First Ever In Club History!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I have been with the club since before either one of my knot heads (kids) were even born. I'm not sure but @ the Hallett round during the GROM race I got to race with both of my kids!! I think this is the first time in the history of the club that a father has raced with his son & daughter at the same time? I have raced all kinds of bikes over the years & had pretty much hung up my leathers for good but getting the chance to race with them was a no brainer! I had an absolute blast with the biggest smile on my face. I've never had as much fun as I did Saturday. A HUGE thanks to Dean Darnell for letting me use his GROM!

What a cool memory to have and share. Congrats Timo!
I raced against Brandon a few times when he was racing mini's. It was fun till he beat me :p

What an awesome memory!!

Soooo... who won? ;)

You know, Timo, when we gridded up I noticed that and wondered if that had been done before. Very cool.

Once upon a time there was a CMRA newsletter. I was the last editor and publisher of that newsletter. (I suppose that is a memory of its own.) The newsletter was killed in the name of solvency and budget, but since it's demise I have thought of several very neat concepts for articles. One of the things I've wanted to do was write an article on racers who have raced with their offspring in the same race at the same time. I've doing it now, as you know, Timo, but yours, indeed, may be the first with a father, son and daughter. There are many second generation racers, and that's a cool thing, but being in the same race at the same time? I can say that's just awesome.

I've been putting serious thought into writing an article on the topic and publishing it on my own. I'd like to know names of folks who have raced with their kids in the same race with the CMRA. Harry and Garet Tomlinson, Mark and Ryan Andrews, Sam and Tyler McDonald, Bill Adams and his boys Shawn and Daniel, David and Hope Dahms, David and Jacob Napier, you and Britten and Chandler, Raynie and her dear old dad are just some that come to mind with cursory thought. If you know more names, post them up here. Or maybe I'll make a post on my own, collect names, and then conduct interviews, take pix, and publish an article on my own. Or not. After all, who would want to read an article like that, right? I dunno, maybe just about everyone!

remember bud johnson and his two boys.
bud won daytona multiple times, set many track records and invented the internal combustion engine.

Who can forget the Johnsons? Bud is a legend. I invented fire and then seconds later he invented water. That put me in my place! And there is the epic Kier Johnson shin stone toss at the Bootcamp that, on its own, is legendary. Although that happened in 2011 or so, I think it's actually still taking place on random Friday nights. BYOB.

Keep the names coming!

Jose and Jimmy are another one. I remember there's a great picture of that as well.

All Very Cooool !!!!

Cool! Dig this thread, especially cuz I really want to get at least my nearly 3-yr-old son out there. Maybe I could make an endurance team with my 4 kids and wife in about 15 years and go for some record.

Yep, keep 'em coming!

No offense if I left anyone off my short list. I've had multiple concussions in the past...or so they say, 'cause I'd remember something like that if I did, right? :)

This is what it's all about. Keep the cool stories and scenarios coming.

Dustin and Wyatt Sperry and Danny and Dustin Dominguez.

That's really awesome. It's also cool you still race the same size bikes :)

You should do it! I can't wait till we can get The Dude on the track.

Best memory, racing in mini endurance AGAINST each other!
Nick had a faster bike, cough. cough......

Because I fight this all the time, I pray for rain. :biggrin:

Bryan and Brandon Altmeyer, Alex and Mike Humphries, David and Ashley Wilson, Austin and Aaron Gore, Cosmo and Keith Hertell. All who either raced against each other in the same race or together on an endurance team or both.

I believe also Justin and Will Boldt.

More weight, more traction - right?!

This will never happen for me. While watching MotoGP at Misano (on TV) two weeks ago my oldest son (who is 8) looked up from his iPad in time to watch Lorenzo crash.
"Dad, is motorcycle racing dangerous?"
"Well, yes it can be. Some times you can get hurt. Some times badly"
"I am never doing that daddy because I am way smarter than you".
His mother enjoyed this little exchange just a bit too much. Enjoy Timo!

Ha! They know motorcycle racers are out of their minds.

It only happened once but it was one of the best days of my life:

9 Mr. Corder Racing 25 Hon XR100 Dallas, TX 17 Christoper Corder, Tad Murley, Stephen Corder

Michael Chiniewicz and his two kids, Andrea and Alexander raced a mini-endurance team for a number of seasons a few years ago.

I hope to be part of the club in the next few years. My son had done some track days before heading off tho the Navy. Those days are nearing an end in a couple years and his plans are to move back to the area and eventually race.

I wish there was a way to just add a tab on this web site and make it a digital type newsletter. Hearing all these stories is pretty cool.

Correct! Same with David Branyon (dad), Thomas Branyon (son) and Rachel Branyon (daughter). I know that these families shared an endurance bike, but I'm not sure they were ever on the track in the same race and racing against/with each together at the same time. If they were or if they weren't, this is still interesting stuff.

The list grows. I had the chance to race with my son Kevin @ MSR Houston in 2013 on the CBR 250 and race in another division (F5) @ Eagles Canyon while Kev was on the F4 bike for an endurance . Like Steve said the F4 was a bit faster. LOL... Matter of fact Nicky was Kevin's teammate that day @ Eagles.

Good times for sure.

me and my dad. do I get bonus point for lapping the old man? :blueflag:

It would be great to have a historian for stuff like this. I've always wondered who the oldest woman was that raced with CMRA. Nobody I've asked really seems to know. We need to start documenting fun stuff like this ... these stories are really great!!

Did your buddy Dennis tell you we met last night? Figure that's why I'm on your mind...more than usual.

Nope. I just saw you were online so I figured the chances of you seeing that were better than normal. I had a buddy of mine tell me that he met Hector not too long ago; does that count? My work has a motorcycle outreach program and the girl that works those events tells me she meets people that know me all the time. haha. I'm kind of a big deal I suppose.
-Cody

My son David and I. Head to head at Oakhill and Cresson, '02 to '04 ish. He stuffed me at Cresson where NOBODY passes on his 125 and went on to beat me. I was on my 400. I have an old 8mm video of him and i at Oakhill, shot and narrated by the great Chuck Mccoy. Believe Chuck and Bentley raced against/with each other. Gary Sinclair and his sons Daniel and Stephen. Perhaps Chase Vivion and his dad Scott. Good times for sure, a lot of great memories.

Historian. Heh. Well, I'll tell you a story. On second thought, I won't.

I can think of several women in various areas of their 40s who have raced with us over the years I've been around. Some are now. I'll have to go back further and think harder if anyone female older comes to mind. Many say it's not polite to ask a woman's age, so in some cases, I'm not wholly sure.

I am very proud that at that age of 53 I still have the passion, determination and agility to get out there and race. And I don't plan to stop any time soon. Of course my season was cut short this year because of this stupid broken collar bone but I'll be back out there again in 2016. I have to be ... Shandra says that I'm a real racer now :301:

Right. I have always been too cheap to actually own 2 functioning race bikes to allow us to race against each other, but Thomas and I ran many mini endurance races together and Rachel joined in for a few there at the end. Might even have had two family teams competing against each other if Linz had Raynie on his team at one of those events.

Did TMGP too. One of my favorite memories was riding back from Katy on the first weekend that Thomas bested my laptime on the NSR50 (you wanna talk power to weight disadvantage!) and for the entire 2.5 hr ride home I had to listen to smack talk from a 13 year old about how he was going to have to find a new teammate since I was holding him back and all. Omg. Good times!

Well he also ran the fastest time on the team by a huge margin Saturday. Then promptly finished off the motor.

Not the way I heard it. Heard he came in because temp light came on. Replaced rad cap and next guy rode a stint with no problems and later there were more issues.

Little different reflection on a rider who comes in immediately upon a warning light coming on and one who "finishes off a motor."

Sorry to hear of the bad fortune though. Better luck next time!

Just some good natured ribbing. That kid is fast, wish he could have run a full stint. My sick bike was sick going in. I'm waiting to see what he can do on an RC390!

Ahh, my bad. I missed the tone of voice in the original. Don't go around telling him he's fast...there'll be no living with him! [emoji16]

Yeah, yall misunderstand. Burning up Kasey's motor was all part of my master plan. Dennis was just a pawn in the game.

It was damaged from the wreck at Cresson. It ran ok-ish with everyone else because we weren't Near as fast. Thomas went 7 seconds faster than anyone else that day, got down into 2:06
