Kids love racing. Motocross racing is affordable, educational, and finally, family centric. After putting in a ton of time, effort, and money into your child’s racing remember to keep certain things special.
The little plastic trophy that your child receives after a 5th place finish means the world to your little racer. Always make that the goal of the night. Not everyone can win, but most promoters remember that keeping the kids coming back is important. Kids want to come back for trophies.
Always have your child in the best kids motocross gear, and make them feel proud at the end of the night. If you need anymore proof of that, ask yourself how many of your old trophies did you hang onto from childhood? Say no more.
Boris Said has been named as the driver for the number 83 Red Bull Toyota at Watkins Glen August 8th. Team Red Bull tapped DTM ace Mattias Ekstrom for the first NASACR road course of the year in June. Red Bull also had Travis Pastrana exchange his dirt bike helmets for a full face helmet when he participated in the Prelude to the Dream charity race. All these drivers in addition to Casey Mears and Reed Sorenson have spent time driving in place of Brian Vickers. Vickers is out for the season with a blood deficiency.
Red Bull Racing is a supporter of many motorsports athletes including Travis Pastrana, Cole Whitt, and Kimi Raikkonen. Wouldn’t it have been great if Red Bull could have put Kimi Raikkonen or Sebatian Loeb in at Watkins Glen? Orders like that can only come from Red Bull headquarters in Austria. Well it was a nice thought.
