2013 Season Has Begun!

2013 Season Has Begun!

5/9/2013
Nothing makes a boy happier then getting back in the seat of his race car! Owen had a long winter (as we all did) and he is beyond thrilled that he is back in the seat. He has had a few great races and has started the season strong! Raced at the Cedar Lake Arena a couple times with first place finishes. We've been out to Elko 2 race days now and have had excellent results, well, except one Senior Animal feature where something with his steering broke.
