Well last night we were sitting in a nice restaurant having dinner with friends planning an early night so we would be well rested for the first race of the year today. Just as we were finishing up dinner I get a text message from a fellow competitor and friend that actually made it possible for me to be ready for this race that says: I'm ok, but I totaled Roxy" Roxy is the name of his race car.
After a short phone call with an exasperated friend we realized what we had to do, forgo our planned and much needed night of rest and help our friend get his car fixed for the big race day. The car was a mangled mess and we cut, welded, tapped, and straightened all night. I bowed out early (1:30 if you can call that early) and went home to bed. I'm not even sure what time dad got home but the important thing is that we managed to get the car mostly fixed just needs some setup work this morning.
Hopefully now it doesn't rain and all this hard work will pay off on Roxy, and everything we did to our car over the off season!
