First Race Weekend of 2009

Hello!

February 7 & 8, 2009 - What a weekend! The weather could not have been better for the month of February or for the first race of the season!

The race was at Lil Talley and there were a lot of racers there. There were also a few crashes but nothing too serious (that I know of).

Brett could tell that it had been a few months since he had been on his bikes. Overall I would say he did very well.

This weekend was especially hard for our family as it was Feb 7, 2007 that Brett lost his arm when he was hit by a woman (with a suspended license) driving an SUV.

(Please do not forget to sign this linked petiton:)

In C-Superstock expert, he came in 12th place. This is the race that he rode his new (to him) R6. He had only been on the bike a total of 4 times before the race. So, not bad for his 5th time to ever be on the bike!

He came in 5th place in Clubman expert, and 3rd place in D-Superstock expert.
Needless to say, I was happy that he was able to stay up on two wheels (although he did accidently raise the front wheel off the ground on the R6).

(You can go to Brett's racer profile.)

Brett did collect his 3 First Place number plates for the 2008 season in Novice for the Southeast region, North Florida region, and Mid-central region.

I will post pictures as soon as I get them. VHS does a great job on the photos!

Please pray for Brett as we go through the race season that God will keep him safe from all harm, evil, sickness, pain, and death.

Please pray for God to heal his phantom pain as well. With the Spring comes lots of pressure changes in the weather and this really brings on the pain for him.
Brett has a wonderful doctor (A. Walsh) that helps him manage his pain. She tells us that in another two years she expects Brett to be off all of his medications.

Thank you all for your interest and for your prayers!

Blessings to you all,
Coleen
