The little guy spent the day at Mammy's house (getting spoiled) and the rest of us headed out early Sunday morning. This was Garrett's first year attending and when we pulled up to the Feasel house he was literally shaking with excitement.

This was the 4th year for Parker to attend the Feasel Fall Classic, but his FIRST year to RACE!!!! Yes, at the last minute (and truthfully at Mommy's prodding) we entered our 4 year old in the "Beginner Youth" division. At first, Eric was uncertain of how Parker would "perform" on a real track (compared to our small backyard). In addition, we had only taken the training wheels off of his dirt bike 2 weeks ago. Parker "was game" though and I thought he would have fun. Finally, daddy agreed too:)
At the completion of sign ups Parker ended up being the only entrant in his division. I am not sure if his "mad skills" scared off the other competitors or we are in the minority of crazy parents who give their child a dirt bike at age 2. I am thinking the latter of the two LOL! Regardless, Parker had a BLAST and that is what counts.

track during practice...Eric walked behind Parker as he rode
During practice he was a tad bit unsure and would put one
foot down to "stable" himself...by his "race" both feet were on the pegs
A happy and safe little rider
In the past Eric has only entered the "Open Pro" division, but after turning 30 this past June he entered the "30+ division" as well. He was excited, but his body is definitely paying for it.
The girls at the finish line were super sweet and pulled out
the checkered flag for him (hard to see...they are smaller blocks)

At the conclusion of the race there is a small ceremony to congratulate all of the riders and winners. Trophies, cash, and other prizes are awarded according to each division.
