November 22, 2008 update

Hello everyone!

Just thought I would give a quick update.

On Saturday, Brett took his 2006 R6 to Barber Motorsport Park and rode in a track day with Elite Sportbike. This was his first time to ride the bike. He was very smart to start slowly and carefully. As the day progressed so did Brett's speed. It wasn't long before he was flying around the track and dragging his knees through the curves.

Saturday was David's birthday, and Brett wanted him to be able to sleep in. So, I got the pleasure of being Brett's helper that morning - although, those of you that know Brett know that he did not let me help much.

I must say it was sooooo cold that day. Brett and I arrived at 6:45 am. I think the temperature was around 26 degrees (F). It did warm up to a whopping 50 degrees (F) that afternoon, but it quickly dropped again.

It was a fun day for us as we got to see Brett improve with each lap. He really likes the new bike and hopes that he does well in next seasons races.

We will head out to Jennings, Florida soon for another track day. He wants to be ready to race it in February.

By the way, when we went to Nashville, Stacey and Brett played in the indoor pool. If you open the file using QuickTime you will see that even with one arm Brett beat his sister (the lifeguard) in a race across the pool. Brett is the one one the left. He stopped short for fear of hitting his head.

Thank you all for your support. Please keep us all in your prayers.
