Poof!

Usually 'poof' can be a good thing- like the conclusion of a magic trick where a rabbit all of a sudden appears out of a hat or 'poof' one of your socks is left solo at the end of your laundry pile. This is not the kind of 'poof' that happened to us, wish it was!

Friday Corey decided to go racing in Superior, WI. It was a 2.5 hour drive but I decided not to moan and groan because he has always wanted to go. We packed up Emma and headed out. I have to say, it wasn't a bad trip and Emma did very well. We got there, unloaded, and got on the track. Corey looked great in his heat--until around lap 3 when the car went from a strong 3rd place to fighting for 4th. Then it came- poof-- white smoke. As a racer or race fan, you know this isn't a good thing. Corey put the car in neutral and rolled to a stop. They pushed him in and that was the end of the night. We know the motor has some big problems but we haven't rolled it out of the trailer to look at it yet. Needless to say we drove 5 hours for 4 laps. :(

We had a wedding on Saturday night and hung around the house on Sunday. A lazy rest of the week-end..and that was all right for us!
