progress...

Hayden placed 4th in his first round. He has two more chances to get a 1st place finish. His second try is in 2 1/2 hours and 3rd try will be tomorrow. If he can get a 1st place finish in either of those 2 rounds he will race in the mains tomorrow. I won't be able to post again until we get home. Unless he takes the top prize, then I'll find a way to get it posted!!! See ya'll soon! Miss you Chan.
*update* unfortunately Hayden was unable to make the main event. He got 3rd place in rounds 1 and 2. He was very sad that he didn't win the 4 foot tall 1st place trophy, and even sadder to leave our hotel and Oklahoma. He asked if we could live there, too funny. We had so much fun! Hayden worked his little tail off and pedaled his heart out! We are so proud of him! We bought him a cool trophy before we left town (just in case) which we gave to him afterwards. To congratulate his hard work and have a memory of the event! When he's older he'll probably figure it out, but oh well.

Been watching the feeds but I missed his 2nd moto! Wish I was there with you all!

Thanks, James. He is having a little trouble today. He finished in 3rd on his 2nd moto. Needless to say we are disappointed, but he is brand new at this...

Yes, he is new to all this - and still he has been doing so well. I am so happy/excited for him, hope he wasnt upset about not getting first. And there is still tomorrows moto, so he has another try.
