Awana Racer Derby
February 16, 2011
The cars are weighed in, the race ladder is set up, and we are ready to start the 2011 Awana Racer Derby. We had an enthusiastic group for breakfast and the trial Awana derby on February 5, and now an excited group of kids and parents gather for the big event.
Gary Oxendine is the official starter, Ricky and Billy Ridgway man the finish line, Ruth Floyd and Johnny Huffman call the racers, and Rod Nave mans the race ladder.
There were lots of close races. This shows the crowd of parents and grandparents around the finish line. Abigail Byrd wins a race and heads back to the start line with her car.
