Bad Boys and the Military

CFP is very supportive of our troop wherever they may be and we understand the hours and sacrifices they take just to keep us safe and free and able to do what we do. We sometimes have events that are close to military bases and when we do we offer discounts to our Military customers. Sometimes there are special stories, I believe this is one of them.

In Belton this Friday and Saturday January 22-23 with our Monster Truck Winter Nationals we are having our own Bad Boys of Arenacross Races. There are many classes and for adults and kids so local riders get a chance to be part of the show. We recently decided to comp the entry fees to military riders for our events, and when word got out it went clear to Honduras.

Honduras is not in the United States, oh no it is thousands of miles south and is not a real friendly place, that is why Chief Warrant Officer William Murray is there. Chief is a Black Hawk helicopter pilot and if you are not familiar with them, they are one of the fiercest fighting machines to ever be dreamed up. You have to think this is not an easy mission when they send a Black Hawk to Honduras, I am sure this is not some easy training mission – this guy and his group are in a dangerous place and we hope they come home safely.

Chief Murray has three boys at home waiting for him as well as one heck of a mom that takes care of everything while he is gone. A proud Dad said in a letter to us, “.I can tell you I am so happy. Any time my boys get to do what they love puts a big smile on my face. Tracy has had a hard time being the Mother/Father, coach, mechanic, teacher the all around parent. She is a wonderful wife and a great mother. Thank You again for helping us out.” His wife,Tracy Murray is a motocross mom. She will help load their motorcycles on their trailer, get all their stuff together and then help start motorcycles, fuel race bikes, and generally be their mechanic, she is one heck of a mom. Motocross mom’s, they work their tales off.

The three sons who Chief Murray will not get to see race this weekend are his oldest William Jr. who rides a Kawasaki 85cc, Justin who rides a Kawasaki 65cc, and Dillon Murray who rides in the 50cc class on a Yamaha.

Being a racing father I can tell you one bike and one rider is plenty to handle and Tracy has 3 and Chief Murray does not get to see them race. While this is the 13th year he has been in the service we are sure that it does not get easier to miss something like these kids racing and also to not worry about them.
We hope to help with all that, and so we comp’d their entry fees, gave Tracy a pit access pass, and it looks like I get to be their mechanic and tuner for the weekend. Not sure if I can keep up with Tracy and those 3 boys but at least hopefully Chief Murray will be able to think his family is being taken care of by the CFP Crew while he is deployed thousands upon thousands of miles away.

CFP salutes our Military and Team Murray and Motocross Mom’s everywhere!
