July 2010

Well I have certainly not forgotten about the old blog, I've just been very busy here lately.
Kody graduated a while back, then 2 weeks later my daughter, Brittany was married. Between those two milestones, plus all the other curve balls life throws ya, the blog has been a little neglected!

We have been doing some racing though. Kody was till trying to get to Loretta's and there's an outside chance he may make it this year. He's currently on the alternate list in 450A/ProSport and we're keeping our fingers crossed. The regional wasn't his best showing, starts really hurt him, and the fact he hadn't ridden much lately didn't help either.

Right after the regional he join Elite Fitness at Princeton and has been working out 4-5 times a week with his cousin, Damon. Damon will be joining the Marines in August and has wrestled since he was knee high and is in wonderful shape. He's been pushing Kody pretty hard and he's ridden a lot here in the past 3 weeks as well.

Did get up to Princeton the other night for the annual Fair race. Team 186, aka Steve and Alex Hunter put the event on again this year. Oh, there was the usual bitching about the track, but honestly, it's the same for everyone, so just ride!

Unfortunately it came a huge storm about 4 moto's in, and everything came to a halt. Lightening lit up the skies for about an hour, but racing eventually resumed. They gave the "Pro" classes the option of getting their entry fee's back and a big majority did so, including my rider.

Here is a link to the Gibson pictures, and I'll promise to keep up a little more here!
