Turkey In Tulsa...

Yep, it looks like it will be Turkey in Tulsa for us this year.  We're taking our first "Racing" road trip as a family in November for the ABA BMX Grand National Race.  Tyler just recently moved up to Intermediate in BMX and it looks like we're headed to our very first Grand National event this season.  So the title of this post is appropriate as we'll be eating "Turkey in Tulsa" this year.

Tyler has been racing BMX for just over a year now and he's having a blast with the sport!  We typically let him practice after the races are over and if he could put headlights on his Haro he'd be out there well after they turn off the lights!  

Shortly after Tyler first started racing he was invited to joint the Bike Stop team which was a big thrill and a real honor as well.  Tyler wears his Bike Stop Jersey with great pride and he's really looking forward to finishing out the season this year at his very first Grand National Race.

When we first started racing BMX we had no idea it would lead to "Racing Road Trips" but we're all looking forward to the opportunity to take a trip we wouldn't have otherwise taken.  So this November it's "Turkey in Tulsa" for the Hagan Racing Team. 

I took a look at some photos of the track from years past and it's HUGE!!!  The Quick Trip Expo Center in Tulsa is one of the World's largest clearspan buildings!  It's 448,000 square feet of racing!  Take a look at this track photo from a few years ago.

So as we get close to Thanksgiving this season we'll be packing the truck full of the racing gear and headed out on our very first "Racing Road Trip" as Tyler "Thunderfoot" Hagan goes up against all the other 8 year old Intermediates in the Country.
