As part of the Best of the West series, Dylan participated in the second of three motocross events today. Aunt Dorothy, cousin Jenni, Uncle Dave and Aunt Clare were troopers and made the excursion with us.

The day started off very early. We left our house at 6:45a and drove to Racetown in Adelanto, CA. Arriving around 8:30a, we quickly set up camp and got Dylan signed up in 2 different races for the day.

The Best of the West class consists of desert racers only. Since Dylan had never ridden at Racetown and is not a seasoned motocross racer, we signed Dylan up in a second class. This second class was part of a motocross points series consisting heavily of pure motocross racers. Racing in the secondary class gave Dylan the chance to become familiar with the track prior to his series race for which he would receive points. Each of the two classes had two heat races consisting of 5 or 6 laps each. Within 3 laps of the motocross series race, Dylan fell into a groove and finished mid-pack against the MX racers. Not too bad for a desert guy!

Dylan placed first in both of the BOTW heats and walked away with the first place trophy. Because he took first place at Starwest and Racetown BOTW events, we are not committed to attend the Rovers I-5 event on the 17th.

Overall, the day was a long, hot one. We all put in about 11 hours of our day to be with Dylan - most of it in 108 degree temperatures. Again, it was worth it to see Dylan do so well! Needless to say, we are all exhausted from the day's event!
