I'm not keeping up on this very well. The NDR on March 29th & 30th rally went well, I took 1st place each day in stock. The April 18th and 19th AA races in Salem, I came in a narrow second both days to Tucker, giving her the 4 wins she needs. I still need 2 wins to get my points up, so I hope I do well at the Best in the West.
We went up to Poulsbo on the 25th, it was a fun race & was able to see some friends. I took 4th, being knocked down by Paige and Hanna. But we have a rematch coming up in a few weeks.
I hope to add some new pictures to my slideshow in the next few days, I am experiencing some computer problems with my desktop & the laptop is not set-up for pictures.

Rain & Snow in Poulsbo
A bit late on this post. On March 14-15 we were able to make it to Poulsbo, WA for the first race of 2009. We stayed in Seattle with some good family friends and took the ferry over to Bainbridge Island each day.
Saturday was the typical March day; rain, wind, and cold. We had a group of Marines from the local base lift cars, so it saved some wear & tear on parents backs. http://www.soapboxderbykids.com/
It was a fun day racing, I was able to see some old friends and make some new ones. At the end of the day, it boiled down to myself and Tucker. She was able to take the prize, with me following a close second. I looked forward to a rematch on Sunday.
Sunday morning was cold and cloudy in Seattle, by the time we made it to Poulsbo a few flakes of snow started to fall. As time went on, the flakes grew in size placing 1" of snow on the ground between 7 & 8. The snow showed no sign of letting up and the race was called about 9. We traveled down highway 3 and the snow reached 6" in areas. Cars were in ditches and along the road. It was an eventful trip.
That afternoon we arrived at Great Wolf for some fun swimming. The slides and wave machine were awesome. The room was nice, I had a bunk bed & own TV. We spent the rest of the day Sunday and most of Monday enjoying the waterpark & quests.
