Connor has amazed us with his abilities on his 65 bike.  He caught right on to the clutch and actually looks smoother on it than on his 50.  We've upgraded his Kawasaki to a KTM so that he will begin to be much more competitive in the 65 class.

We were very excited to find out this week that Connor did make it in the top 12 to qualify for Ponca City.  Ever since it's like Connor is a new rider--he has more confindence and drive than before.  He had a rough start on Sunday's qualifier, he just wasn't fast enough on the track and a bad crash coming out of a double slowed him down the rest of the day for a 6th place finish.  Then he came back the next day and rode hard for a 3rd place finish.  Now he's been practicing more and getting more seat time on his 65, he even raced it for the first time last night at 800MX to take a 4th place win of 7 bikes; pretty impressive for only his 5th time on the bike.
