Chris and I had so much fun at a Halloween Party that we went too...

Our original idea that we were going to go as was a couple of nerds (we figured we could come up with something that we already had at home) Well after just browsing some shops we ended up changing our costumes completely! Chris went as "IRON MAN" and i went as a chick from the 80's we had alot of fun putting these costumes together. The best part is, i used a jacket that my mom use to wear!! Here's some pics

Race Season Is OVER!

We finished our race season with a great final race in Atlanta Georgia! It was a great race too! The winner of the 2008 Jetta TDI cup was Josh Hurley!
He really deserved the win too, he raced hard this season and had no support from his family.
He walked away with $100,000 a chance is race in the pollo cup in Germany,
he also gets to be a guest race car driver in another race in Germany.
Chris and all the guys worked so hard this season especially the last 3 weeks he was gone and only home for 3nights! They traveled from Iowa-New Jersey- Georgia without a day off!
Each weekend they worked from 4-5 in the morning till 12:30 at night!
I am so proud of all the guys they really did go above and beyond at every race. Sleep was not an option for these guys. They finished off this season with a really nice banquet and really showed appreciation to all the Techs, because with out them this team would not be here today.
They gave each Tech a personalized Tork Wrench with there name on it. It was really fitting for each guy. Here are some pics from Georgia

He would sleep anywhere....
