Texas Off Road Nationals - Race #2

[David Bailey]

My son raced his 2nd TORN race (actually 2nd race ever) this weekend. Very challenging course at Meridian, Texas. He finished #20 out of 28 starters. He had finished 15 last month, so he was a little miffed. I keep telling him that this season is all about finishes... he doesn't like that! :D

Turned 15 during race weekend.

Got a little "air" during the race. (I think mom closed her eyes.)
