NOT A VERY GOOD RACE WEEKEND

Well this weekend did not turn out to be what we had hoped for as far as Brent's racing goes. We had our 8th race at Madera Speedway this weekend. Everything started out good with Brent setting 2nd fast time with a track record. He had to start 5th in the main event since they pulled a 6 for an invert. He had raced his way to 3rd place and the car in front of him got loose and when Brent checked up to avoid hitting him the car in 4th hit him and spun him around. That sent us to the back with 8 laps to go. He restarted and was doing a great job working his way back up when again the car in front of him got loose and collected Brent and spun him into the infield which caused a yellow checkered flag. Needless to say we finished 12th. He was so upset but Brian and I assured him he did nothing wrong and unfortunately it was a racing deal that happens. We told him that it was just a bad week and not to worry about it.

Well I had my followup doctor's appointment today with the OB/GYN Specialist. As of right now I have been scheduled for another ultrasound to see how the cyst is progressing. We are crossing our fingers that it has decreased in sized so that I will not need to have surgery. The ultrasound has been scheduled for the 3rd of September.

Well that's all for now. Brent has another race this weekend however this time it is in Roseville. Please keep your fingers cross for him that he will have a much better race day. Have a great week. Talk to you all soon.

Dear Julie: We're praying for you that no operation is needed. Tell Brent not to worry about just one race. He will have many, many more.

See you all October 3rd

Love, Uncle Rodger

I really don't like all this operation talk. I am demanding that you all move out here so I can take care of you. You know like you did me when I was younger (pushing me off the top bed, down stairs)he he. Seriously I am praying for you sis, and I love you bunches.
Tell Bri if I hear one complaint about his bedside manners I am... well he doesn't even want to go there ;-)

I know how Brent must have felt Sunday. He really is hard on himself. Tell him for me that it not whether he wins or loses it is how he raced that is important. And from what I read he raced great. Things like that will happen - even to Jimmie Johnson.
Uncle Rodger and I pray that you don't have to have surgery but if you do don't worry all will be well. Just think no more women things, no more cramps, no more having to schedule events around that particular time. I know I celebrated when I had my surgery. It meant FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take care and keep us posted.
