This past weekend was a BIG weekend of firsts for Julia! Julia and I flew to St. Louis to meet dad at the Gateway International Raceway for her first drag race. The flight went well, Julia slept most of it and was all smiles the rest of the time, but a little antsy - whew! Grandma and Grandpa Smith came for the weekend too, we all stayed in our "nastalgic" motorhome - it was fun. Julia did great will all the noisy cars, she kept my ear plugs and ear muffs on! The ride home was an adventure, we spent at least 4 hours trying to fix the motorhome, we had some issues with the fuel lines. It wasn't very fun, good thing Jeff can fix stuff. I won't even go into the contraption he created to get us to Auto Zone!
Below is a picture with grandma, Julia was like a puppy dog all weekend with her tongue hanging out when it was windy - it was pretty cute.
Below Jeff's warming up the tires in a burn-out before he races.
Here's a movie of Jeff's semi-final round. He did a wheely and his car got crooked in the air so he had to let off the gas halfway down the track. He lost, but beat the other guy off the starting line. The other car won in the finals.
We're getting ready to head home ... can you see Julia'a new onsie? - She's now Jeff's official crew cheif. Until next time!
