hear a loud popping noise only to discover that a trailer tire valve stem had blown out. Thankfully, Brian Hardman and Brad Wasson came to the rescue with an air-jack and impact driver and had the spare in place NASCAR pit crew style.
Justin started in the second heat, 3rd row inside and after battling through the field, took 2nd. We were excited to see he qualified for the outside pole only to see massive dark clouds come out of nowhere. Everything was instantly drenched and the track became a mud pit.

After much kicking and screaming, the drivers got back in their cars to try and roll in the track. Hailee and April were soon covered in mud while pushing not only Justin but many other stuck drivers. They had a blast after the first initial shock of cold mud in the face from those fat Hoosiers. Not the mud facial that April had in mind.
MUD FEST!
After about and hour, the track officials decided to call it a night. The mud won that night but the race has been rescheduled for a double header on the June 25th.
We had a blast with Justin's brother Nick who was out for a visit. Nick has always been one of Justin's biggest fan's and Justin is thankful to have had his support for so many years.
