Hello!
Well, we just finished the last race of the season. Brett came in 1st place for D-superstock and 3rd place for Clubman. He did not race in the C-superstock and it was a good choice on his part not to. He could not get comfortable with it for some reason that day and decided it would be best for the safety of all the racers for him to sit that one out.
In total points for the season for C-superstock, Brett came in 7th for the Southeast region, 9th for the Mid-central region, and is tied for 10th in the North Florida region.
In total points for the season for Clubman, Brett came in 1st in the North Florida and Southeast regions and 2nd in the Mid-central region.
In total points for the season for D-Superstock, Brett came in 1st in the Mid-central, North Florida, and Southeast regions.
Overall we think that Brett did very well.
The only races left are the ones for the Grand National Finals. These races take place from Oct 8 thru Oct 11 at Road Atlanta. Please pray for the safety of all the racers.
Brett will be racing at Barber the weekend of Oct 2-4. This is a Michelin Race. Again, please pray for all the racers.
Until we meet again,
Blessings,
Coleen

Barber Sept 13, 2009
Hello Again!
Just wanted to let you guys know how Brett did. He got 17th in C-Superstock, 2nd in Clubman, and 2nd in D-Superstock. We are so proud of him. As many times as I have seen him race, I am still amazed by the ability that God has given him to ride.
We were afraid that the weather would be bad, but the Lord saw fit to it once again to give us a dry weekend!
With the weather as it is, Brett is suffering from much phantom pain. Please pray for him as it makes it very difficult for him to stay focused at school. We are going Friday to get another block. Hopefully this will take away the pain (or at least ease it).
I feel led to take a moment to share with you that the rapture is upon us. Most people miss Heaven by 18 inches (this is about the distance from the head to the heart). Many people know about God (in the brain), but they don't really know God (in their heart). I know that because I used to be one of those people. If you do not have that close and personal relationship with Him, please pray and ask Him to help you to experience that relationship with Him.
Thank you for your interests and your prayers.

Jennings - September 2009
What a great weekend!
The weather had forcasted a 40% chance of rain, but the Lord saw fit to keep it dry!
There were no serious crashes and that is a huge PRAISE THE LORD.
Brett came in 1st place in D-Superstock, 1st place in Clubman, and 7th place in
C-Superstock. He did run off the track and crash in the C-Superstock race, but he was ok and managed to pick up his bike (by himself - I don't know how!) and get back on the track. He then came in for a re-tech on his bike and took off again to finish the race. That boy is no quitter!
You can only imagine what it feels like to stand and wait for your son to come back around the track and know that too much time has passed and you still have not seen him go by! You know that something has gone amiss, but you don't know what. We are so blessed to have the wonderful folks at WERA that always try to find David and me and let us know what is going on. Not to mention what a great God we have that answers our prayers for Brett's safety!
The only thing that really drove us/me almost totally nuts was the love bugs. They were EVERYWHERE! We sprayed bug spray, we lit citronell candles, we put fabric softners all around us! and yet, the little bugs would not go away! Fortunately, they do not bite or sting. I wish I had known about them before we went on the trip.
When I got home, the first thing I did was go to the internet! I discovered that if you put Dawn, Joy, or some other dishwashing liquid in a spray bottle mixed with water, it will kill the little pests! We will hang on to this for future reference!
We met some really nice people at the track. Bill and Leigh (I hope I am spelling her name right). Their last name is Hayes. This did not even register with me until Leigh said that her nephew raced with the AMA's. I said, "Oh really! What is his name?" To which she replied, "Josh Hayes". Boy did I feel STOOOOOPID! We found out that Bill taught Josh how to ride. I look forward to seeing them again soon.
Thank you all for your interest and prayers for Brett.
Please continue to pray for Brett's phantom pain to decrease each day.
Please pray for him to make good grades in college.
Please pray for him to follow God's will for his life.
Blessings to you all!

Talladega 8/23 weekend
Hello Everyone!
Brett did well at talley. He came in 9th in C-Superstock, 4th in Clubman, and 3rd in D-superstock. (Photo's to follow soon.)
The weather was good, no rain, a nice breeze, and just a little too warm at times. I am glad that the weather is beginning to cool.
We head out for Jennings next and then to Barber, Nashville, (maybe Barber again), then the Grand National Finials at Road Atlanta. This will complete the season for 2009. We are not sure what is in store for the 2010 season as Brett is quickly running out of money.
Please pray for
1. Brett's safety
2. Brett to do well in school
3. Brett's phantom pain to cease.
Most of all pray for Brett to follow God's leadership in his life.
Thank you for your prayers and your interest.
Blessing to all of you!
