Michael and his trophy for 5th place

Michael in his car

On Saturday the kids raced in a single and a double elimination race. Bothkids did well, they did not get double phased (they did not loose both runs down a hill against a racer, only one, or they won both). Emily did not place, but Michael ended up getting 5th in the single elimination race. He had a little accident, and hit the guard rail after crossing the finish line. He was still disqualified and very disappointed, as he had beat the boy by at least 3 car lengths. Oh well. He still came home with a trophy.

A fun time was had by all. We left home at 6:00 AM our time and returned at 9:00 PM our time. Doug and I were very glad that we got an extra hour of sleep :)
