Me and two other guys from my race team have hired a personal trainer to whip us into shape. Things are looking great going into the Branson National

Well I have two A class races under my belt now. I have raced the first two rounds of the Texas Pro Circuit series. I did not do very well at Rd. 1, getting dead last starts in all four motos. Rd. 2 at Swan Raceway went alittle better. I was in 6th at one time on my 450 but crashed. I am working on my starts and am getting faster every time I ride.

This weekend the 11th will mark my first A class race.

At the Ponca City National this year i raced in the 250 B stk, and the 450 B Mod. I have been training really hard and thought I was prepared enough but with all the rain that Oklahoma has had this summer I havnt gotten to ride much. In my 250 motos I had bad starts and crashed in both motos and didnt qualify. I qualified 14th in my 450 mob class and got a dead last start in the main, but ended up 23rd overall.

I raced the first race this weekend since my broken arm at the end of november. It was only the second time I had ridden since. I went out and got 6th on my 250F but crashed on my 450. The track was wicked sandy and whooped out, but I still pulled out a 6th out of 30 riders. Its gonna be a great year!

I broke my arm at the second round of the oklahoma state arenacross series on 11/25/06. I was passing for third on the second lap through a rythom section. the guy in front of me doubled through the section and I triple tripled through it and he came into my line and i cliped his back tire and fliped off the track. I broke my right arm, and am out for six weeks

Well Branson did not go as planned. I seemed to crash every time I was on the track. I was well within qualifiying position in my 125 B class untill I crashed. I ended up 15th and the final transfer was 14th. 

I have been training hard for the first round of the Texas Loan Star series. Round 1 is this weekend the 19th, and 20th at Swan MX park in Tyler, Tx.

I Raced the Ponca City National last week. I raced in the 125 B mod, and the 250 B stock classes. I raced my first motos and finished 15th in the 125 mod, and 13th in the 250 stock class. In my second motos, I had to race the very first moto of the day on friday on my 450, after a terenchal rain thursday night. I was in 6th the entire moto untill the last lap when a lapper forced me to switch ruts and I crashed, but I still finished 9th, qualifing me for the main on saturday. In the 125 class I got a decent start and was in 7th untill the third lap a rider went down in front of me and I crashed, knocking me out of qualifing position. In the main on saturday in the 250 class I finished 16th overall.

I recently qualified for the Ponca City National at cooperland Raceway. I have uped my training program so that I can be in the best possible shape for the National. I have been having bad luck at the races for the last month. Crashes and bad starts have been killing my results. But I have been practicing my starts and working on my flat track to try and cure myself and get better results.
