The Bucket List

Rob and I went to this movie on Saturday and it was good, but Rob absolutely loved it! I asked him what would be on his bucket list, and he said he wasn't old enough to make one yet!

Happy Birthday, Joel

This is where it all started. About thirty years ago when Joel sat on his Dad's sled in our walk out basement which was the work shop back then. Happy Birthday, Joel (a day late, but you know I am never on time)! I'm proud of you. You are the kind of person who is following his passion, and you are always willing to try new things. And isn't it funny how we both ended up the same age, 29?

Top Ten Finish

The guys finished in 10th place at the Soo I-500 race on Saturday. Not what they were looking to do, but at the Soo, it is an accomplishment just to finish the race. Glad to be home, and we are grateful for another safe race.

Sunday Race Results

The morning started out with Joel winning a champ class and Mitch coming in second with his 440. But the big race was not to be won and they had to settle with 6th place.
Getting ready to head to the Soo for qualifying tomorrow.

Good News From Lincoln Race Track

The boys are off to a good start this weekend. Joel won his Champ class, and the Open class, and Mitch won the 500 Pro Stock and the 600 Super Stock classes. Plus, they are on the pole for tomorrows Lincoln 300 Race. Good Luck!

World Champion Snowmobile Racers

This photo is from Saturday. Mitch got the hole shot on his #65 Ski Doo.

This is from the award ceremony where Joel received his championship ring and jacket. He is in the middle in the back row.

Joel took 6th place in the World Championship final race. Everyone was pretty happy with that since it was his first year running the champ class and he made the top ten qualifiers for the race. Mitch took 3rd place in the pro stock 600 class, and he is the winner and world champ in the pro stock 500 class. He won a new helmet and a Coldwave jacket, and brought home two nice trophies to add to his collection. He made everyone laugh at the banquet when he wrote his sponsors on the palm of his hand, and was caught looking at it when he couldn't remember them all! It was a good effort all the way around, and it's nice to be home now. It seems warm here compared to the temps in Wisconson. Next race is in Lincoln this weekend!
