Traditions
Every family has traditions that are passed down from one generation to the next. You know those great items that you are going to get when Aunt Betty dies. In the Connor Family we have a trophy and this is no ordinary trophy. Our trophy was handcrafted in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, for a lot of money I am sure. The trophy was first awarded about 10 years ago at the first running of the Connor 500. It has changed hands over time but I am proud to say that our leg of the Connor Family has been able to keep the trophy for the last few runnings of the Connor 500 with both Darlene and Robert earning victories in recent events. You may have even noticed it being proudly displayed in our home. Today our ownership of the trophy was successfully defended. Robert, his brothers and his dad participated in the race today and once again Robert emerged as the winner. I am so proud. Sorry no pictures of this race.
We are a very competitive bunch and of course Robert and I would love to keep such a prized trophy in our family for years to come. I mean who wouldn't be proud to display such a fine piece in their home. We are thinking of having a display case built so that we can display the trophy in a more deserving fashion. We started training the first of the next generation of great Connor champions in the hope that one day she can follow in her parents' footsteps.
Olivia loved her first time in a go-Kart. She was all smiles when her turn driving was over.

Riding a bike all by herself one day, driving the next....Look out World, here comes Olivia, as fast as she can possibly go. Caedan will have to do some fancy moves to catch his big sister. He is sure on his way though.
