One Derby Down... How Many More To Go?



Jared was in the KSM derby this last weekend. As always I was sitting in the stands just sick, but it was worth it Jared did really well. Jared by some miracle took 3rd in his heat (The crowd cheered for placing after it got to the top 4). His front fenders locked up his tires so he would just dig a hole with his back tires and get stuck, but someone always came and got him out. He would go for a little longer and the same thing would happen again. While he was in the pit getting his car ready for the main he noticed he was losing his transmission. He only had 2ND gear when he went out to the main. He didn't have a prayer. How could anyone go longer than 30 seconds without reverse? Well that was what everyone thought, but like always Jared likes to prove everyone wrong. He would drive around and sideswipe people. It was pretty funny. He only got hung up once, and once again someone came to his aid and freed him. Jared ended up taking 3rd in the main. It was fun to watch, and everyone loved the paint job on the car!!!The paint was joint effort this time and it turned out really good.
