Sunday at the Races



Sunday, we all woke and went to RFC (Racers for Christ) chapel. We had a nice service. Then breakfast in the Lucas tent, yum yum. Then it was time for preparing for the first round. While they were all working, Hank and I went hunting the Sunday TV Show by ESPN for NHRA races. We found them, and watched for awhile. Very Cool.

When we returned to the trailer, it was race time. The wait was intense and exciting all at the same time. But when we got to the line it started to rain. We had to turn around and head back to the trailer to wait. Finally, the rain delay is over and we head back to the line. Green light, she was gone and she won! Karen was now in the second round. Later lined up and ready to make her second pass, it was so close, but she lost.

They were able to complete all the races but then it started raining cats and dogs.
Karen and Gary had to catch a flight back to Nevada, so around 10:00 pm after the bikes had been loaded, tents taken down, and RV all loaded they headed down to the Atlanta Airport.

Boy they have long weekends.Hank and I are so worn out from all the excitement! It was a truly amazing weekend. We can scratch this off our bucket list. Debbie and Doug we can't thank you enough for your hospitality and generosity. Awesome! Thanks!
