Two Weekends of No Racing

Two weekends of no racing meant rest for Mom and Dad! Maybe. That didn't stop Tom from working on the go karts though and it just meant I had time to catch up on tasks that were put aside during the days spent at the race track.

June 9th, we were able to go visit our late Auntie Evie's grave with Grandma Dot and Grandpa. Then we had lunch at Balestreri's Pizza on 6th & Wells then had dessert at Gille's Frozen Custard on 76th & Bluemound, a treat for all of us!

June 15th, Connor and Colin did a fundraising at the Annual Filipino-American Association of Wisconsin (FAAWIS) Picnic. Their go karts were on display and they sold candy bars and gift cards. Daddy was there to anwer questions about go karting, Badger Kart Club and Briggs and Stratton Raceway while I handed out copies of the Briggs and Stratton Raceway Schedule for this season. The interest was great. People swarmed our tent at one point to look at the go karts and ask questions. The boys made enough to pay for one day of racing at Briggs and then some. Thank you to all who showed their support! (We are still looking for sponsors! ;>)

On Father's Day, June 16th, Tom ran the Briggs and Stratton Raceway Park from open (10 a.m.) to close (6 p.m.). Connor and Colin went along with him and they were able to practice while they were there. This was Tom's second day of volunteering as per driver is required to have three volunteer work days. Having two drivers mean we have to work six volunteer days. Two down. Four more to go. State Fair is our next opportunity. Tom plans on knocking down two days at the Fair.

Points Race #5 will be on June 23rd at Briggs and Stratton Raceway. Connor and Colin can't wait to go out and race again!
