Sorry folks, there will be nothing fancy about this post. I am sick, sick, sick!!!! In fact, I didn't even go to work today -- Monday - which is a super big deal for me!! I can't remember the last time I missed work because I was sick!! I hope it is not the FLU!!! YUCK!!!
Anyway, this weekend was ahhhmazing for both my kiddos!!!! Hannah got the holeshot, but then dropped back to second when she came through scoring...only behind by 8 seconds. When she came through the next lap she was ahead by about 20 seconds and then she continued to widen the lead each lap. When she made her pit stop she was ahead by over a minute. She had a wreck on the way into scoring on the last lap, but still was able to hold a respectable lead at 1:38!!! So proud of my baby girl and her first win of the season. She has been getting faster and building more confidence every race.
Noah also got the holeshot in a most eventful start...they were all bumping bars and making contact and he shot across the first turn completely sideways. I actually thought he wrecked, but he held onto it. After the motocross section he came across the first field in third place, but by the time he came into scoring he was second. The guy that was in first is a super fast A rider, but he hasn't raced in 4 years, so he signed up in B class. He is not running for points, but Noah was still hungry for another "W" so he pushed hard through the whole race. Every lap he was shaving off the distance between him and first place and by the last lap he came through in first. I love love love that boys determination and tenacity. He has such a confidence about him that I am so proud of.
Obviously, I didn't race-- I just did a lot of coughing and hacking, but I did get the chance to take pictures of both races-- something I don't normally get to do. When I feel a little better I will edit the pictures and put together a movie for you guys.
Until then, have fun and be safe -- Crystal
Meet the Stephens Family -- a family dirtbike racing team comprised of father, Kenneth, mother, Crystal and two teenagers Noah (18) and Hannah (17) Behind the Bars is a play on words to add a humorous spin to the many, many hours our family actually spends behind the (handle) bars of our bikes and the time we spend behind the bars in the gym. I hope you enjoy our many crazy adventures as you follow us on our journey through life -- one harescramble race at a time.
