First off, I want to thank those that sent prayers last week. Had a little medical issue on Monday of last week, that hopefully was a one time thing. All tests came back normal and I’ll do some follow up with my Dr. to see if there is something I need to do. Hopefully she won’t say that I need to eat vegetables. . . . LOL I also need to thank Tim Cooper, he worked in the garage all week long to get the car ready for the Schilling race. Don’t know what I would do without him. And I want to thank my wife for babysitting me all week and making sure I was doing the right things, which isn’t an easy task.We went to Skyline and hung out with the Schilling’s and McPherson’s until Mother Nature and Greg got together and decided to have a little funny and through down a ton of rain on us, but then it cleared up and the sun come out and we all trounced around in the mud, hoping we were good to go, but another rain hit and that finished us off and the race was cancelled. It is rescheduled for July 26th and it will also be the Jack Shutts Memorial. Saturday we went to Ohio Valley for their Topless race paying $1,200 to win. We set 3rd fastest time and started the pole of heat 3 beside Rod Sayre. Rod got the early lead and I went to the high side to make use of the cushion, but I got in pretty hard and got up on 2 wheels. When I came back down Robbie Evans passed me. We fought back to get 2nd but found out we had bent our lower right front control arm. Pill draw started us 6th in the feature and we moved into 3rd fairly early and was trying to race with the 2 leaders. I was trying multiple lines but I let the car get away from me off of turn 2 and I got sideways in front of the field. I just had to sit there and wait for the collision. This wreck knocked us out of the race and upon the first assessment I thought the old car was done for. But got it home and looked it over and I believe we are ok. Todd Lambiotte came over and got an early start on tearing it apart, then Coop, Brian Fox and myself got busy and got the car repaired and back together for this weekend! Our plans are to go to WV Motor Speedway on Wednesday night for $3,000 to win. Then Friday we will be at Skyline Speedway and Saturday at McCown’s Jackson County Speedway for the Dan Reno Memorial paying $2,222 to win. We hope to see you there!!!! This week, I want to give a shout out to my step son Shawn Blair. He is in the US Air Force and is transferring from Montana to Germany. He will be home with his wife Yana on July 3rd through the 11th. Kim is extremely excited to not only see Shawn, but to meet Yana in person. Looking for a good week with the family!
