How I got started
I got my first motorcycle in August 2000, I was 4yrs old, it was a PW50 with training wheels. I only needed the training wheels for one week. I learned how to ride a motorcycle before a bicycle. I raced for the first time in Oct 2000. Three months later (Jan 2001) I moved up to a KTM Pro Junior.I raced my KTM until August 2001. I placed 9th (points overall) in AMA District 27 for 2001 in the 4-6yr 50cc stock class. In 2002 I was racing a 2001 Polini X-1 Works bike. I placed 1st (points overall) in the MBMC Hannegan Speedway Thursday night series in the 4-6yr 50cc stock class. I placed 2nd (points overall) in the Washington State Championship series in the 4-6yr 50cc stock class. In 2003 i raced a 2003 Polini X-3 Works 50cc in the 7-8yr 50cc stock class and a 2001 Ktm SX 65cc in the 7-8yr 65cc stock class. In the 7-8yr 50cc stock class I placed 2nd (points overall) in the Gold Star series, 2nd (points overall) MBMC Hannegan Speedway Thursday night series and 3rd (points overall) in the Washington State Championship series. In the 7-8 yr 65cc stock class I placed 4th (points overall) in the Gold Star series, 3rd (points overall) in the MBMC Hannegan Speedway Thursday night series,and 4th (points overall) in the Washington State Championship series.In 2004 I raced a 2003 Polini X-3 in the 50cc 7-8yr stock I placed 1st (points overall) in the MBMC Hannegan Speedway Thursday Night series,and took 1st in the Washington State Champion series.I also raced a 2003 KTM sx65 in the 7-8yr 65cc class and placed 2nd (points overall) in the MBMC Hannegan Speedway Thursday Night series and took 2nd in the Washington State Champion series.In the spring of 2005 I broke both wrists and missed the Gold Star series.I finished(4th overall in points)in the 9-11yr 65cc class at MBMC Hannegan Speedway Thursday Night series.Since then I have been practicing hard 4 to 6 days a week to get ready for the 2006 race season.
