Finally a good weekend at the race track!

After a rough year or so racing, things finally seem to be falling into place!  Its about time.  Chris and Jim have been working so hard to get the Corvette to fun again.  Well this weekend, everything was working great.  Chris was in the zone and despite the full moon, had a little bit of luck with him.  We drove to State Capitol Raceway (Baton Rouge, LA) on Friday morning so that Chris could finish a race that was rained out in mid-April.  There were only 7 cars and 3 rounds left.  Well...as luck would have it, he WON!  It was his first ever IHRA win and Ironman (the trophy).  It was great to see him back in the winners circle and even better that we could share that with Katelyn for the first time.  She hung out for winners circle pictures and even held up a #1 sign for the picture.  It was great!
Saturday was the start of a whole new race.  Chris was still on a high from Friday night, but was in the zone!  Everything was falling into place.  He car was on!  After a long day, we made it to the final!  WOW...we could not believe it.  Its been 2 years since he last won and now there was the possibility he could win twice in the same weekend.  We were thrilled.  He ended up losing a very good race to take Runner-Up.  Can't complain about that too much especially since the final was a hard fought race.  So, back to the winners circle we went for pictures.  Again, Katelyn was a champ and hung in there.  It was so past her bed time, but she was going strong with all of the comotion.  We finally get her in bed around 12 and around 1:30am we were able to lay down for the night.  It was sooooo worth it!

Thank goodness for the long weekend.  It was a great weekend, but we are all exhausted today.  I am ready for next weekend because its the first in a while were we do not have anything planned!  It will be nice to relax.
