Tomorrow, tomorrow, how I love ya, tomorrow, you're only a day away!!
We are in Katy, TX for races #5 and #6 of the SWRC series. We practiced all day long yesterday in this hot, hot, heat trying out different setups- gearing mostly, since this is our first time at this track. As we are discovering more about our boy, he does not disappoint. He suited up and ran everything we threw at him. After practice, we ate pizza and went swimming with our racing buddies.
Today started good. Hunter had a good qualifying time and started 2nd in the pre-final. During the pre-final heat, he and his main competitor, Michael, battled it out for the lead, but with two laps to go, Hunter claimed the lead and kept it!
Starting the final heat on the pole, he got off to a bad start and Michael tool the lead. But Hunter would catch and pass him on the straight-away then Michael would get him back on the 1st corner. We thought we were in for 16 laps of this until...
Battling for the lead around that corner, neither of them were giving up space and they bumped, broke both their chains and split the track.
Hunter was okay with it...its just racin', he says, and they were racing hard, but Michael was devastated.
Of course, now, they are both hanging out together in someone's air conditioned trailer.
I wonder if they have room for Mom?
