What a great night!
The whole family really miss BMX racing for sure, esp coming off of nights like this. Great, GREAT track! It's refreshing to actually not worry about the next obstacle but to worry how I'm going to pass the guy in front of me. Legacy has built a 100% winner in my opinion.
- Props to the hard working volunteers that make this a good time. Good to see Dan Patterson working hard even though his kids aren't out. Dedicated.
- The gate starter was a real Pro, slowed it down when needed, esp when dealing with the little racers. Don't know his name.
- Olymipic Day is just flat out awesome. Our family saved like $50 bucks for the night. We ended up making a late night, after 11pm stop at Artic Circle for some shakes with our extra $$$.
- Even though I was signed up for cruiser I wasn't going to race it but was literally forced to by Stout & Argyle to get on bike & race 2nd moto. Thanks for watching our kids while d & I raced.
- 5 & under Novice had semis. My son was hauling butt in practice but pulled his "just happy to be here" in the motos, lol. One thing I need to do is make him a balance start gate so he can get that down before he turns 6 in Nov. My daughter had her first real Strider race too, man, we are turning into the Newkirks.
- Really nice talking at length with Matt S, Baumgart, TJ Stulz(!), Heather Edwards & Curtis Barton.
Hopefully our family life is going to calm down after the 4th of July & we will be able to make it out a few more times.
