Derby Talk

During our first race that we hosted at our Church someone stuck a microphones in our race starters face and asked how he saw the races going for the day, his answer was.......... "All Down Hill From Here!". It just stuck and I loved it.

Thanks Stan for the advice. I have definitely eliminated option #1. I think they both understand why that is not a good idea. We did just find out that this Church has moved their race date to the fall so it's nothing we would need to prepare for right away. I agree that it may be a good idea to app...

It sounds like you have had an eventful time getting set up, but you have it all under control now. I'm sure that all will be fine on race day.

Good luck to you and your boys!!!

I would swing by daily to pick up any tidbits I could and you all came through in a big way for me. We have raced a few y...
