Destry's Trophy

Kolt's family hosts a dirtbike race every year called Cherry Creek. Since this race has been going on so long it's actually part of a National circuit for Hare and Hound Desert Races (just the type of race). Anyway, this means that the big names of desert racing usually show up. Last year one of the dudes was filming for one of his DVD's and so we had a helicopter crew filming him throughout the race. So yeah, this also happens to be the race where I met Destry Abbot last year and really liked his name. Plus I found out he was a pretty nice guy--->he likes to give out his trophies and other prizes he wins to fans (unless it's a first place, then he keeps it). Since he's rated number one for desert races, he wins a lot of trophies.

Fast forward to this year.

Kolt went down to Delta to help out the family host the race again this past weekend. I stayed home with the wee one since he's too small to endure a day in the desert and the noise from hundreds of motorcycles. darn. ;D

Our favorite racer, Destry Abbot was there again as usual and Kolt got to talk to him for a bit before his race. He mentioned the small fact that we named our first born child after him and yadda, yadda, yadda Destry promised his trophy (if he won one, of course) to our little Destry. Well folks, he won second overall which turns out great for us. If he had won FIRST we wouldn't have got the trophy. So he autographed it for us and now it's going to sit in my son's bedroom for the next 18 years (that's a guess, but if he's anything like his dad we'd still have them up in the bedroom if I allowed it). Fun eh? So Destry has a Destry Trohpy.
