From Duluth to Milwaukee!

Garth's first race was last weekend. He never ceases to amaze me. He had a couple rough qualifiers in the stock class.
In his first qualifier-his goggle strap broke and he had to pull off the track for a new pair (w/out goggles you get disqualified, safety issue). Luckily his mechanic is on top of it and had a spare pair in his backpack. He still managed to pull a 6th place finish out of that one. Then in his final-he had to start in the second row but powered through lap by lap and finished in 3rd, less than a second behind 2nd!
Podium left to right: Dan Ebert (2nd), Tucker Hibbert (1st), Garth (3rd)

In Garth's Open final he had terrible visibility, so wisely chose to play it safe and ended up 8th at the checkered.
Today he's in Milwaukee, WI for round 2 of the AMSOIL circuit. Palmer and I stayed home to cheer from behind the computer screen. Then we'll be on our way back to Idaho for the holidays with family.
