 The tree fell against one of my fraternity homes but no major damage.  Big tree in front of another fraternity fell and took out some power lines. Tree was maybe 6 or 7 feet around.  In case you could not see it in the previous pic... yes that tree crushed a car! (no one was hurt) Well this weekend was an adventure. Friday I had a wedding with my friend Megan. It was a friend of ours from college, and at the wedding we caught up with a lot of friends from WMU. Well one of them went to high school with Heather, small world. I finally got to talk to my brother Andres and wish him a happy birthday. He just started a new job and life for him is going well. Sunday we went to Ypsilanti for race. This was my first race with the Detroit SCCA group. It was a much larger event then I am used to and much more competitive cars/drivers. There were nearly 200 cars for the event and I was honestly very worried about how I would fare. I was facing 12 cars in my class... one of my biggest groups ever. It was a long fact course which is something I am not used to, Furrin events are usually short and tight. We got four runs and some exciting things happened... after the first run I landed smack dab in second place! Not too bad as usually I am toward the middle/bottom and crawl up spots during an event. After the second run BAM... I was in first place by nearly a whole second! This was the first time I was ever in first. The third run came and I got slower, but my first place time still held up. Fourth I improved over my 3rd run but still did not improve my best time... and unfortunately one of the other guys did improve and over took my time... so I ended in 2nd place. Still a great outing, and still a ton of fun! I can't wait to do more racing. |
