Mac's first race

So I have been to many races and often times there are many dogs...but this was my puppies first race.
she did AMAZING!!!!
she only got scared once, and got so much more confident around all the people it was awesome.
she was not a fan of me leaving her to work on the car, but she is never a huge fan of me leaving.
she was fine on pit row, she was fine up the hill by the track, she was fine wandering through the pits, she was fine with the parites at night in the track.
it was a great weekend. She was awesome, i was hesitant because you never know what they will do, and I didn't want her to be terrified and if she would have been scared it would have been a very very very long weekend.
but it all worked out amazingly and she was defiantely the hit of the race, everyoen thought she was adorable and well behaved and being great for a puppy at the race.
and this picture is pretty cute considering what we were trying to get her to do and all....
overall a great experience and i can't wait for more races next year.

pit crew

so last weekend I went up to buttonwillow on friday and saturday
Friday it was basically just me and my dad,
Taylor was there but he was actually working so I kinda had to do the work.
I would time my dad and do the stuff that I knew how that needed to be done before each session,
and then after each session I would check with my dad of what wasn't "perfect" and then go to taylor and he would tell me what to fix.
It was really fun.
I will say it was a bit rushed and that wasn't so fun, because I enjoy turning a wrench, not rushing when doing it.
but it was really fun.
got to spend some time talking to taylor which is rare these days, got to listen to race cars, work on race cars, and even drive a truck.

it was a great 2 days!!

"THe clutch"

wow!!!
went to a race last saturday
went up to willow springs which is a nice track.

but oh boy....
we changed the clutch 3 times in one afternoon.

why would we do this you ask?
well the first time was because the good clutch was slipping
the second time was because brad said the race clutch was fine so taylor wanted to put it back in
the third time was because the race clutch was still slipping( brad was wrong) and so we needed a working clutch so my dad could race the next day

overall though it was a good fun day
i got to turn a wrench on a race car...a lot
i got to hang out with my brother and ryan(who is like a brother)
and they are amazing and very entertaining
got to listen to race cars,
said hi to grace who i haven't seen in a while,
and just enjoyed a nice day at the track,which I haven't done in a long time.
