Thread: First Ever In Club History!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

  1. #1

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.
