Laguna Seca

We went to California last week for the AMA motorcycle races.  It was amazing!!!  T.V. does it NO JUSTICE!  I loved it as well as the boys and of course Owen.  Owen looked like a little boy on Christmas morning. Perma-Grin the entire 2 days of races.  We bought hats for Kobe and Roah to get signed by the racers, and as you can see Roah did just that as well as sign his name on the top of his hat.  Our conversation started, 
ME: Roah why did you sign your name on your hat?
  ROAH: It's not fair that all the racers get to sign my hat, and not me!  
He's got a point.


Kobe with Josh Herrin.  Josh was so friendly, he even promised Kobe his helmet if he won the race.  He took third to Kobe's disappointment.

Roah's Idol and favorite racer, Tommy Hayden.  Anytime Kobe and Roah are playing motorcycles, Roah is Tommy Hayden and Kobe is his brother, racer Nicky Hayden. 

Owen and his brother Lui.  Both have motorcycles and were in HEAVEN the entire races.  (Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, Happy Anniversary. He He He)
Owen and the boys with Rossi's old bike.  I'm not going to explain who Rossi is , but his nickname is "The Doctor"  because he is that good at racing.

Roah and his cousins waving to the bikes as they were racing. 



Owen in front of the famous "cork-screw" turn.  It's famous for it's 3 story drop and tight left and right turn.  (It looks like he's grinning b/c of the billboard sign in the background!)
It was so fun and I can't wait to go to more races this next year.  
(Maybe I should start racing motorcycles.)

Looks like fun, but I don't think you should race...just concentrate on the Olympics!!!
