On that road...

The Road to Loretta's that is. 

For my non-Moto peeps let me bring you up to speed and break down this "Road to Loretta's" real quick. 

You start with an Area Qualifier for specific Regions. Near us there's obviously the Southeast Region followed by...Northeast, Mideast and South Central. You must take a qualifying spot an an Area Qualifier to advance to that Regions "Regional Championship". You can qualify in as many as you want, so you have more than one Regional Championship to compete in case you don't qualify. 

In Wyatt's classes they take the top 8 at the Area Qualifier to advance to a Regional Championship, then they take the top 5 at said Regional.

That top 5 finish at a Regional Championship gets you a coveted ticket to compete at Loretta Lynn's Ranch. Yes, that Loretta Lynn. The coal miners daughter hosts THE largest Ameteur Motocross event at her ranch in Hurricane Mills, TN. 

Ricky Carmichael, Travis Pastrana, James Stewart and many more guys we watch on tv each week crossed the gates at Loretta Lynn's. 

Insanity. 

Now that you're caught up...What we've got going on is the Southeast Regional Championship the 3rd weekend of June. We have a back up Regional the next weekend if (Lord forbid) we do not qualifiy in the SE Region. 

If things go our way at Regionals Wyatt will be training harder than ever to prepare for his trip Loretta's in July. 

So, all that being said...pray I don't loose my sanity. Freestone was nerve racking enough, this is a whole'nother level. We're takling the fastest kids in the country, the whole frigging country. 

There are no words. 

I'll leave you with some super awesome shots by MotoOne aka: the amazing Brian Converse from last weekend at Lazy River.
