Well This has been an interesting year so far. Our Little Boy Turned 4 and Got to participate in his first ever Dirtbike Race.The Day Before I took him out to Pleasant Valley Raceway to practice. He rocked and rolled. He blows my mind every time i see this kid ride. When we got him this bike i had no idea how much Mitch would love it and take to it. I remember the day we brought it home. Ben tied a rope to the back and Mitch took off and Ben used every thing he had to keep him at bay. Once Mitch got the hang of it i thought it would be a yr before he could do this with out training wheels and to my surprise he did it in a few months, and racing... wow i was not ready for my little boy to take off. But i am so Proud of him. He is an amazing riding and an even more amazing kid.
Sunday March 11th was his actual raceday and he did Amazing! He thought he was so cool. Ben and Mitch got to OMC at 8am for registration. When i got there he was sitting on his bike all geared up waiting to race. As all the big boys started pulling in they were starting their bikes and getting them warmed up and of course Mitchell had to follow suit. so he started revving his engine to make some noise. When it came time to race there were only 2 boys in the Peewee class and then 3 others in a beginner 50cc class. Well Mitchell, of course thought he was racing all of them not just John. so to our surprise during the warm up as soon as that bar dropped Mitch Took off like no ones business and raced his little heart out. We however didn't have the heart to tell him that that was only practice. At the end of the day he got to do 2 races and Came in Second (also didn't have the heart to tell him it was only 2 kids racing) but i do have to say that he did give his new found friend John a run for his money, and overall I have never seen that boy so proud of himself. So now that Trophy is on display in the living room and anyone that comes to the house has to look at it or he won't leave them alone. Cant wait for his next race. I am sure he will do just as well and only get better.
