It's a bittersweet time, Christmas is coming, lots of excitement in the house. My 10 year old son is ready, my 8 year old daughter is beyond ready! Even got the Wife a 26" Beach cruiser for Christmas this year! (at my daughters urging) now we can all go ride together... 

In April, when I showed my son a GoPro vid of a guy at our local track, he was instantly all in! "I WANT TO DO THAT!" he said... I couldnt have been happier. See, in the 80's I raced BMX and it was the best time I ever had at any of the sports I'd tried at the time, and it was my fondest memories growing up. However, I strayed... Got older, Gained weight... A LOT! But over the last year I've lost over 100 lbs!!! In June, After much prodding from some of the older guys at the track (one of which forced a 26" dirt jumper on me! lol) I called my Dad out in Cali, told him i was thinking of jumping back in... I know, I'm 42... calling Dad for advice... But the advice was priceless. "DO IT!" he said. "YOU'LL GET OLD SOON ENOUGH!"

That's it! I was off and running!!! Next tyo this post is a pic of "Barnett Racing", me and my son, at our local track, LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT! I wouldn't trade it for the world!

But now its WINTER!!! BOOOOO!!!! Local Track is closed for the season... Is it April Yet?!?!?! Oh well, back in to the garage... Get ready for 2017... HOLY CRAP!!! BLUEGRASS NATIONALS IS ONLY 6 WEEKS AWAY!!! GOTTA TRAIN!!!!
