Father and Son Together on Racetrack

Connor was anxious to go back on the track. It had been exactly twenty days since he raced last. (Yeap, Connor counted the days.) There was a scheduled race last Sunday but it was cancelled due to rain. He was very upset then. He waited two weeks for that day to come only for it to be cancelled. He would wait almost another week to put his suit on and drive.

On Practice Day, father and son were able to go out on the racetrack together. Tom tried the new (new to us, anyway) go-kart that we bought which we will swap for Colin's go-kart this weekend. It was the first time that the two were able to ride on the track together--and maybe the only time, for a while anyways. Tom has no immediate plans to have his own go kart to race (at least, I hope). Connor was running his usual 44s (44 seconds +) while Tom's first run was timed at a slow (or I should say, pitiful) 1:09. :D

 After a few laps, and a few turns on the track, they were both satisfied that Connor's go-kart is ready for the race today, the last points race of the season--and either Tom got to shake that go-kart racing bug out of his system or he just fostered it. We'll see.
