Desert trip

We made a day trip out to the Desert. It is about a two hour drive. We took some friends with us. He has experience in the Desert from helping pit crew for a top Trophy truck racing team. Tim and His daughter Alex had a good day of riding. Tim, Alex,and Syd tried out some new hills.


















After riding Tim took us by where the race team had set up for the weekend. We pulled up just in time to see the driver launch the number 27 trophy truck 100 ft long, and about 12ft high of air in an impressive jump.
We were intruduced to the team owner, and his family. They were very nice, and accomodating. The SMD race team had a 1600 class racer, an Excursion racer, the trophy truck (over 700 horsepower), and a few chase vehicles, and a couple support trucks.
The youngest of the boys had a mini truck that was racing that weeknd, and The girls found that to be just about there speed. The little truck cost $6,000. So hopefully my girls will stick to bikes.
