Sunday July 4th

To day is the BIG day of the annual Burris money races! For Caleb to win this race would mean $200 for a payout. WOW!! We were all psyched for the day and headed out to the track for 5 PM. Let me tell you it was a hot one. The track was as dry as the brownies SOMEBODY who we will not meantion, no not me, made the other day. Everyone was having a rough time trying to stay on the track. Everyone was sliding everywhere. After the first heat we went over to our freindly track guy Chris Long that we buy stuff from and had him scale and reset up out kart. It made a bit of a different in the next heat. Caleb was overdriving the course which lead to most of the slipping. Chris and i both talked him into letting up on the gas going into the corners and got him all pep talked for his feature race. Due to our so so first and second heats we started 9th out of 12 racers. hmmm i thought. This could be a problem since you needed to finish 7th or better to get any money. Off they go racing and WOW Caleb must have listened to our pep talk cuz he was actually doing what we said. He drove awesome battling him way thru the pack all the way up to 4th then after an accident and restart ended back near the end of the pack again. He faught his way back up to the front and finished 5th! YEAHHH so he got to take home some money after all. What a great night!
