Mornin' everyone.

SIL's race day on Saturday was a sight to behold. The first race was on the 1/4 mile oval track. He developed a fuel problem and finished toward the back of the pack. That left the season total score tied between Rich and driver #2. Driver #3 was closing in on points.

The second race was on the 1.1 mile road course. Rich captured the lead early and took the checkered flag for the race and the season championship.

Here he receives congratulations from his #1 fan...

On “Dear Diary Day”, this quote comes to mind from a very famous diary:

“It’s difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.”
