| Update: April 9, 2005. Mottville Speedway's opening race of the season. Kathy took 2nd place in the first heat, 1st place in the 2nd heat. At the start of the feature, a new driver spun directly in front of Kathy, and she was unable to miss him. Not too much damage, but it blew the fuse for the ECM, so she was unable to finish the race. I'm confident that she would have had 1st or 2nd if not for the accident. |
| April 16, 2005. After a number of repairs this week we were ready to go! We found a vacuum leak, and a leaking brake line so I fixed those. Also installed new plugs and wires. Kathy took 2nd in her heat. Then checked out and left in the feature, winning by about 3/8 lap!! It sure was a happier ride home this week!! |

| July 31, 2005, my grandson, Brandon's 14th Birthday. We took him to Rapid Raceway in Angola, IN where he rode the go-karts 7 or 8 turns, he had a blast!! Then, on to Mottville Speedway where Grandma (Kathy) proceeded to win the Dash, the Australian Pursuit, the Heat, and the Mid-Season Championship Feature, all 4 of her races!! It was the first time Brandon had watched Kathy race, and she managed to win every race! This was a very special day for all of us!! This is the only time Kathy won all 4 of her races in 1 day!! Kathy ended the year with 37 Checkered Flags!! Kathy won 15 A-features out of 23 tries!! Plus she had 22 preliminary race wins (dashes, heats, Australian Pursuits)! |
