Good: Last weekend my son had another race out near Wendover, Nevada.Both my boys were there, my hubby & my dad. We camped out together even thought it was for a very short time. As bedtime came early friday night as it was going to be a very early morning. Everyone got up around 4am.
One son was going to race and the other son was working at a spot out on the course to make sure everyone followed the rules! Racers had to be on the starting line at 5:45am. (some people didn't get the memo, heck, the sun didn't even want to come up that early!!
After 138 miles of racing, my son finished 1st and he was the 2nd over-all racer. He started 11th off the start line. (they start 1 at a time and leave every 30 seconds) He had a fantastic race!!! 
The Bad: This guy was pitted next to us & was from Las Vegas. He was about 30 miles out & hit a ditch of some kind, breaking off his front wheel. Several guys had a bit of bad luck this day.Also, bad was the freezing weather friday night & saturday morning. Once in awhile my dad & I would head back to the trailer to warm up. Thank goodness the sun finally came out & started to warm things up. The wind was blowing, but it was finally dying down. After the race, we were able to settle down in lawn chairs & watch the buggies & trucks race. It was turning out to be a nice day (weather wise)
The ugly. As we all were seated outside waiting for more fun, my dad get's a phone call. My mom has taken a tumble out on the street & cracked her head. The ambulance arrived & gave her a ride to the hospital...( Ok mom, u out rode the guys as you got lights & sirens during your race). LOL. Thank goodness my daughter in law was home & she drove over to be with my mom at the emergency room. She has no idea how much I appreciate that or her. I was afraid my mom was going to be by herself & then never let us leave her alone again. My DIL is a blessing!!!
For Mothers Day, my brother is sending her a motorcycle helmet and I may end up getting her some elbow & knee pads. Hopefully the doctor will release her today.
I'm on my way over there now to see how she's doing.
