TORN Race weekend

so i added a new link in the links section that will take you to our family's web album. i also uploaded all the pics from the weekend to this spot for viewing pleasure. i've also received links from the hills & asklunds to their pics, but have not done anything with those yet.

race weekend was a blast!! barbara did a ton of driving to be there with us, and we enjoyed her company (and help with the kiddos) tremendously. the track was like nothing i have ever ridden / witnessed before, but it was a fun time. i had a couple stressful moments in my practice run, but pulled through for the actual race.... after a shot of rum, my fears subsided considerably. last out of the gate, but was able to pass two girls and pull in 2nd place!! craig was having issues getting the yfz to start intermmitantly through out the weekend. he stalled at the line up and was almost caught up to the 2nd place rider, but his quad stalled... atleast now he's got till spring to get his 4 wheeler working in tip top shape!! this is a great picture of craig roarin' through the woods.

can't wait till the spring so we can do it some more. i'm definitely hooked! there were professional riders there on sunday, and when it was their turn it started raining. kaetlyn and i rode around in the rain watching our friends and 'the scarecrows' (the pros) race. i tried to explain to kaetlyn what 'pros' are, but she didn't really get it, so i finally succumbed and pointed out all the 'scarecrows' as they blew by. there was even a lady scarecrow... very cool to watch a woman race against all the guys and get 2nd! fun stuff. check out the pics in the web albums.
