Lindsay was quite a chilly weekend. Things went pretty well but not as well as Rouyn. Patrick had some really great heats and qualified 4th in the Novice 2 finals. He had 3 fifths. Unfortunately we have burne a piston on the 550 - hopefully it will be ready by the weekend.
Rebecca had an okay weeknd. The mini was running well but unfortunately she was too tried on Sunday to keep it together in the qualifying - she had her mini heat right after 3 back to back heats on the big sled on the big track.
Next weekend we are in Barrie at Georgian Downs.

Rouyn rocked
The kids had a fun time over in the belle province. The little mini rocked - 2nd on Saturday and 1st on Sunday. There is a little discrepancy between what we believed happened and the posted results. The first two kids were disqualified and Rebecca was 4th over the line so she should have come 2nd so that's my story and I'm sticking to it. On Sunday she clearly came 1st and got the big trophy. She also won Novice Girls on Saturday and had her usual 3rd / last place finish.
Patrick has some pretty stiff competition in all of his classes. He was racing well, had a 2nd place in one of his 550 heats and qualified 4th for the Novice 2 final on Saturday. He just doesn't have much luck in the finals. He was 3rd in both heats of Freestyle racing and got a third there. He qualified for all finals both days and just didn't have any great finals races on Sunday.
There were huge crowds there. The race was between two big (huge mountains of snow really) piles of snow. It was almost like those hill climb races from the west with all sorts of people watching from beside their sleds.
The funniest part of the whole weekend was the availability of booze. A lady was selling beer and shooters from a little sleigh in the parking lot. It's a different land over there.
They say the snow in the snowdump lasts until August and they might have a race there in June this year. Sign me up - we'll be there.
We're off to Lindsay this weekend.
