We went down to the Drag Races in Las Vegas this year
and took Rylee this time. This is one of the bikes that we were
able to get up close to. Pretty colorful huh?
Back in the pit area they work on the dragters. It is very loud
and smokey but pretty exciting.
There are alot of people
There are alot of people taking pictures and I got this
guy to even give us a pose. He was pretty fun.
Rylee thought this paint job was pretty cool.
This is the car that it belonged to...
We like to pretend that this is our "UNCLE" Tim Wilkerson
This year they had a little dirt track set up to run "Traxxas"
remote control cars on. It cost $1 and they let you run a car or
truck around the track. Rylee had a blast and now wants to save up
his money to buy one. They are pretty expensive little units.
This is one of the models that he drove. Pretty sharp looking
This was the track that they had set up to run on. It was
made up of compacted dirt. They are pretty resilient
as alot of them were crashed into the walls by inexperienced
drivers. They are made to go in snow, ice, dirt, water almost everywhere.
If you can tell in this picture, there is one of the little
cars flying off the ramp and thru the air. The guy show this
was pretty good at making it do flips and then landing back
on all four tires. This was entertainment for the crowd of
people while they were working on the Drag Strip. You can kind
of see the strip in the background.
The weather was great and now that we have the Condo in
Mesquite I am sure that we will be back down for the Spring
races. We are looking forward to this.
