Long Race Weekend

This past weekend we spent every waking hour at the track racing. We started Friday night at 6:00 pm and didn't get home until 11:30 pm, returned back at 2:30 pm on Saturday and returned home at 10:30 pm and then returned at 9:00 am on Sunday morning and finished at 1:30 that afternoon. Needless to say my little family of racers wore themselves out.

These first 3 photos are during practice, I am trying to figure out how to get better pictures of the kids racing until I can afford a nice camera, these were the best 3 our of the dozen I took. I also used Randy's phone to take a bunch of video of most of their races this weekend. The videos are uploaded to you tube if you want to go watch them. They are under the account sk8rboi1414, but here is a link to one of them.
We also met a member of the KAOS Colorado team this weekend. Her name was Fallon Ward and she did an excellent job. Thanks for coming and checking out our track this weekend. Hopefully we will be able to go to Colorado and meet the rest of her team in the near future.
Sunday Racing went as follows: Randy Cruiser 5th, "JoDrama" 3rd, "XXX" 2nd, Randy 2nd and "The Bear" 1st. This gave "The Bear" his seventh 1st place. He needs one more win to move up to the Intermediate class. We would like to thank all of you who have came and braved the cold temperatures to help support our Racing hobby.

Saturday, they had a memorial lap for a fellow racer that died a few weeks ago. His family also paid for any 28 and older rider who wanted to ride in the open class, so Randy took advantage of this and rode in the 28+ Open. Their was about 36 riders that signed up and Randy finished about 25th. He also registered to start racing in the 35-40 Cruiser races also. He finished in 5th place for cruiser, not bad for his first night of racing these guys. The rest of the racing finished as follows: "XXX" 5th, "JoDrama" 3rd, Randy 3rd and "The Bear" 1st.

Friday night the ending results of racing were: "XXX" 7th, "JoDrama" 4th, "The Bear" 3rd and Randy 2nd.
This weekend we had the opportunity to meet the BMX Olympic Silver Medalist (Mike Day). The kids all got his autograph, but I didn't get a chance to get their picture with him. His manager took a few minutes to raffle off a few prizes from his sponsor GT Bicycles and then commented on what an awesome job Utah is doing for the BMX community. He said that majority of the tracks he has visited over the last few years have been averaging about 25 motos for a local single point race night, but we exceed that count almost every night. Friday night we had 50+ motos, Saturday had 60+ motos and Sunday had 40+ motos. This is a good thing because it gives our kids more competition.
