And I mean it was a HOT day for racing! We wrapped up our Southwest Regional Cup series racing this weekend with another spectaular win from Hunter.
During practice, Hunter broke track records (not officially counted, though) and was running speeds of over 56mph. However, notably absent from practice and qualifying was his main competitor, Michael. We finally heard that Michael and his parents chose to go to church this morning...message received...racing isn't as important as making sure that God takes first place in your life. I love that.
But with Michael back in the mix - starting from the back of the class, we were back in racing action for pre-final. Michael worked his way up through the pack, but just didn't have anything for Hunter, so we got the pole for the final heat. And, with the times Hunter was running, all the Dad's were scrambling to make adjustments to see if they could catch him.
Starting the final on the pole, Hunter just didn't have the pickup and ended up 4th by the first turn. But within two laps, he had picked off all 3 and was blowing the doors off the field. It was the Blue Bolt in action. It was a weekend sweep for us and we are still trying to absorb and record all we learned this trip.
And yes, we survived the heat. Right as we were leaving a rain storm blew in and cooled us all off! But we're still hot for racing! ;-)
