One more report, and I will stop bragging on my grandson. LOL He is bringing home the Reserve Champion SR Boy's Saddle Bronc buckle from the National Little Britches Rodeo. He also tied for first place for the average, but lost the coin flip, so also has the buckle for Reserve Champion in the average. All in all Dylan has had an outstanding 2 weeks, bringing home the reserve champion at both the National high school , and National little britches rodeos. A pretty good job for a 15 year old freshman. The buckles also come with scholarships for collage, just how much I don't know, but IF he keeps this up, he may have a free ride for his collage education.
I am glad he is getting to something he loves and actually get a monetary reward for it.

if i could figure out how to always do a rolling start it would be great, but there is always that one jackwagon that just HAS TO BE in front of the big bad truck at the red light. even when we are the only two vehicles on the 4 lane road, and they will not move until i come to a complete stop.

if i an on flat level, i will rev the engine up and slip it into deep reduction at the bottom of the let off, around 400 rpms, and then tag the throttle. no grind and no clutch needed. the big problem is most lights are on the reverse of the hill where i am usually sitting nose uphill.

Thanks Glenn. Yes Dylan has 3 years left in high school, so 3 more chances for the National title. As for the little britches rodeos, I'm not certain what the cut off age is for that.
Thanks Bill, I have 9 grand children 4 boys and 5 girls, and am proud of all of them. Dylan is the oldest, so it is exciting to have him doing so well. He is competing in the state 4H rodeo this weekend. We'll see how he does down there. If he draws a good horse, he should do all right.
