About Paige Harnish
How long have you been riding and racing?
I recieved my first dirt bike at age 3 from my dad. It was a PW50, that he custom built purple for me complete with training wheels. I soon realized that dirt bikes weren't for me when my dad bought me my first atv at age 4. I have been riding since i was three and started racing flat track in 2003 on my custom Lt 80. For 2004 i started motocross on my custom ATV. It was a blaster body with a yz85 motor in it. My dad custom built it also. Last year (2006) was my first year on my yfz450. The jump from a 85 to a 450 was very new to me.
How did you get involved in motocross?
My father introduced me to the sport at a very young age. He has been racing my entire life, and before I was born. He still competes today in the +30 A and +40 A classes. Also my uncle and younger cousins race. Motocross is really a family sport to me.
Tell me about your ride.
I race a YFZ 450. It is very unique. There is not another one like it. My father/Mechanic custom built it for me. It has about every top of the line after market part available. It has $15,000+ invested in it
Explain your 2008 race season
2008 was a fun season for me. In the past, I have gone hardcore for placement in every track series in my district's championship. This year I picked and chose what races I attended. I also raced my first ATVA national at Walnut, Il and got 8th overall. Although I wasn't following any particular series I landed a 8th overall in the state of Iowa. Also i finished 8th overall at one of the most popular tracks with the highest rider count in Iowa.
What are your expectations for 2009?
I plan to get a little more competitive for next year. I just keep getting mroe and more comfortable on my 450. Rather then focusing on a bunch of local races, I plan to attend all of the ATVA Nationals along with my boyfriend Jesse Barnes, who races in the Pro Am Production Class. I plan to race a few nationals while still attending a selection of local races at my favorite tracks in Iowa. After racing my first national last year, I'm hooked; the nationals are a whole different ball game! I also plan to race locals in Illnois and Missouri, when I have a free weekend.
