Rewards from the barn


Pictures of the Nate's cool coat and number plate.

Today we went to the track for the last day of racing at the barn. For all the racers who raced every week or missed just one week got a jacket and a number plate. Nate only missed one week to race in Indiana and I missed 2 times one in Indy and one race for the broken ribs. So Nate got the cool coat and number plate. You should have seen his eyes when they called his name to get the coat, it was really cool. My parents came and watched on their way back to Rhinelander and got to see Nate race and get the coat. They really enjoyed the day at the races watching the 2 of us race.

Nate had another good day as he won age class again and just missed out getting into the cruiser main again. He blew the others away in age and I'm hoping that it will carry over to the Nationals. He can take these guys from any gate that he gets. He won his first moto from gate 2 and then had gate 8 for the main and just blew by the others like they were standing still. He has got a great gate start and is just stronger then the other kids from the start to finish. Thanks to Ron and the others who have helped him get better.

I took a third again in my cruiser. I'm getting closer to them but they just have the years and track time in that beats me. Maybe after a few weeks at the track in Rockford and the track being longer I may be able to catch and pass a few and do a little better. Going to go to Rockford Sunday and see how that track is and then maybe a few more

Nate loves that coat and wears it to school and had it hanging in his room for a while to look at it. He worked hard and I'm glad he was able to earn one this year.
