1900

I drove to the Disneyland resort listening to AC DC Back in Black CD. Some music to get me fired up to turn 27 laps and reach 1900 for the year. I was lucky and came into the park with the Extra Magic Morning guests at 7am. Turned 4 laps before regular crowd came in at 8am.

From 8am until 12 noon, I was able to ride 18 more times, with a little help from Katie. Then the ride was cycled without riders because the audio animatronics were not working. Still need 3 laps to reach 1900. 

Then at 1:20pm I turned lap 1900. Only 100 more to 2000. I plan to reach the 2000 mark on Monday November 17th.

On Monday October 20th, I was able to turn 25 laps at Radiator Springs Racers. From 7:15 am to 12:30pm. 

I went home and changed into a suit and tie for the Disneyland Halloween Party. I dressed as Walt Disney. I got the idea from Katharine Forman from Racers.

I was waiting for my friends, Ken and Sandra White to meet me at The Pizza Port. Minnie Mouse was taking pictures. I went to get a photo and she recognized me as Walt and gave me a big hug.

The rest of the evening, a lot of cast members saw I was dressed as Walt. Some of the comments included, " Look busy, the boss is here." "The best costume here". A lot of of people called me Walt all night long. I really had a lot of fun. Even a Stormtropper gave me a thumbs up. And I got over 10 pounds of candy.

1800

Got on the 2nd car out of the station at 8:10am. Amos was grouping and Ivan at Belts.

I'm going to keep track of Grouper and Belts today. I also need 27 laps to reach 1800 for year.

The Grouper assigns the passenger to the cars and rows for that car. They also may need to check heights on kids that may not be tall enough to ride.(40 inches)

Belts makes sure all seat belts are secured on the guests. These are 2 of the busiest jobs at Racers.

On lap 2, Amos was Grouper and Ruth at Belts.

Lap 3, Bob was Grouper. After assigned a row, the ride broke down. When it started back up, 10 minutes later, Ruth was at Belts.

1700 STATS

Here are my updated statistics for 1700 laps on Radiator Springs Racers.

Overall record is 862 wins and 838 losses.

On Luigi's side for race the record is 416 wins and 418 losses

On Ramone's side the record is 446 wins and 420 losses.

Now by color of car:

Silver: 144 wins 133 losses

Yellow: 127 wins 109 losses

Teal: 119 wins 143 losses

Red: 112 wins 120 losses

Cranberry: 111 wins 94 losses

Blue: 90 wins  90

Green: 84 wins 92 losses

Purple: 73 wins 58 losses

So Ramone seems to be the better side for the race and the colors Silver, Yellow, Purple, and Cranberry are the better colors to ride.

Of course everything is random and you can not predict if you will win or lose the race.
