I forgot to mention the exciting part of the Soap Box Race. (At least for Andrew) The day before the race, during the practice runs, Andrew got side swiped by another driver. The girl going down the other lane with him, drove through the cones and hit Andrew's car behind the rear wheel. Andrew spin around about three times and ended up going backwards down the hill. We had to replace his wheels and straighten his axle. My heart skipped a beat or two, but Andrew thought it was fun! Luckily, there were no collisions on race day. And you thought the Indy 500 was exciting!
This is Andrew's second year driving this car. When he turns 14 in October, he is no longer eligible to drive in the stock division, so hopefully we'll get the Union to sponser him again in the Super Stock class. It's a bigger faster car. It also comes in a kit that he and Mark will build. Then we'll find a new driver for this car.
