There were some great riders which gave me the determination to work harder for the 2nd Place finish.


I would like to take this time to Thank all of my 2007/2008 sponsors along with a Special Thanks to Mom and Dad for letting me race in the Open B Class. 


I can't wait to see whatelse is in store for me for the rest of 2008.

Sunday, January 13th:  Round 8 Earlywine's Indoor Winter Series


Quad B:  4th Place  (My gate didn't drop and I had the worst holeshot ever, but look out I'll get them next time)

I competed in my first Arenacross Race on Saturday, January 5th sponsored by American Motorsports Arenacross at Robert's Arena in Wilmington, Ohio.  There were 8 racers in the  C Class and I had to qualify because it was only a 6 gate start.  I got the holeshot and have attached the picture below, but took the first turn too wide and was passed.   After the woops  I took the inside lane going into the double and regained 1st but the next jump I was hit and stalled out and ended up in second for the 1st moto.

In the main moto I came in 1st and received a 3 ft. 1st place trophy.  It's SWEET!

I am currently tied for 2nd in overall points for the series.   Looking forward to the New Year for this has been a very trying year for me because I've lost a few good friends to death and just lost my grandma.  Please say a prayer for all our fellow racers and their families who have lost friends and family members this year with hope for a better new year.  Happy Holidays!

I was very nervous because I moved up 2 classes and this was my first time racing in Quad B and there is some great competition which will only make me a better racer.

Quad B:  4th Place


The first moto was the best I have raced my 450 so far with a 1st Place finish. The second moto wasn't so great, I flipped my quad on the start and by the time I got back on my feet and the quad started I had already been lapped.  But I did not give up and raced hard the rest of the race.  I'm O.K. just some road rash and bruises.  I'll post a video of both soon.  Met two of my sponsorhouse friends:  Taj Garvie and Ryan Handshoe.  Ryan and I are racing Quad B together.


 


 

I got my quad back yesterday and it already runs and sounds better.  I've changed my number from #3 to #131.  The winter series starts next weekend and I can't wait. 

Just found out that when the mechanic got the new cylinder in my quad and all put back together that it was still smoking.   He tore it back down and found out the valves were bad so now it's going to take another 10 days before I get it back.


I want to ride so bad and this would be my last race of the summer series at New Vienna and I was in 1st place but because I did not finish the last race because of my quad and now that I'm not going to be able to race this weekend, I'll probably lose my 1st place position.  I'm depressed, but on the upside at least I'll be ready for the winter series and I'm looking forward to some great competition for I'm moving up to B Class.  It will be interesting to see how the season goes.
