Me and my 2nd place
The Crew! Saturday...Lucas with 3rd, Alek with 1st, me with 2nd and allison and dylan with their non-trophy places.
Me With my first first on sunday (it ws my first first in like, 4 years)
Me with my second first Sunday...2 in on day! that's a first for me!
Bree, Allison and me. My bestest derby friends! on saturday!
Me with my finished Masters car...my WINNING masters car.

So last weekend, we had a double day derby race...2 races per day for 2 days. it was awesome. I had finished my new masters car, so i was able to race it. I got a 4th and 2nd on Saturaday.
Sunday...I GOT 2 FIRSTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!! Never have i gotten 2 firsts in the same day! and I was so happy cuz it was my FIRST TIME in that car!!!!!!!!

And this weekend we had another race in a city a few hours away from us, and that was yesterday.

I got a first and 2nd.

3 firsts in 6 days.

Guess who's going to akron?

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dead serious. I have 163 points and I need 180 to be locked in.
And it's November 2nd.
The race season starts in September and ends in May.
I have a long time to get 17 more points. and that the simple thing.

a frist place is worth 40
second - 35
third - 30
fourth - 25
fifth - 20
sixth - 15
seventh - 10
eighth - 5

and they only count your to 4 finishes, so you really only need 4 firsts.
and I WANT one at our 200th rally...in february...so I hope I can do it!

and each rally you participate in, you get a point.
Really, all you need is to go down the hill once with someone in the other lane ;)
So that's how i have 163 points! (i've been in 8 rallys.)

so yeah. I have no pics from the race yesterday cuz it was just dad and me. mom and dylan went shopping and my mom was sick anyway.

But for some really weird reason;

MY BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes. Dear readers, there is nothing worse than not being able to stop at 30 miles per hour in a tiny car. And having no control.
Wait.
That's a lie.
It's;

FLIPPING OVER IN YOUR CAR AFTER HITTING A POLE BECAUSE YOUR HAND BRAKE SUCKS!!!!!!!

Actually, that was another kid and not me...but still. It's scary not being able to control a car.
especially when you have for 8 years! So i'm not really all that excited about gettin my permit this week....but oh well.

anyway,

I got a first after crashing into the cones 7 time (in that race) and going through 2 brake pads. Then when I raced this kid for the winner of the bottom brackett, the kid went off the road into the gravel-y driveway. With my 9th place wheels. and messed them up!!!!! Ugh! and he didn't apologize until after the whole race. but when i didn't see him, i ran up the hill to make sure he was okay. that jerk. and one of my friends likes him. ugh.

Then in the afternoon race, I kept crashing into them after a while. In lane 2, I would go off the track and stop on the bumpy, pot-hole-infested area. then, I finally tore chunks off my brake pad. And bent the plunger that the brake pad goes on. and that's not good.

and then I lost it.
you would too!
I had 2 1/2 hours of sleep the night before!
I just kept crying and crying. I had had it.

and I hurt my pinky finger!

but then i had some sense wacked into me.
and i kept racing.
and crashing into the cones.
Then I made it to the top 2.
The A phase,
I hit the cones.
Hard.
and broke my steering cable.
And then i was like,

"DUDE!!! I'VE FRICKING HAD IT WITH THIS STUPID TRACK!!!!!!!! I FORFEIT!!!!! YOU GET FIRST AND I DON'T GIVE A CRAP ANY MORE!!!!!!!"

The kid had no problem with his brakes. ugh. but most of the masters with the hand brakes crashed into the cones.
but not as much as me!

so i ended up with a first and second.

And at the awards ceremony, they called me 'Crashtrina' haha.

So at least it isn't like dylans.
Who has the same problems.
And still wins first.

but anywho...i did enjoy that extra hour of sleep last night! :]

now i need to go!

ttyl!
