I got started racing back in 1999.  When 3 of my buddies bought dirt bikes and started racing all of the local series.  They took me to one of the races and I have been absolutely addicted ever since.  Now my 8 year old son and I race or practice almost every weekend.  My son Jordan is addicted to the sport also.  Most of the guy's I started racing with don't really ride much anymore.  But most of my good buddies I met at the various tracks. It is the greatest sport on earth.
