We are almost ready for Race #2 this coming Saturday. We took Hunter out to NTK on Saturday evening to practice are going back out tonight for some more. I've been on the phone and web all afternoon ordering new "club required" tires and parts for the kart. Man, it was no joke when I was told this is a money pit! But right now, it is well worth it. Yeah, eating is overrated. HA!
I was watching my little boy practice his corners the other day and was amazed at the control he has. I was thinking that he looked like he has been doing this for 10 years, but he's only 7 and this will only be his 2nd race ever. His mentor coach had told us that he had a natural ability and when I thought about it I remembered our Batman days. Santa brought Hunter an electric powered Batmobile for Christmas four years ago and when Hunter would drive it in the cul-de-sac, he would lean into his turns like a pro - at age 4. And this was before he got us all into NASCAR.
I'm excited for his race this weekend. If you're in the neighborhood of North Texas, stop on by. Schedule and map are on the side.
