Boys will be Boys... "Redneck Rally"

Okay so let me explain...A couple of months ago, Riley and his friends at work got this wild idea that it would be fun to go race cars. So they all got on KSL and bought these cheap cars, then took them back to the shop where they put bit exhaust pipes on them, roll cages in them and whatever else they wanted to do with them! Then Saturday December 6th we went down to the desert for them to race.This is Riley & Jake's car!
This is a picture of our "convoy" on the way down there. There were 4 cars racing, all being towed on trailers and a whole bunch of spectators.
One of the cars got high-centered!Riley & Jake's car, and Dylan & Zach's car.
Here they all are, lined up and ready to go!

Ryan, Little Riley, Zach, Dylan, Jake, Riley, Jarius & Shawn!

Riley & Jake didn't make it very far in the race. They had some car problems. The other 3 cars raced, I didn't get pictures cause I had my video camera. But it was pretty funny to watch.
Zach & Dylan got a big old gash in the side of their tire! Luckily Dylan was prepared with a bunch of spares!
2nd attempt for Riley & Jake didn't go so well either! The rust on the bumper was dumped out of their gas filter! I think we found the problam!
Surprisingly these boys took very good precautions, preparing for the worse! A roll over! They all had roll cages, they all wore their helmets, and their boss Marc was prepared with a fire extinguisher. But luckily no one got hurt! Oh wait...Riley did get a pretty good bump on his head. But it was when he was loading the car back onto the trailer! I didn't think it was very funny when it happened, but we sure get a kick out of it now!
All & all it was a fun day, even though Riley's car didn't work. They are going to do some more work on it so we can go out another day!
Boys Will Be Boys!!!!
