Happy Birthday....Trackside

I took my time getting to the track today.  I wanted to share Alexander's birthday with him and had to keep in mind the number of hours away from the pooches as well as my inability to watch a lot of racing. 

When I arrived at the track in the early afternoon, I was greeted by Alexander saying "you are never going to believe what happened".  This, I thought to myself, is not going to be good.  Alexander proceeded to explain to me that dad had sent him out on track to race with two (yes, two....50% of the total) flat tires.  YIKES!  Zander was still able to pull off some good speeds and finished the day in second place. 

After racing, Viguen and I surprised Zander with a cake and ALL of the racers and their families joined us for a birthday celebration.  To add to the fun, it was Ken Venberg's 70th birthday....he had a cake as well.  LOTS of cake and fun!

After cake, we packed up the trailer and headed out for some DQ food....Zander's favorite track side treat.  Hamburgers and chicken tenders....a few "manly" birthday presents and then I headed home and my boys headed back to the track.

Tomorrow is another day.......HAPPY 13!
