Kenda Cup West #1 - Vail Lake Resort

Last week, a group of us traveled to Temecula, California to take part in the first race of the Kenda Cup West series.  It was our first out-of-state trip, and everyone was very excited!  The race was held at Vail Lake Resort on a rolling, fast, and fun course.  We had 3 racers suiting up for the day - Emma racing girls 14 & under, Barrett racing boys 9-10, and Liam lining up for the boys 11-12.  The weather had been great all weekend...until race time.  The rain and wind came fast and furious!  Also complicating matters was the mass start the didn't distinguish who was racing in which category.  In spite all of this, the kids went out fast and strong and finished with solid times.  All 3 landed podium spots:  Liam and Barrett both came in 3rd, and Emma finished 4th as one of (if not the) youngest racers on the day.  We were very proud of their grit and determination in the face of difficult conditions!  Way to go Team Dynamix!!!
