Gentleman Start Your Engines




Well let's just say the night was exciting. Cole and Nathan were in the car (#69) last night. Cole was the gas man and Nathan had the wheel and brake. They were doing really well. They started up front, fell behind and then started to pass several cars. Car #99 is the car of the guys who got them into this and helped with building their car. Then at about lap 6 out of 8 things went not so good. The brakes ended up locking and the boys crashed into the water barrels. The front fender is smushed and the hood buckled but everyone is OK. This was cool because it happened right in front of the stands and some kids got splashed with the water and sand. If they can get the car in shape they race again Monday. Cole will be the driver and Andrew is the gas man. The car now looks like a true race car. Andrew told them before the race he wanted a dent. I don't think he expected this. By the way I didn't panic or freak. The crew got to them really quickly and they announced that they were OK. The other moms hearts stopped for a brief moment. I just wanted to see them to make sure they were OK. Bill's taking it hard. He's wondering what went wrong with the brakes and wants to make sure that this is ok before he lets them race with the car again. PRO Racing stands for Poeschl, Rogers, Olson racing.
