Parked in Phoenix

Some distance from Phoenix, in small town Arizona, we broke a trailer axle. I told you this in my last post. So that part isn't a surprise.

On Wednesday, after talking to a lot of people, and making a lot of phone calls,  Keith managed to locate a replacement axle about 100 miles away.

So off he went, and about four and a half hours later,  he returned to that small town in AZ with the axle. The spring perches were different than the existing axle, so a bit of welding done by a local trailer shop, and Keith was back on the road with the trailer around 8:00PM AZ time.

Life is just an endless string of hurdles. Jumping them is  only way to get to your destination. And even when you knock one down, and need to set it back up. But once again, the hurdles between us and our next adventure are completed.

The car, trailer, and Keith are currently safely pitted at Firebird International Raceway.

Stock runs at 8:00 AM AZ time, and I will be watching and rooting via 1320go.com.

Definitely not like "being there", but it better than not knowing. This is only the second time this car has run that I was not present. The first was a few months ago, when we tried out our backup motor at Stanton MI, Keith and Tonya went alone as it was a last minute decision, and I couldn't make it. This one was also kind of last minute, or at least it sneaked up on me. I already had a Cat Scan scheduled, and an appointment to hear what it shows. So I needed to miss this first phase of the trip.

More tomorrow after qualifying.


God Bless, and Race Safely
