The Main Event---Washougal MX!

The last stop on our trip was the Washougal Motocross on Saturday.  This is why we took the trip in the first place.  Wayne and I used to make the trip by ourselves but last year we took the kids.  And this year, we made it longer by going to the coast.  We are already planning next year with Stewart's.

Since most of you probably are not into motocross like we are, so I'll keep my descriptions basic!

Look at the hole shot that the #2 got. This is moto 1 and he kept the lead the whole time.




The #1 kept a close second in moto 1 but would take moto 2 and the overall.


The #22 didn't get a good start.  I think he ended up finishing seventh in moto 1.  He did better in moto 2.  He didn't seem to be on his game this weekend.  It's amazing how fast these guys are even on a bad weekend.


The #41, Trey Canard, is probably my personal favorite right now. During the supercross season, he had a freak accident and broke his femur. He hasn't been racing for a while. This was his second race back. In moto 1, he took third.


The #32 is from Idaho!  We keeps tabs on him.


This is the #41 on the medical cart.  At the beginning of moto 2, another freak accident took him out.  Since the accident was so severe, they red flagged the race.  It was pretty obvious that he was in a lot of pain.  They loaded him straight into the ambulance.  Rumors are that he re-broke his leg.  Since they were only a couple of minutes into the race, the restarted moto 2.


This is moto 1 in the lites class.  Smaller bikes, but still great racing.


This is #28, Tyla Rattray.  He is Ellie's favorite.  I'm not sure how he became her favorite.  He had a good day finishing 2/2 and a second overall.


Look! I got a picture of Jake's face and not his back!


Ellie and Wayne just enjoying the races.


On Sunday, we drove home.  It was a long day in the car.  I had to hurry and make my last posts of the trip before life at home got busy again.  Now I'm off to do some laundry and catch up on a week of being gone.
