*Post is from Sunday, sorry I’m late getting it out here. We have another Saturday full of Baseball and Racing planned for this weekend!
What a day! Danny Boy played his favorite game ⚾️ yesterday morning.JV played against Littleton. He pitched two innings, played first and had a couple hits. Once the game was done we made a mad dash to the track and had just enough time for tech and safety checks to get out for practice.
Danny has a new car (manual) this year. He moved up from the daredevils to the formula 4 division. He wasn’t crazy about how the car felt during practice so they made some minor adjustments. During the heat race he looked good and moved up from the back of the pack (luck of the draw #16) but it was running a little hot, made some more adjustments and good to go. In lineup before he hit the track something went wrong! Thanks to our race family they found Dan Sr. and helped switch out a bolt for the ball joint. As always Danny was cool as a cucumber and said if dad can fix it I’ll race it!
During the feature he had his share of agricultural designing 😆 He was able to get right back in and then had a taste of the wall after being tapped in the rear while passing another car,he’s ok! His car overheated and we are 99% sure the motor blew. He took a trip down pit road and parked it. The motor will come out this week to asses the damage. Good news, we have a backup so no matter what he will be back next weekend. Not bad for a kid that’s only driven a manual car 3 times!
He’s still learning and it’s been pretty awesome watching him figure it all out!
