We all made it home safe and sound!
I don't even know where to start...what an amazing adventure this last week has been! Actually it probably has to go back to them getting announced they won the trip in Detroit...all the excitement, planning, fundraising, drama, fun, and bonding! I can truly say this is an amazing group of kids! They can go from laughing and joking to serious to a difference of opinions back to laughing and joking in a matter of minutes! Thank you to everyone who supported them in anyway!!! They couldn't have done it without you!

Isaac finished 3rd in the race! He started in 6th position  (out of 8)! I am so proud of this team!!! They have done amazing! Thank you so much to all our families, sponsors, and cheerleaders! Without you this would not have been possible! This was an experience of a lifetime!
Isaac drove fabulous!!! He came in second in his heat! Now we are all on pins and needles waiting for the final competition!!! I am shaking so bad I am having a hard time typing!!!
Isaac got to have 1 lap around the track as a practice run. He started out in 6th position and finished in 1st!!! The excitement is pretty high here!!! However we just found out the dang peak flow meter did not work so we do not know how much fuel he used. They also had a problem with this thing in Detroit so hopefully they can get it figured it out soon and Isaac will do it again!!!
Good morning from London!!! Today is race day - the day we have been waiting for! We have had some questions as to why I haven't been posting very much...I have to apologize! For some reason I can not post pictures from an apple device so I have to wait til we are with the boys and can use my phone that Logan has before I can post pictures. So I will do a quick word only update. They have made 2 qualifying runs to be able to compete this afternoon. The first one was 538 and the second was 553. Both of these were better then their winning run and North American Record in the Detroit! They have done others - but these are the ones that mattered!!! They made a few changes and went out to test but the flow meter had issues so we had to wait for the people in charge to come and check it out. So now we should be ready to go today! Last night we all went together on the London Eye. This morning we all started packing up, making sure we all had room for our souvenirs and then heading to the track. Good luck today and whatever happens this has been an amazing experience!!!!

A different view of the first run today!





 So...this competition is a little unorganized! They decided that runs this morning would count as qualifing runs. The run they completed was this cars' best run ever with 536 mpg!!! Amazing!!!
Discussing the game plan for the next run this afternoon!
