Blogger has changed things a bit again-I hope I can get this so it looks sort of ok! At any rate, our church youth group went to Hermiston, Oregon to watch one of our youth leaders race. It was so amazing fun--I was up on some rickety bleachers and didn't even NOTICE cuz I was cheering so hard for Brian. Well, then I did notice and grabbed the arm of the young man standing next to me! He was startled, but I didn't fall over!!!
The main main event was the racing of the 'big rigs'. These are semi trucks and are called Rolling Thunder and were very loud! Jon's favorite rig was this old black truck-super cute. For a semi!
Blue #2 is our Brian!!!! Go, Brian, Go!!!!!
One of the spectator's brought ear protection for their little one! Many of us needed it.
Brian didn't do so well in his time trials or the heat races, but when it came down to the main race, Brian blew past everyone! Brian races a super mini-before this race the minis raced and one little red car out ran everyone. He got to race with this group and we found out just how fast these little cars go! The little red car was in the dust of the super minis. It was incredibly exciting--The kids we took had a super time! (So did all the adults!)
Here is Brian climbing from his car-you can see his youngest daughter, Bea in back grinning like crazy!
Brian was awarded his trophy by Miss Oregon and a young 8 year old. Brian was humbled and amazed at the support that showed up at the races to watch him!
Here are the girls with their dad's trophy---everyone got to look at it!
