Nedra's Notes

 
First let me thank every rider that attended our last race.  Welcome to all of you that made this your first race ever.  We had so many new people racing for the first time.  It was very exciting to watch you all become part of our racing family.  The junior racing was so rewarding to watch.  I hope to see many champions come out of this group.  We also saw some fantastic racing from some very seasoned racers.  They are a great example to the younger racers and new comers.
Now that the weather is heating up be sure to hydrate yourself properly.  Make sure you drink one bottle of water  and a bottle of Gatorade/Powerade an hour.  You may want to water down your sports drinks 1/2 water 1/2 sports drink.  Be sure to eat some kind of fruit often during the day.  Bananas, grapes, cut melon cubes are easy to munch on and are easy on your stomachs.  I know many of you find it hard to eat on race day but please try to nibble on some kind of chips or pretzels or something salty and crunchy.  When it gets really hot I know it is difficult to eat but you have to give your body the fuel it needs.
Please take a minute and thank the Desert Steel Motorsports staff when you get a chance.  Also, give the scoring girls a thank you and Melody up in the scoring trailer.  It is a very difficult job that they are doing.
If you have not been to the BBQ that River Rat Racing puts on Saturday nights you are really missing a lot of fun.  They have the most amazing big screen set up on the beach with chairs all around.  Just the great hamburgers and hot dogs are a treat but watching jet ski racing on big screen tv on the beach that we just raced on is an amazing experience!!  I am personally inviting all of you to join us.  In all my years of being involved in racing I have never seen anyone extend hospitality like this.
 
WHAT A GREAT FAMILY WE HAVE IN EACH OTHER!!!!
