Weekend race

So, our plans for this past weekend was to head out to Las Vegas for a race.
That got cancelled, as my son could not get off work for the 3 days it would take for us to travel, race, travel again.
Then why not race down in Delta, as it's closer & we can camp out. Well the rain came & so did the cold. And once again, he couldn't get off work...well,finally we got the Official word Friday night! At 10PM!! He CAN race!!
I made a mad dash to Wally Mart & trailer was loaded & good to go at midnight.
Up at 5am, on the road by 6:30am. We get to the race course & everyone is coming up to us and saying "what r u doing here, your suppose to be in Vegas". Some guys were even saying "Dang, I thought I would at least have a chance at first without your son being here".(Yes,he usually finish's 1st or 2nd, but it's not a given.)
Everyone has now gone down to the starting line & my son is still not present. He pulls in last minute, jumps out of the van, runs into the trailer, puts on his racing gear,jumps on his quad, which his dad has waiting. Good to go!!
We had such a blast. The flag drop's & Chris got the hole shot.
(notice in the 2nd picture, Chris is already at the bottom of the hill & everyone is still on the top)


After an hour of racing, Chris does take the checkered flag for first.(He finished almost 2 minutes infront of 2nd place.) He gives a "thumbs up" to his fans at the finish line.



But after all that, guess who ends up with the trophy?? And check out his bike. It doesn't even have an engine in it. (yet)
