My weekend was awesome. It was my first time going to Ohio. Just for the experience it was worth the 600 miles. When I went to Ohio I did not set my expectations vary high since this was my first national year. Going into the BIG race Saturday night my nerves were going haywire since it was the biggest race I have ever participated in. I ended up getting 4th in that race! Then Sunday I was more relaxed because points were not on the line. When I qualified 4th for the Open I was pretty excited. By the end of the race I worked up to 2nd.
I was not a bad weekend for a young kid from WI. Ended up overall for the weekend with 4th in the Finals, 2nd in the Open, 5th in Points, and Rookie of the Year.
I would like to say a big thanks to Al Meinker(Lawn Monkey) for towing my mower down to the event so I was able to participate in the Ohio experience. Not only him but also Paul, Tommy, Charles, Rooster, Shannon, and anyone else that has helped me out this year.
