The event of the century that we've been building up to for the past 2 months...finaly arrived... the Cubmobile race was Saturday. We've worked on them on weekends, worked on them and practiced racing during meetings, rebuild the old ones and built new ones, and this Saturday we finally raced them. And it rained. So, we raced in the rain! And the cold. And man, are the lines long. I can think of several better ways they could manage this race so there wasn't just so very much waiting around. Especially if it's cold and rainy on race day. It was bad enough that as soon as Alex was done racing (which I made as early as possible) I just sent him home with Beth and Missy, instead of waiting around for a couple more hours with everyone else. Not many of us were left by the time it was finally over. We won a couple of heats but nothing else, no surprise. Same old packs won everything again.
Oh, and the freezer we couldn't sell for $30 at a garage sale a few weeks ago just sold immediately on Craigslist for $100. We're going to give the cash to the Boschains since they gave us the freezer a couple years ago.
