How long was the wait, are you 65 yet.

Is Jett one of the most popular, or the most popular there?

It’s not even close. AP, Webb, Tomac, Sexton etc are definitely drawing crowds, but for the kids it’s all about Jett. We were n line for at least 90 mins and were one of the last to get a wristband. I gotta say he took the time to interact with his fans. One happy girl, she was literally shaking when we were getting close. 
 

I was able to get 3 signed posters from Team Honda and handed them to a little boy who was obviously not going to get any goodies. You would have thought I handed him a new bike! He was soooo happy IMG 0876

So my 15 year old granddaughter can get her newly purchased $225 Jett Lawrence jersey signed. Call me an idiot but if you had grandkids you’d understand. Especially a 15 year old who wanted to drive 6 hours with her papa to see a SX 

Money well spent. have fun!

I have 4 kids now under 10 and if I’m trying to discipline them in front of my parents they try to stop me! This coming from my parents that whipped my ass! I think being a grandparent is the reward of having kids in the first place. And that’s a dream to be able to spend time with a teenage grandchild. So cool

My mom was the worst at this. When I was coming up she was a WORLD CLASS ass whipper. My boys come thru it was like wtf mom? I've spanked my grandson once and I felt Soo bad.

I believe KennyT has jumped to an early lead in the Vital "All-Around Best Dude of the Year" awards. And your granddaughter sounds like a good kid, too.

Grandkids are God’s way of getting you back for all the times you said NO to your kids.  😎

Atta boy (?!), Papa. You can make more money but you can't get those moments/memories back.

Big Red Machine….the irony:

"Renegade" is a song recorded by American indie band Big Red Machine featuring American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.

Right there with ya. Be at Arlington with my 13 year old grandson. Hope he doesn't ask for a signed Tomac Jersey or even worse a Jett jersey but I bet it will happen. Just glad we are still here sharing the time.

Did he sign the jersey? If so not even counting making the kid happy it isn't a bad price to pay for a signed jersey. No, it's not race worn but would look cool in a shadowbox on the wall even for us adults.

Yes he did sign it, what was cool is he showed her how to stretch and hold it real tight so he could put a nice clean signature on it. 
 

I remember buying a Pastrana replica jersey from No Fear 20+ years ago. I think those were $120 or so way back then.

Excellent Job KT! Reminds me of the time I had to wait in line at 4:00 in the morning on a Black Friday for a Furby for my daughter.

She will remember you did that for the rest of her life!!!
