A couple of weeks ago, we headed down south to Primm, NV where we met up with my brother, sister in law, nephew & a few friends. We were there to support Antonio for his WORCS Race. We had a fun time together. It's was cold & the forcast said snow & rain, but we lucked out & only had a few sprinkles. It really wasn't to bad at all.
My brother hauled up his 5th wheel & we stayed at Whiskey Pete's. We BBQ'd Carne Asada friday night outside & it finally got to cold , so we decided to kick around in the trailer for awhile. Tonio went to bed early, but I think he was really just trying to get warm, so Coy & I headed off to our nice toasty room (which also included a nice HOT shower!)
Saturday morning started out cold, but no rain like Mr. Weatherman had reported on the 10PM news friday night.(Thank goodness.)
All prepped & ready to go, Tonio went down & got on the starting line.
He had some competition!!
He was off....5th and then 4th right at the turn to go out into the desert.
Go,go,go!
They raced for 50 mins. and when the checked flag fell, Antonio finished 3rd!! And what does that mean?? Podium baby!! They called his name & up on the box he went. Now be prepared winners, as top finishers, fans want to hear what you have to say about the race! Have your speech ready!!!
Unlike the winners at the Oscars who have to be forced off the stage, these kids mumble a word or two & then run!!! They are not afraid of speed, but they sure are afraid of microphones!!
Here's the proud racer who did thank his Tata & Nana on the podium, you just didn't hear him.
As we all said our good-bye's & parted ways...my brother & his family headed south back to sunny California & we headed north to....SNOW!!
This is the Gorge between Mesquite & St. George. I have never seen snow in the gorge!!
And here is what was waiting for us between St.Geo & Cedar City.
Just once when we go to a Primm Race, am I asking to much for some sunshine & 60 degree weather? Last year it poured rain on us the whole time!!!
