Eagle River Races

It is Sunday morning and I am writing from the Days Inn in Eagle River, Wisconsin. It is about 15 degrees below zero this morning! But, it's all good. I'm only surviving because we are able to sit in the hot seats to watch the race action! Joel and Mitch both made it to the finals today. Joel made it into the top ten qualifiers for the world championship race today. At a ceremony last night he received an Eagle River top ten qualifier ring that had been flown with jet pilots in Iraq, a Coldwave race jacket, embroidered with Eagle River Derby Track logo, and Top Ten Qualifier, and plaques stating his accomplishment and what missions his ring was flown on. Today is the big race at 3:00! Mitch also made it into his final races for a chance at the world championship in the 500 and 600 pro stock events. I will post some photos when we get back, and with a little luck, they will be championship photos!
