On January 10th BJ, Gideon, Josh and I hitched a ride with Mike and Cody and picked up Emily then we headed to The Battle at the Barn. What an experience! I have never been to a race like this one, ever. It was a small track ( it took the go carts 6 seconds to make a lap), and there was motorcycles, old and new, go carts, lots and lots, 3 wheelers, and 4 wheelers. There was a lot of wrecks but not a lot of injuries. Thank goodness. Kurt was the only one racing but I think once we got there BJ really would have loved to race too. Anyway, Kurt got first in his first heat then got bumped by another 4 wheeler in his second and his chain fell off. So for the next couple hours they worked on fixing that. In his final race he started in the second row in 6th place and by half way he had made it to secondplace. He pulled in front and for the last 4 laps he led and won the race. We were all very excited!
It was a really long day but we all had lots of fun.
Fixing the chain.
