What happens when I am at work and the kids get board

Post by rx71985 »

I got home after a very long hot humid day at work to find my boys 9 and 13 had decided to set up yet another slalom on the driveway. I tried to run it in my ML 320 but it was to tight. They have upgraded from the Huffy green machines to my 9 year old's 25hp Lawn tractor, ( they know better than to get out the RZR or the Honda 250x without me). A year to the day was the August 2019 BRR track sprint and my now 13 year old's 12th birthday. He still talks about the ride with Steffen in the Tundra helping setting up the course. So far this year has sucked for us as far as SCCA events due to having two high risk family members, but little things like a lawn mower slalom complete with my magnetic numbers stolen off my garage beer frig on the hood and the class LM (Lawn Mower) in tape just made me smile. I am still holding out hope to be back at some point this year, but until then I am happy to have a long private gravel driveway, a decent sized field, and a supposed to be rallycross car.

He was helpful with me setting up the course. Hopefully y'all can come out again soon and maybe sneak him for another ride. I'm all for starting then young and getting kids Involved early even if it's simple things like parade laps.
