Luke the Loco Lad

Last Thursday was Luke's last race at Hannagan Speedway. This boy does nothing but ride. Riding motorcycle runs through his blood. His very first race earned him 5th place out of 8 kids. Keep in mind that he doesn't have the fanciest of bikes and he is the only one that has to shift. In his 2nd race, he bumped up to 3rd place and a bigger trophy. He was quite pleased. There was an opponate named Komakazi. He is the boy to beat. So with much practice and Mom with her many gasps and heartstops: Luke was bound and determined to beat Komakazi. Last week he did just that. It was such an exciting race and evidently he did not even know Komakazi was on his tail the whole time, he even passed Luke on a corner once. But in the end the pressure got the best of Komakazi and he took a fall. Sad but true. And Luke walked away with the first place trophy! He can't wait to race tomorrow. If it doesn't rain he will compete in the beginners 4-8 year old class at about 5:30. Race on! Vroom, Vroom!
