Slideways Lancaster's National

Casey rented the Slideways Karting Center in Knoxville Sat. It was awesome I can't wait for the chance to do it again. Here are some of the highlights.
I have such a fun family. I love these boys!! Caleb and Jeff.
Casey and Troy.
Mike, who won the first round.


Steve leading the pack. His lead only lasted about 10 seconds, but he had a great time.

Jeff lead most of the way, I think Mike passed him 4 times but kept losing his spot to yellow flags.
Jeff, Mike, Casey, and Kelly.
Seriously entertaining! Molly and I raced with Caleb and Tyler later in the day, but thankfully there are no pictures. I wrecked some poor kid, but didn't wreck myself, which I consider a victory.

That night we went to double feature night at Knoxville, where Casey got the chance to meet one of his racing idols Doug Wolfgang. Wolf was there as part of the pit crew for his son Robby. This is one of my favorite parts of Sprint Car racing, the drivers are completely accessible. After the race everyone is welcome to walk over to the pits and meet them. It's an awesome experience. This and the amazing, chilling noise 410s make going around the track make Knoxville my favorite place to go racing. Sure you feel like a dirt ball going home, but a happy dirt ball.
Thanks for reading.

That looks like an awesome time! We thought about doing that for Destry's bday last year, but the cost was higher than we expected and he was less interested than we expected. . .so we didn't! :)

I'm so glad you had fun! Did it take you back to the good old days of hanging out with your brother and cousins? Yay for VaCaTiOn!
