Wild Ride Racing

Each season, at the end of our race season, the families of our club vote to award special year end awards to our racers.

The Jim Plain Memorial Award is our most prestigious award. It represents Sportsmanship, Skill, Respect, Determination and Discipline. This year, we had a tie. #5 Connor McPhee and #11 Wyatt Moren have been racing side by side for the past 8yrs.

The respect they have for each other and their fellow racers is incredible. The friendship they've built with one another far outweighs importance of beating one another.

Example, several years back Connor's motor blew up in his Vintage Kitty Cat. There was one race left, but the motor was too far gone to fix, and they knew they had to bow out. We had a spare motor at the time. Wyatt, without hesitation told Chad to loan our spare to the McPhee's so Connor could race, as he said, "It won't be the same without Connor by my side. " At the next race these two took to the track, side by side with our motor in Connor's sled. It was a neck in neck race, with Connor taking the checkered flag. He beat Wyatt with our motor. Wyatt was thrilled for Connor. We still laugh about it to this day.

I'm so very proud of both of these boys. They are both so deserving of this award. And knowing their peers voted for them is so touching. Congrats to you both!!!
