It was extremely organized which is something we are not used to. We went to sign in and Aaron's car did not pass one of the tests. They use a different track than our group and the weights on the bottom would not clear the track. We asked if we could attach them to the top and he said sure. So Andy got out his tools and set to work removing the weights from the bottom and putting them on top of the car. Aaron was a bit upset because he didn't like the weights on top, it ruined the looks. However after Andy fixed it he was allowed to sign in. There we had to come up with a name for the car. Aaron chose fireball. Then we sat down and waited for the race to begin.
They had an MC for the races who was hilarious. He would make funny little comments to make us all laugh. Then when the race would start he would say, ready set and then hand the microphone to one of the kids in the audience to yell GO. Aaron loved it when it was his turn. Kara was too shy and turned away when he held the microphone in front of her.
After many races Aaron was first in the wolves category! Hooray. So we had to wait for the finals. While we were waiting we helped the church youth group by buying the hot dogs and candy they were selling. We got a King sized Kit Kat and Kara said, "That's the biggest Kit Kat in the world!" She ate most of it too, because I didn't get a piece at all. :(
Then came the finals. Aaron's car did o.k. but did not place. He was a bit disappointed but we were still proud of him! It was a very nice day!
One of the races:
Fireball winning!!!
Aaron's first place trophy:
The wolf winner!
Good Job Aaron!
