WOW!!!!! We have a car!!!!

I can't believe it! We actually have a car!!! We decided that here at DTR we would go racing 3 years ago! Then life happened, we grew our family, weathered a lay off, and now things are back to good and we are getting it together! We had the motor and it was waiting on a car! We started our search at the new year, and man did it bring about lots of chaos! Everything was really up in price this year! (I say everything, meaning the lower classes). I guess the situation our economy is in, more and more are stepping down a class, just to still be able to run! So we found it harder to find a car in the price range we were willing to spend! We have had much talk about running at one track or the other! I really wasn't sure about the "other"other track........





So a couple of weeks ago, we stopped by there on a spur of the moment decision, while driving home! OH MY! I don't know what to say! THe facilities are nice, but it's a small track in size, and the car count was smaller!!! I coudln't believe it!!!! Below is a picture of the girls chilling out in the stands!





So new it was way likely for us to start at the "other" track! It really will be a great learning track! James will be able to learn to watch the flagman, watch the lights, and how to handle a car before crashing himself or others!

Below you can see the car, as we got it!!!! Yes I know it's a site!

Lil E even wants to know why Daddy has a beat up race car! That girl is a mess!!!



We do have clean body for the car too! So we will be having to paint it and get it ready!

We do plan to stay with the original color scheme of black, purple, and light grey/ silver! I'm really really excited!!!!! James is like a kid in the largest candy store out there!!!!
Stay tuned for more racing stuff as we have things to update ya with!!!!
Until then, keep racin'!
