CCS Race at Barber Motor Sport Park - August 15 & 16

It was another hot race weekend at the Barber Motor Sport Park. Brett raced the R6 and continued to improve on his lap times. The CCS racers proved to be capable competitors and I think they could hold their own against the WERA racers.

Coleen’s sister, Mary Ann, spent the weekend at the track with us and it was nice to have her with us.

We met several new friends, and I loaned my leathers to a fellow named David White from West Virginia.

We also met a chaplain named Ray Rozzio from Nashville and Keith Sharon from North Carolina. Both were kind and agreed to pray for Brett’s pain management and future opportunities to share his testimony.

Photos may be posted later at http://www.skinandleather.com as we met the photographer behind this site.

On to Talladega grad prix this weekend and Brett starts school next week.

Pray for safety, good weather and for Brett to do his best in school.

English Family

I noticed that some people from England had been reading Brett's blogspot posts. Just to let you know - Brett's great grandparents were Leonard and Nellie Bell Hughes. His great uncle would be David Hughes. He has great aunts Audrey, Gillian, and Beryl. I also know that he has 2 cousins, Sarah and Mark. I also know that Mark moved to France at one point in time. If you know this family, please pass this blogspot address on to them.

Blessings,
Coleen (Brett's mom)

Roebling Road 7/25/09 & 7/26/09

Brett did well this weekend! He came in 3rd place in Clubman, 3rd place in
D-Superstock, and 7th place in C-Superstock.

I was reading through some of the old posts and watched the Fox News report on Brett. I wonder if they know that he actually has his race license now and is doing as well as he is.

Thank you all for your prayers and support.

Please pray for Brett as he still struggles with phantom pain.

We are so thankful to God that He has allowed Brett to ride.

Blessings,
Coleen

Carolina Motorsports Park 7/18/09 - 7/19/09

This weekend was great! The weather was nice and Brett stayed up on two wheels!
The track was bumpy "As all get out"!
He came in 3rd place in Clubman, 2nd place in D-Superstock, and 12th place in
C-Superstock! We are so proud of him.
I will post photos as soon as I get them. Meanwhile, you can view photo's at PitMonkeyPics.com.

There is absolutely NOTHING to do in Kershaw, SC! You would have to travel 20 miles in either direction to get to town. But we did manage to find a decent hotel to stay in - the Executive Inn.

Please continue to pray for Brett's phantom pain.

God Bless You All.

June Races

Hello!

It has been a few weeks since I have posted because we have been so busy. We went to Talladega Gran Prix Raceway (Lil Tally) on June 13th and 14th. It rained. Brett came in 7th on the R6, 4th in Clubman, and 2nd in D-Superstock. We had just bought a new First Up and the storm that hit tore up both our First Up and our EZ UP. What a mess!
David brought them both home and fixed them. Go David!

On June 26th and 27th we went to Road Atlanta. The heat was unbearable! Brett came in 5th in Clubman (race # 9) and 4th in Superstock (race # 7). He was not able to race the R6 (race # 12) because the heat got the best of him. He came in from race # 9 and layed on the ground. His face was very red and he was extremely hot. The fan was turned on him, but it only blew hot air. We cooled him down as best we could then he got in his truck with the a/c on full blast. He did not cool down enough by race # 12 to race his R6.

I recently found on the website www.bamarides.com an article and a video of Brett. You should go check it out.

You can also go out to VHS photography and find photos of Brett. (See picture links in prior posts...)


Our next trip is to Carolina Motorsports Park in SC. Please pray for all the riders as the summer progresses. Please pray for Brett's pain to go away.

Thank you all for your prayers and your concern.

In Christ,
Coleen (aka Brett's mom)

Roebling Road June 6 & 7, 2009

What a great trip! I am glad that we all brought our webbed feet along!
We had never been to Savannah before so we decided to leave on Thursday, sight see on Friday and part of Saturday, spend Sunday at the track, and head home on Monday.

The races went well. Brett came in 2nd place in two races and 7th in another.
The first race was the D Superstock (he came in 2nd), the second race was Clubman (he came in 2nd place) he only missed getting 1st place by 1/2 of a bike length.
He came in 7th in the C Superstock. He probably would have come in 6th, but his chain was very, very loose and caused him to ride slower than he would have.

Overall it was a very good weekend. It rained just about the whole time we were there. I look forward to going back in July and touring the city of Savannah again. Maybe next time it will not rain.

We hope to see you at Lil Tally on June 13th & 14th.

With all the humidity, Brett's phantom pain increases tremendously. Please continue to pray for him.

Thank you for your support!

Coleen
