Race Day Today! We didn’t do great things in the speed category but we all had fun at our first derby. My youngest got 1st place for the Tigers in best in show for his Dr. Robotnik car. My older son’s raptor was super cool but with steep competition in the Bears, he didn’t win anything this year but was surprisingly supportive of his younger brother (at least in the moment) and his other pack mates. Somehow I just inched out over an unbelievable build by my friend Steve to win 1st place with my ‘77 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am in the Outlaws. Steve built a beautiful ‘36 Chrysler Airstream C8 Convertible.
