{Due to multi bike issues we had to miss round 3 this past weekend unfortunatly} We will be back in action this weekend for the Triple Crown Series in Austin, TX.
This is our latest update as posted on the other thread:
Mini Rocketman Racing Report: 2 weeks ago...
This weekends race was Round 2 of the AMA FMF Honda of Houston Texas Winter Series held at Freestone on the National Pro Track. It was also the first event in 2008 for Bailey and Hudson Plouffe riding for Team RDF.

I will post some pics soon as I get them in. I found one of Hudson with RDF stickers visible. Follow link. http://www.photofinale.com/ladywithc...0458/view.aspx

Bailey ended up 11th in the open 65cc 6-11 class and Hudson 13th in the 7-9 class 50cc. This was the overalls! By far this is the toughest series we have ever seen, all the kids are lightning fast and the tracks are rough and tough. Bailey Blew up his lower bearing on the NEW 08 KX race bike in Practice and was forced to run his Practice RM in the race. There had to be qualifiers for the 65cc class moto one with so many kids. Bailey finished in 6th in moto 1 so no consi and was off to moto 2 and with a full gate of 40 he finished 12th in the final. I (DAD) am still exhausted!

Next race/round is at Oak Hill at the end of the month.
best regards,
Joel Plouffe

Both Bailey and Hudson did great!! They had
fantastic main events both nights and came home with 4 trophies each!!
Bailey had another first place in the Open class which gave him a
1st-2nd-2nd-3rd main event finishes over all on the weekend. I am so proud as he did it with out hitting the bigger doubles some of the other kids were hitting. He was lightning fast on the ground. Bailey is one of the fastest kids in the corners and super smooth.

Hudson nailed his first hole shot EVER in his Saturday heat, then followed it up
with another in the main event (he must have liked that feeling) and finished a strong 2nd in the 50 SR class on Saturday. On the weekend Hudson had a
2nd-3rd-3rd-5th main event finishes. Hudson shocked every
one!! Once he got that hole shot he let go and beat kids that
normally beat him. I could tell he liked that HOLESHOT feeling! Good job Huds.

Some of the kids parents said wow, look at Hudson go! We could
not believe 6 yr old Huds was blowing the doors off these SR kids.
I knew he had it in him..may be he is just an indoor guy.

Thanks for the pics Ian, its about time we were able to post some. I should have more coming.:thumb :thumb
