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!!!!
