The world's longest non-stop river race...

OK so you are probably wondering what this is all about...well...let me tell you. My dad and his friend Scott Mansker started The Missouri River 340 Race four years ago. And like I said it's the longest non-stop river race. People from all over come to compete. In fact, strange enough, a man from Brampton, Canada participated last year! My dad told him that his grandson was named after that exact city and he then sent Brampton a shirt with "Brampton" on it! And back in June, I was driving down Seawall here in Galveston, Texas and there was an Explorer in front of me that had a MR340 sticker on the back of their car! Crazy!!! So seriously this thing is huge!!! My dad is pretty much awesome. My sister Lacey was visiting Kansas a few weeks ago, during the race, and took tons of pictures of it all finally posted them. You have to go check it out....
