RA Racer Derby

February 13, 2008

The track is set up in the upper breezeway and Wayne Tyson and Rod check final alignment of the track. Wayne tips the starting gate and we are off on the 2008 RA Racer Derby!

The starting line is a busy place with Wayne starting the races, Rod recording winners, and Johnny Huffman and Jason Medina checking car weights.

The cars are lined up for style judging as well as speed.

Johnny and Stan are at the finish line to judge the winners. It is not easy! Some of the races are very close.

Rod presents an award of a flashlight to Grayson Bartlett. The flashlight refers to Jesus' instruction to us that we are to be the salt of the Earth and the light of the world. We also recognized younger brother McCabe for running the hotwheels race.

Gent, Cory, Christopher and others bargain for different colors of flashlights, but in general they like the flashlights as prizes. Maybe they hear the message about Royal Ambassadors being "light" in the World.

To Easter in Pearl River
