Galion, OH - 9/15/07- Short Track Race - We went to the Sunset Ramblers MC to race the short track, with temperatures in the mid 60’s and windy it made for a chilly day and cool night of racing. In practice the track was a little dry & hard, but as the night progressed with help from the water wagon it became moist and somewhat tacky. I rode the JET Racing CRF150RB in the 125cc class and in that heat I was second off the line and I ended up second. In the 85cc class I rode the JET Racing CR85 and in the heat I got the hole-shot and in turn 2, JR Addison, my teammate got under me and passed me. But then he went high going into turn 3 and I went under him in turn 4 and took the lead back. I was able to hold him off to finish 1^st. I rode the JET Racing CRF150RB in the open-am class and in that heat I got caught up in traffic off the start and ended up 3^rd. In the 125 main JR got the hole-shot I got off the line in 2^nd and finished 2^nd. In the 85cc main I got the hole-shot and JR fell in turn 2, but he was OK and able to make the restart. On the restart I got the hole-shot again, and pulled out to finish up 1st. In the open-am main I started in 4^th and had a really good race with JR for 3^rd. I tried everything I could, the inside, outside, high side & the low side and ended up 4^th with JR in 3^rd. I had a lot of fun in Galion, the track was awesome and the crew did a great job.

I want to thank all of my sponsors and the Sunset Ramblers MC for a great day of racing.

Norwalk, OH 9-8-07 We went to Norwalk, OH to race the ½ mile track at the Huron County fairgrounds. I got to ride the JET Racing CR85 and the JET Racing CRF150R. I rode in the 85cc class and the 100cc class. It was a cloudy day and it looked like it was going to rain. In the 85cc heat race I got a good start, got passed twice and ended up 3rd.I came back and hopped onto the JET Racing CRF150, in that class I still got an ok start and ended up 4th. Right before I went out for the 85 main it started to rain, we had a 1-hour rain delay and after that the track was perfect. In the 85 main I got the whole shot and got passed 3 times so I ended up 4th. In the 100 main I was second off the line and ended up 4th. Over all it was a good day of racing and I had a lot of fun. We were supposed to race again on Sunday but got rained out. A big thank you to Dave Martin & his crew for putting on a great event.



I want to say thanks to all of my sponsors:

Harpster OH 9-1-07 We had a lot of fun on the short track in Harpster, OH it was a sunny day and I put in about 500 laps at the Triangle MC club grounds, the club has made some great improvements to the facility. I got to ride the JET Racing CR85 and the JET Racing CRF150R. I raced in the 85cc class, the 100cc class, and the open amateur. In the 85cc class heat I finished 3rd. In the 100cc class heat I got the hole shot and won. In the open amateur heat I finished 2nd.The turn out was very small so the program went very fast We put a pair of Vortex flat track bars on the JET Racing CRF150R and I really liked them, they really made the bike easier to control. In the 85 main I started in second and finished second to teammate JR Addsion. In the 100 main I was the first one to turn one and the first one to the finish line. In the open amateur main I had a good battle with Casey McCammon and finished 3rd. After the races we had open practice and I rode the JET Racing CRF250, it was awesome and a good confidence builder. Over all it was a good race day and I had a lot of fun.

8-24-07 Lawrenceburg, IN We went to Lawrenceburg Speedway to race the short track Friday night. I had a lot of fun because this was my first short track since the nationals and seen some friends we had not seen in a while. I ran the JET Racing CR85 in the 80cc class & the JET Racing CRF150R in the 125cc class. In both heats I finished in 2^nd place. For the mains I was mainly concentrating on getting a good start and not shifting. In the 80cc main I got the hole-shot & held the lead for the first lap before getting passed. I was able to hold 2^nd place & put some pressure on the leader but could not make the move. On the 150 I started in 2^nd place & was all over the leader but he held his line & I wasn’t able to make the pass on the outside. It was a good night of racing & I can’t wait to go back to Lawrenceburg Speedway, it’s a good track run buy a great crew.

7-6-07 DuQuoin, IL - AMA Sports Black Cat Gold Dirt Track Grand National Championships - We started the week off with a 1/2-mile race on Monday. My first class was the 85cc MOD 7-11, I finished 4th in the main, not a bad start considering there were 22 riders in the class and only 12 went to the main. Next up was the 65cc MOD 7-11, I got a decent start and was running third on the first lap. I quickly moved to second and then I had to work for it but was able to take the lead heading to the white flag, holding it to the checkered. With another fourth place in the 85cc DTX 9-13 we were off to a good start. On Tuesday we ran the indoor Short Track, again first up was the 85cc MOD 7-11. I made the main and finished 10th. Next in the 65cc MOD 7-11 I started on the outside and ended up finishing fourth in the main. In the 85cc DTX 9-13 I was running mid pack in the main when I got hit from behind causing me to high-side and then got hit again when I was down. The race was red flagged and I was headed to the hospital with a big cut the front of my thigh. It took 15 stitches to sew it up. Luckily we had Wednesday off so I had a day to recoup. Thursday morning we headed to the TT track and decided to drop the 85cc DTX class and ride conservatively in the 65cc MOD and 85cc MOD to gain some points for the overall title. After a major rain delay things went well in practice, my leg was not a problem at all, but I was still concerned about getting hit and/or going down again. The 85 was a hand full in the tight sections and I didn't make the main in the 85cc MOD. In the 65cc MOD it was a different story I got a direct transfer to the main and was on the front row for the start. I knew my best chance was to get a good start and ride smooth. When the light turned green I pulled the hole-shot only to have the red flag come out after another rider went down in the first turn. On the restart I did it again, got the hole-shot, but was passed by Thomas Goodnick in turn three. I settled in, focused on being smooth and held my lines. It worked I held on to second place and gained a 5 point lead heading to the final day. Friday was our final day and we were back on the 1/2 mile track, my favorite.  I was feeling good and my stitches were not an issue so we signed up in both 85 classes again, but I was really after the 65cc MOD overall title. Practice was good and we skipped the second 85 practices to conserve energy in the 90-degree heat. I won both my 85cc class heats, but struggled a bit in the 65cc class with Wyatt Anderson finishing second to him by only inches. In the 85cc MOD 7-11 main I was on the outside of the front row for the start and got bumped going into turn one falling back to 7^th place. I was able to work my way back up to 5^th by the finish. In 85cc DTX I got the hole-shot and lead them down the back straight on the first lap. Ryan Wells passed me in turn three and then Tyler Butts moved up to mix it up with us. We raced hard and passed each other several times but when it counted Butts was the first one to checkered with me in second and Ryan third. I was excited to make the podium for the first time at the Grand Nationals on the 85cc bike. In the 65cc MOD 7-11 class I had the overall title if I finished in at least second place.  I was going for the win though and when the light turned green I took the lead never looking back until I crossed the finish line 8 laps later. This gave me the 65cc MOD 7-11 AMA Sports Black Cat Gold Dirt Track Grand National Championship.

I want to say thanks to all of my sponsors and the AMA staff for an awesome week of racing.

5-26-07- Canton, OH - Bike Days - On Saturday there was a great turnout with 17 riders in the 85cc class. In my heat race I had a good battle with Ryan Wells, we passed each other several times in four laps and I came out on top with the win. The JET Racing CR85 was running awesome and the track was perfect. In the 100cc class I rode the JET Racing CRF150R for the first time on the half-mile and I finished third in the heat. Then it started to rain and we hade a long delay waiting on the track to dry. In the 85cc main my Cycra Racing Plastics hand guards really worked well at keeping the roost off as I was running in second to Ryan on the first lap. I was having trouble getting the front wheel to slide on the wet tacky track and slipped to third place by the finish. In the 100cc class I got a good start and was leading into turn one but Ryan got around me and I finished 3^rd. On Sunday there was 14 riders in the 85cc class and in my heat I got the hole-shot but finished 2^nd. In the 100cc class I rode the JET Racing CR85 and I hesitated on the start of the heat race, which cost me the hole-shot. I was second into turn one and held on to finish 2^nd. In the 85cc main I got a good start and raced hard to finish 3^rd. In the 100cc main I got the hole-shot and was in the lead for two laps before slipping up in turn three and falling back to finish 2^nd. I got some great half–mile practice for the national’s and had a lot of fun. The Bike Days crew did a great job of prepping the track and running a smooth program.

A very special thanks to all of my sponsors.

5/18-20/07 Greenville, IL – AMA Sports North Central Nationals - Friday night we had open practice on the Short Track and things went great. I got the JET Racing CR85 dialed in and must have ran about 100 laps. On Saturday morning we ran the Short Track race and although the turn out was low the competition was tough. In the heat races I was struggling with my starts but I managed to pull off the win in both 85cc classes. In the Short Track mains my starts didn’t improve much but I still managed to take the win in both the 85 DTX and the 85 MOD 7-11. Saturday evening it was the TT race and in the heats my starts still did not improve. It took a last lap pass over the jump to beat JET Racing teammate JR Addison for the win in 85 MOD. I also won the 85 DTX heat after another good race with JR. In the TT mains I finally got the hole-shot, I even got it in both classes and I also won both classes. On Sunday we ran the half-mile, my favorite type of track. In the 85 DTX heat it was JR and I again racing for the top spot, he won I got 2^nd. . We changed gearing before the 85 MOD heat race and that put me a little closer to JR but it wasn’t enough to beat him so I finished 2^nd again. In the Half-mile 85 MOD main I was second off the line to JR, going down the back straight I pulled a draft pass on him and took the lead and the win. In 85 DTX again I had to work my way to the front in order to pull off the win. It was a great weekend of racing; I won the overall #1 plate in both classes and had a lot of fun. A big Thank You to Steve Nace and his crew for putting on an awesome event.

 I went to the Sunset Ramblers MC to race in their first short track of the year. It had rained and when we got there the track was really wet, so they used golf carts to dry out the track and we still started on time, which was a big relief. In practice turns one and two were really tight but they loosened up as the day went on. In the 85 heat I had a battle with Drew Lowery for the first two laps and then went on to finish 1^st. I rode the JET Racing CRF150RB in the open-am class and on the first lap the guy in front of me tucked his front wheel and I bumped into him. Then as I was about to recover I got hit from behind and fell.  I got a scrape on my side from the foot peg but was able to make the restart. They let me line back up on the front row and I finished 2^nd. In the 85cc main I got the hole-shot and the win, my teammates JR Addison & Eric Iddings finished 2^nd & 3^rd giving JET Racing the top three. In the open-am main I started in third and was able to move to 2^nd on the first lap. I was able to hang with the leader, Eric Stump but couldn’t get the pass. I had a lot of fun in Galion and I was really glad that Ray Rees, owner of JET Racing, and his family could come out and watch us race.

I want to thank all of my sponsors and the Sunset Ramblers MC for a great day of racing.
