Exciting Sunday @ the Races

This being my first post, I'll just tell a little of what this is all about....My son, my "adopted son" and 3 of my grandsons started BMX racing this year. Never in a million years would I have thought I would so thoroughly enjoy this sport and become one of it's biggest fans, but I do and I am !!
One of the funnest things about this is seeing the little ones race...they give it so much heart and soul...Oh, all of the racers do, but the little guys and girls out there are so cute , with their fierce determination and innocent sense of fun....
Here are a few pics I got of the racing action this weekend at "South Park" BMX track in Pittsburgh...
The first is my oldest son and my " son from another mother" racing their hearts out against each other. There aren't too many guys in this class at their level locally, so they usually end up racing against each other even in a full gate....

Next is Grandson R, the oldest of this bunch of little racers...He had a great start to the day and looked as if he was gonna capture his "motos" but a nasty spill kinda took the wind outta his lungs and his sails for the day....he did get back on and ride the last 2 races, but he was extra cautious and not feeling very " competitive" , so he didn't place well, but oh well, I was just glad to see him keep at it !!



Then we see a good shot of Grandson N coming down off a small hill and heading for a turn , leading the pack ...He had a great showing Sunday in all his motos and ended with a 2nd place in the finals !!!



Last and CERTAINLY not least we have Granson A ... this little guy came outta the gate flying when he first started racing !! He is fast and determined and ready all the time !! He had a GREAT day also and led the pack in all the motos and fizzled just a hair , ending with a 2nd place in the finals, but what a day !! I'm just so happy to see these guys give it all they GOT !!
