You know the drill, it's time to get ready for the upcoming race weekend. Get the bike or bikes prepped, get the trailer packed and ready to go. Drive to the track, unpack and hit the track for practice. Talk about the track, the bike, the competition and strategy for tomorrows race. Do some grilling while the kids ride their bikes and look for mischief, visit with friends, enjoy the trackside scenery and try to get some winks before you hear that tractor start grooming way too early!
Boom, it's race day, it's hectic and before you know it, it's time to pack everything up and hit the road home. Yes, it's a crazy life we motocross families lead but without even realizing it, these years will go quickly and we will only be left with the memories, lots of laughs, stories and smiles on our faces. So, when things are in full swing next race weekend, take a moment.... actually several moments to take it all in, enjoy the heck out of it and tell your kids you love them, no matter what happened on the track. Because someday you'll look back and remember these were the best moments of your life.
