Prescott Valley, AZ (May 28 & 29, 2016) –Â Still being excited from the Lake Havasu race, we headed out to Prescott Valley. Â We remember visiting there years ago, and man – what a change in just that short time. Â The town has grown so much and there seems to be a lot more people in town. Â With the track not being on the main highway, we followed the GPS coordinates, and finally found the area where the race was going to be held. Â It was a couple of empty blocks in the middle of town that they had transformed into a race track, and camping area. Â Being late, we were still able to get in and set up camp. Â Had some great fellow racers in the pits that helped us maneuver into the spot.
That is one thing I really love. Â Even though some are competing against each other, it seems that everybody is on the same page and just there to have fun. Â When we first started racing, I was a bit worried – since we were doing this as a family, and wondered if there were going to be huge parties and negative things in the pits, etc. Â I don’t think I’ve seen any of that this year, at all. Â People are there with their families, are super respectful and you really don’t have to worry about much.
The race track here was amazing. Â Set up where people were standing all around the block watching. Â Even some driving by, that didn’t know what was happening, pulled over to enjoy the fun. Â The guys did a great job and had a lot of fun. Â There were a lot of people at this race. Â Saturday, the guys came in 4th, Sunday, they came in 2nd. Â No trophies for those positions, but still a lot of fun.
David and Dylan did a great job driving, getting a great take off and doing well in the turns:
Some guys got a bit too crazy:
But otherwise, it was a great race! Â There were even some that got in a bit of air:
Prescott Valley, I think, is one of my husband’s favorite tracks. Â AZOP put the event together really well, the race turns weren’t close together, and the dust was kept to a decent amount. Â They even got some street racing in and were able to pick up a lot of speed. Â A great race track, great teams and so much fun! Â Can’t wait to make the next one coming up in Show Low!

[…] There were only a couple of cars in the R.E. Racing class, so we just had to worry about a few. Â The others were all larger engines, modified units, etc. Â One got really modified at the end….look familiar: […]
