Saturday Mark, Ethan and I headed to Montezuma for a dirt bike race. Mark hadn't raced for a year and was excited to compete again! I knew it would be a long day so we left Amelia and Elijah home with a babysitter, THANKS HEIDI! As I suspected it was a long day, they ran 28 different classes of bikes & quads, plus we had a long rain delay. Since there were so many races Mark decided to race in two classes, the OPEN B (intermediate riders of all ages, mainly teens) and the +30 B/C & A (guys over the age of 30, B is intermediate, C-amature, A-expert class).

Mark getting taken out by a teenager that turned into him on the first lap of the OPEN B. Not what you want to see on the first race of the day. Thankfully he only banged up his elbow and was able to finish the race.

Mark & another guy battling it out for first place in the +30 B/C class. Mark had to play catch up after locking handle bars with another rider at the start of the race. He went from last place to first place in three laps passing 12 riders. He ended up with 1st place in both moto's and recieved a nice plaque.
