Racing...Sometimes it is all fun and games

Have you heard the saying, "All work and no play....."? Well all work and no play isn't good for people in their lives or in their racing. Sure racing is intense, when you are on the line you better be ready. The competition is tough and most of us are spending a great deal of time, money, and effort to race, so yes racing is serious business. However, sometimes a little fun is jut what you need to remember why you love the sport. We raced a Big Buck race July 4th weekend at Byron Illinois (aka, the Playground of Power!). On Saturday rain came in to eliminate the racing for the race cars, but when the weather cleared up Byron let us race our golf carts. Golf carts are SLOW and you can have a passenger (s) ride along. Believe it or not, 90 golf carts entered the race! Mike and I had a GREAT time. It was really fun driving the finish line and the trash talking that went on at the starting line and finish line was pretty hilarious. We were very happy to make it down to six carts. Sometimes a little fun and games with your friends reminds you why you work so hard to race. Now go have a little fun!
