August 3rd and 4th we were out at Miller for Friday test and tune and Saturday Utah Kart Championship race 5. I decided to run both classes again to get more shifter experience. Saturday was pretty eventful in the shifter class with karts flipping and flying over each other but I was clear of all the accidents. The TAG class had zero turn out so it was just me and sissy. I got first this time and she got second but that seems to switch every weekend! The first heat in the shifter class was awesome I had my best start and finish ever. I ended up 9th out of 19 karts overall and 4th or 5th in class because of all the accidents (but I don't count that cause I was busy in the back racing the heavy guys). I made a ton of passes on the restart (restart because of flying karts) and then even passed a couple racing. I almost passed another right at the start finish line but was hundredths of a second off. The second heat I lost a chain after making three great passes, oh well. And the main event I had a terrible start and had to make a lot more passes. I finished just 3 tenths behind the kart in front of me and was faster than him the whole race but couldn't get around. All in all it was a great race weekend.

After the race for beating the other girl in my class (an on going joke with Bonnier) I got a celebratory beer! After drinking it Adi wanted to play with the bottle because bottles are her new favorite toy. Teresa took this picture and I can't stop laughing at it. She looks like a little booze baby, too funny!

After the race we went to Rocky Mountain Raceway to watch TJ's Sprint Car Race. The people at that track are.... interesting. There, that's as nice as I can be about it. We ended up standing on the stairs leading to the box seats to avoid the "interesting" people and their cigarette smoking. Yuck! Adi did pretty well with her little baby headphones until she got tired. Notice her go kart shirt? Yeah totally awesome.
