There's more to the story...

So...if the weekend wasn't busy enough...Mike was asked to represent his race track as one of eight drivers promoting the LAUNCH of a brand new ride at Water World called the Turbo Racer.



Close-up of the eight drivers and the check presentation...

These are the eight drivers that represented the track - they all race different divisions so this was a fabulous way to allow these drivers the opportunity to race together in one event. Well, in looking at the group picture - you might notice that Mike is the biggest guy to race down the water slide so he had gravity on his side. Scotty was the second largest guy and well...he placed second. The water park donated $1,000. to Mike's chosen charity - The Children's Hospital Burn Center, and Scotty chose the Missing Children's Task Force and his charity was given $500. They catered the event and provided us with as many free passes to the park as we needed to bring family members and friends. The drivers spent some time signing autographs and then we enjoyed the remainder of the day enjoying all of the rides. This event received news coverage from four of our major news channels. Our boys were so proud of their dad for taking first place and Nick even asked if he could race for charity events. I'm looking forward to spending the next few days unwinding from all of the day long activities and getting caught up on laundry!! I still need to finish cleaning my room - I appreciate the various advice on how to get it accomplished!! Until next time...
