Jeff's Race at Irwindale Speedway

My brother is a race car driver in his spare time and came in first place last year. I hadn't had a chance to go so the kids and I went to his race the Saturday before Mother's Day with my mom and dad. It was so much fun!! I need to go more often. His new car was getting work done so he had to drive his old car. The transmission was slipping so he didn't get to finish the race. It was so sad! He had a mother's day speech all prepared for when he won so needless to say he was a little dissappointed. But I was so impressed!! I had no idea that my brother had such amazing skills! He had to start in the back of the pack and was in second place by the fourth lap!!

There was a face painting clown there so of course Delaney had to have her face painted. She wanted a butterfly but I talked her into checkered flags on one cheek and my brother's number on the other. She looked sooo cute!! Bryse was totally into the cars...he'd wave at them each time they came around the track. When my brother's car was told to leave the track from the transmission smoking so bad Delaney kept saying, "Uncle Jeffie's car needs a bandaid" and "Poor Uncle Jeffie and his car need a hug and kiss". It was so exciting that we are going again this Saturday! GO UNCLE JEFF!!
Poor Uncle Jeffie and his car need a hug and (mustard face) kiss

What would an outing be without the face paint? Looks like fun.
