Rough Track = Rough Day

Paige raced in Emmetsburg today. When we got there, the track looked horrible. Apparently, they put down some sort of dust control but it had already been watered so it turned the track into a sloppy, rutted mess. They took about an extra hour to pack the track.


She started 6th in the first heat race and finished 4th. Started 2nd in the second heat race and won it. She looked good in both heat races. Paige started 2nd for the feature. By then the track had dried out and was very slick. She took the lead and led for about 3 laps before she spun out. She had to start in the back and ended up finishing 5th.

They have added on one more race, so she will be racing again on Sept. 20th.




Waiting for the driver's meeting





Dad telling her she did a good job



Not a happy camper, but we are still proud of her!
