Bear Lake Derby

Well I am kinda sad to post this because my favorite thing we did this summer, our five year anniversary trip, is now with the older posts. So if you didn't get to see it make sure you check it out. Maybe that can be my excuse for why I am almost two weeks late getting this posted. Jared decided last second that he was going to take his wagon to the Bear Lake derby. I only had one thing to remember to take with me, my camera. The one thing I forgot was my camera. So THANKS SOOO MUCH Leonora the pictures turned out great!!! From the very start of the derby it looked like Jared was going to do well. He won "People's Choice" in just the first few minutes of the derby. He also placed in his heat and was able to come back for the main event. As he was driving up the hill to go into the arena he noticed his switches were starting to go bad and were sparking everywhere. It all went down hill from there. Jared had to rewire his car a couple of times during the main. He still took fourth, but was so close to taking at least second. They called him out just as he was ready to start up the car again. The biggest heartbreak was that Jared didn't win any money in the main if he could have at least pulled off second he would have won a $1,000. Jared took the car out to the bash to the last. Good idea since there was $475 for the winner. Bad idea because there were a few cars who had it out for Jared and that was the last day of the poor wagon. I was just glad there were no visits to the ER and that Erik and Eric didn't have a derby car smash them!
