Re: Mom Looking for strategies to help my son place better.

Thanks guys for all your help! I look forward to next year now that I am armed with the right strategies ya'll taught me.

I was nervous days before and through the night of the race. My "pink parent car" also did very well.

With sincerity,
MOMDerby to four young ones, 9, 7, 5, and 3.
