We attended the dirt bike banquet at the beginning of May. Let me just say, the Clayton racers showed up all season and racked up on some trophies at the end. As my mom put it, "it sounds like it was the Academy Awards of dirt biking!"
This SECCA series, that we are a part of, honors the top 3 riders in each class, all the way down to our little Sawyer's age.
They also recognize the overall top 10 racers.
Selfies with Aunt Jennifer before the banquet:
Seth's dream did indeed come true! He placed first in his class and he placed 10th over all. There are over a 100 riders, so my hubby still has it going on!! I love watching him do this hobby that he loves so much!

We had a dinner before the award ceremony. Seth, and all the other first place winners were asked to write something in the program. Seth wrote, "I want to thank Red, Stick and all of the workers for organizing such a great series! It has been a huge enjoyment to take my entire family to each race and watch our youngest son compete in the strider class, another son compete in the tadpole class and our oldest daughter compete in the ponytail class. My wife and I have enjoyed meeting other families and developing these new friendships. I have tremendous respect for all of my Senior A Class competitors who are all good men and not showing any signs of slowing down!"
I really don't know if the organizers of this series have any idea of how thankful Seth really is. I know he has told them thanks so many times. Before this series was organized, all the dirt bike races were held on Sunday. It was so frustrating for Seth. He would say, "what's the point in even practicing when you can't race!" Then these two men came along who believed in racing on Saturdays and the SECCA Series was born. It has grown into a pretty big series and Seth is able to race pretty much year round. |
