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

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

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:

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.

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
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...

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.
