Tornado tuesday/// we should have expected it

Here is Cole lined up for his first race of the day!!!


oh his NMA number is 997


so we had to change all his graphics here he is after the race--while passing for 3rd


his front tire washed our in 3rd gear pinned
and he went down and a huge tractor tire attacked


him or actually he was toss right onto it going really fast


but he didn't even kill the bike he just got right back on


and ended up finishing 6th!!!



a quick trip to the sports medicine people

so we could get some ice to put on it

(tey actually have X-ray right on site)

race results
after his 2nd race of the day that he took 11th in


and also went down where everyone was falling!!
We went to dinner and were only gone about an
hour and when we headed back to the track


this is what it looked like


needless to say that cute blue pop up is long gone--they stopped the races and gave everyone a warning to pack everything up quick so while trying to get the bikes in our nice neighbors trailer--Ron and i were almost like Dorothy flying away with the pop up--Cole was a little worried as he had never seen his parents almost fly over their truck before--but we could not let go of it as it would have landed on someone Else's motor home or trailer so Ron shoved it under the truck and we got both bikes in the trailer and then joined our neighbors inside for a few minutes till the worse passed over--it was wild first just pretty dark blue skies with weird clouds then Ron saw it go greenish and then hail and then pouring rain like i have never seen before we were soaked and freezing--they say the fact that it rained saved us as the rain changes it so it is not a tornado--the wind was amazing it felt like the trailer might blow over!!when it slowed down some we grabbed what else we needed and headed out!!!

the track was flooded and the flag all blowing down
the streets were all flooded
the track will be crazy wet and flooded tomorrow
I guess that how flash floods are made
Cole dripping wet ready to shower

I met Cowboy Kenny today--he was standing by me waiting to wacth the pros race and kids kept asking for his autograph--we were visiting talking about the weather etc and i said so who are you and he said oh they call me cowboy Kenny i ride freestyle--- well he was wearing a cowboy hat and of course Cole knew him he said he is best friends with Travis pastrana and kinda a big deal---the humidity today was awful 96% and the temp was 92 before it turned to rain and hail which is actually very Cole how can one day be hotter then heck then freezing rain

this is how his arm looked before his shower
now it is a brighter and darker shade of purple
it is very swollen--i keep saying ey you been
working out?? I fond myself quite funny i laughed
alone about this for a long time then he couldn't stand it
i was laughing so hard at my own joke it finally made
him laugh too--I crack myself up!!

Wow, Cindy! I can't believe you guys were in the middle of a tornado! That will give you something to talk about. It must have been quite the experience. Glad you're all okay.
