It's hard to believe that another racing season is starting to wind down. We are hoping for a long Indian summer so that Alex can get out on his bike as much as he likes, not that a little foot of snow has stopped him from riding before! (We have to check into those studded snow tires for his bike!) He is basking in the glow from the two big Redline Cup trophies in his room, they aren't for first place but he couldn't care less about that. He made a very strong showing in his class both days, including racing 6 motos on Sunday morning, then promptly fell asleep with his slushy from Sonic in his lap and his hand firmly grasped onto the top of a trophy in the car next to him. Very telling and very Alex.

He has some training to do over the winter time to get him in shape for joining the 6I class in the spring which just gets stronger and bigger all of the time. Dad is working on getting him another new bike for next year when he might just be joined on the track by his little sister, that would make him very proud.

Alex has joined the Mini Militia team out of Colorado Springs, he's excited to see what this coming year will bring with his new teammates and some old friends on the team with him. Thanks to Mark and Jamie for their support and backing and to Deb and Brennan for believing in Alex.

Again, thanks to everyone who has supported and encouraged Alex this year, even if all you did was go out there and display excellent sportsmanship to set a good example. These little kids are truly watching all of the time and it is so very important to stay positive for their sake. It's still all about having fun.

Happy Halloween!
