A Familiar WEXCR Sight: Meet the Houston Family

Tim W | 05 May 2015 | Racer Articles | |    

The Houston Family is no stranger to the WEXCR Racetracks. Mother Sherri comes with her son, Bailey, who races, her son, Barrett, who takes photos and her son Bailey’s girlfriend, Kaela.  Additional friends and family join them for races closer to home, but for the longer travel time, it’s the group of four.

“When Bailey races, Kaela and I help out by giving him water or helping with anything he needs during the race,” said Sherri. “Barrett takes photos of the riders throughout the race.”

The family loves the WEXCR Racing Family and that’s why they enjoy attending the races. Sherri said, “Tim and Vikki and the whole WEXCR Crew do an awesome job. The races are always held at great racing facilities and everyone becomes very close. It’s really enjoyable to be a part of the family!”

Bailey races a 2008 Can Am DS450 in the WEXCR Quad Open A Class. He said, “My goals this season are to finish more races and, who knows, maybe even win a few! I have an outstanding mechanic this year who keeps my bike running great. I think it’s going to be a great year!”

Sherri enjoys watching her son do something he loves to do. “It’s the best feeling in the world and I love getting those dirty hugs after a race,” she said.

Bailey would like to thank his family for being so supportive of his racing, his mechanic Adam Trojano for keeping his quad running at its best, S&F Construction, Brownrigg Drywall, Hall J Hill and Son Painting, Barrett Houston Photography and all of his friends who help him out. Additionally, he would like to thank Tim and Vikki and all of the WEXCR Staff for making it possible for riders to do what they love. “Without them, none of this would be possible,” he said.
