Brett @ Road Atlanta
Another great weekend!
Brett and I headed out on Thursday afternoon to Road Atlanta for more race weekend fun.
We secured a place in the paddock for ourselves and friends, Henry and John. Lance was also there and helped secure places for us all.
Thursday evening Brett unloaded his bikes, all his gear and "race essentials". Of course, he wouldn't let me help much. I did get to help set up the tent. HA!
Brett had some good practices on Friday. He had never been on the track before. There were some new configurations to the track. One was a new chicane that had to be changed by Friday afternoon. Too many riders going down and breaking bones led them to believe that maybe they had made a mistake in the new construction of the track. Anyway, I was very thankful that Brett was able to stay on 2 wheels.
David came in Friday evening and was a big help to Brett and me. Stacey did not get to come this time because she had to work. We missed having her with us, but I think she enjoyed the peace and quiet.
Please pray for her as she is working 2 jobs and going to school.
On Saturday, Brett raced V6 Lightweight and came in 5th out of 8. On Sunday, he raced Clubman Novice and came in 3rd out of 7. He also raced D Superbike Novice and came in 2nd. This was great since it started to rain during that race and Brett had on slicks instead of rain tires. Way to go Brett! His time around the track started out at 2:15, but before the weekend was over got his time down to 1:56.
Brett thanked the Lord for his life and his ability (my proudest moment).
We continue to meet alot of wonderful people at the races and have opportunity to witness to them about God's goodness. There are several Christian riding groups that are members of WERA, and we have had the opportunity to meet several people in two of the groups - Christian Sportbike Racing Ministries (www.CSBRacing.com) and Christian Motorcyclists Association (fastlane@CMAUSA.ORG).
The many prayers that there were going up for Brett over the weekend are appreciated more than you know. I pray that many will be saved through the miracle that God is working in him. Please continue to pray for Brett in all area's of his life.
Three specific prayers for Brett:
1. That God will continue to heal the phantom pain.
2. That God will continue to keep him safe on the track.
3. That God will help him through college with good grades.
See the photo's of Brett at Road Atlanta below.
Blessings to all of you!

Wow! What a weekend!
Well, it was father's day weekend but guess where we spent it! You got it - at the track. We loaded up and went to the Little Talley Track. On Friday, Brett took the Ed Bargy Racing School and passed. He got his provisional novice license. (With a provisional license, you have to wear the green shirt.) He raced with WERA on Saturday and Sunday and got his Novice License!
On Saturday, he raced in the Vintage 6 and came in 5th out of 12. He started in 11th position. Way to go Brett!
On Sunday, he raced in the Clubman Novice and came in 3rd. He also raced in D Superbike Noice and came in 2nd. We are so proud of you Brett!
I was especially glad to hear him say, "First, I thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for keeping me alive and giving me the ability to ride. " David and I always pray for Brett when he is on the track, but racing seems to bring about more fervrant prayer - if that is possible. We pray for him and the other riders before and during their times on the track. I hope that you will remember them all as well.
See the photos below of Brett at Talley for his first race weekend ever!
Thank you all for your prayers, your support, and your love!
