2013 VCHSS Dillwyn VA
Racing season has started back up again for the 2013 season. This is our second year doing wood racing and the boys are still loving it.
Our first race of the season was on March 24, at Central Va. Let just say this is a race we will never forget. It was a very interesting start to our racing season. Where to begin? Let's see.......
First on Friday night March 22, Keith was trying his hardest to get everything packed. He was testing the boys racing bikes out to make sure all was great, and guess what... Lane's bike would not run. So we are all in a panic and our SUPERHERO was on the job, he removed the plastics from Lane's original bike that he was supposed to race to his back up bike. All was good then back on schedule.
Woke up on Saturday March 23, and was getting ready to head out everything was going good and we were still on our schedule. Got about 10 miles from home and our truck decided it was to tired to carry us all the way to VA. After switching to our other truck we made it to the race.
BIG Thanks to some friends and a stranger passing by!
Boys had an awesome pre ride on Saturday and was able to hang with their racing buddies.
Woke up on Sunday March 24 and got the boys off to the starting line. This was probably the coldest race ever, temperature was about 30 degrees but these kids were ready to go.
Green flag drop and Lane was 7th out of the gate. Lane rode very very well and by the half way point he was leading the pack. He lead the rest of the race and by a good margin he finish First.
Gavin was the second out of the gate in his class of 25 racer. He was pushing hard. (maybe to hard) he hit a tree and fell back to the back of the pack but he was so determined and fast to gain his way all the way back up for a fifth place finish out of 25. AWESOME job Gavin!!!
Around 1 o'clock it started to snow so we packed up and headed home.
Over all it was a very testing weekend but it had a very fun and exciting ending.
