Well it's Fall and that means it's time for Football!
My grandson plays for our local AAU 14 & under team. He just moved up this year, but has already secured a full time starting spot as an offensive lineman - left tackle. He also plays about 50% of the time the defense is on the field as a defensive end or nose tackle. At the end of the day, he is worn out. But, he is 13 and will snap right back. If I were to do that, it would take a couple of weeks and lots of pain meds to be able to walk again, if ever.
Then Sunday is our group's race at Thunder Shores Raceway in Ocala, Florida. Thunder Shores Raceway is run by Pete & Diane Ross and is one of the best places to race, ever! What an awesome couple of folks. Make you feel right at home and Pete is one of those creative folks. I've never seen a track dryer or track cleaner in operation before. We're running as much as time allows. If all goes according to hopes, then we'll run:
1:32 Carrera Historic Stock Cars (Pete beat me by 5 foot at the 400 Laps of Buzzard Bay)
1:32 Scalextric / SCX NASCAR
1:32 Legends - Womps with "Legends" bodies
1:32 Late Model Stock Cars - Womps with LMSC bodies on them
1:32 Pavement Modifieds - Womps with PM bodies on them
1:25 "Limited" Sportsman Stocker
1:25 "Limited" Speedway Stocker
1:25 "Limited" Modified
1:25 "Open" Dirt Late Model
1:25 "Open" NASCAR
1:25 "Open" Modified
Should be a FUN day of racing for everyone. I know the last time was a Hoot! Looking forward to having at least as much FUN as our last trip there.
Hope everyone's weekend is fun-filled and safe.
