TT Race at Moberly, MO on June 12, 2004

On Saturday evening, June 12, 2004, son Josh took our good friend Taunia Adams and her son Ben, age 10, to the HLR Racetrack near Moberly, Missouri. Ben would compete in his very first motorcycle race. He did quite well, and won a nice trophy. Ben rode a 110 cc Kawasaki with racing plate number 259. Hurray Ben!

Josh (No. 67) placed 2nd in the 250cc Amateur class on his green Kawasaki KX250. That was sufficient for him to retain the first place position in the TT series.
