VE's Potential Writer's

We should be hearing from some of the others on this TEAM effort eventually.

I see that we are being limited on the amount of storage space for photos on Blogger via Picasa now. So I was gonna share more photos but I will hold off for the moment.

What fun is blogging if there is a limit to photos? I can see where this is going... $$$$$. Lots for Blogger and less for VE!

Oh well I want to share this picture of the night racing the guys have been studding up their tires for here on the ice. A track that Klint and Kris designed and keep plowed and ready to run their quads on. They have even invited friends from the motocross community for afternoons of being on the ice together. So far, it's been so cold! We hope for a day when the weather is just right and the interaction on the track develops stronger friendships within the racing community.

One thing we won't allow while out on the ice is alcohol. This time is family-style and we encourage participants to bring stuff to cook on the bonfire. VE has been providing lots of hot water for cocoa, hot cider, tea and coffee.

This photograph was taken by Marie. You can look at more pictures at VE's MySpace website.

Support

This is Klint winning the race with his wife Calli cheering him on. It's great to have support for hobbies... especially from your spouse!

It's expensive to race! With so many in VE Racing we are always looking for MORE support from the racing industry. (See our Support List on the side.)

Here's AJ!

AJ began racing in 2007 at the ripe ol' age of FOUR? Or his he five now? Old age is creeping in.

Racing Against Time

Doug and Kris adding coolant before the next race at Fairbank's Polar Roller Raceway, or was it Roller Polar...

What coolant is this? Doug?

Our Racing Team

A family team consisting of VanWingerden's and Egbert's. At first this team was going to be with Klint and Kris VanWingerden, but since we all ended up at the same places and my video camera and my daughter's camera's were busy clicking away ending up with so many pictures of us all - this ended up being VE Racing, rather than VanWingerden Racing.

The guys got into Racing two years ago now.

I am their Mom, I will do the blogging and updating on the races that they all have been in. Pictures and stories about their racing experiences should be coming here.

My husband Doug sells AMSOIL products so being at the racetrack is a good place for him even if his sons were not racing.

Marie is our daughter and she takes fantastic photographs, many times she shares them at her blog: Alaska According to Marie.

So exactly how many in the family are into quad racing? Klint V., Kris V., Tony E., Kim E. (our daughter), Alexis E., Ashlee E., and AJ E., all of our grandchildren.

The kids race in Alaska and are members of the Golden Racing Lions. They race in Anchorage, Homer, Kenai, and Fairbanks.

Recently we were in Hawaii and stopped by their motocross on Oahu. That was fun to see!

Keep your machines hot and rev'ving, I plan to be back with more!
