I finally made an apprience at another worcs round after having motor troubles and having to rebuild my whole motor. it was the the last round for the atv's for the 07' season.
this year ending in Taft, CA.
this weekend definately didnt go as hoped for. friday practice was pretty good and so was satruday. Saturdays race went alright didnt get the greatest juump off the line and kinda got pushed outside the first turn. the track showed its true roughness being the roughest track so far i think for worcs. i ended up finishing 8th and only a sec. or two out of 6th.
sundays race did not go anywhere close to what i had hoped for. got a great jump off the line and thought i was going to grab the holeshot and my bike started bogging, it ended up being this way for the 2 laps that i did and was running horrible. i pitted on the start of lap three for goggles and let my dad know it wasnt running good. i restarted and pulled off shortly after due to my bike running far to rich to accomadate to the wether that morning.
im dissapointed in my finishes for this weekend but cant wait to start the 08' season in speedworld in january. =]
want to send a congrats out to worcs championship winners this weekend.

this weekend started off really good going up to toutle washington to Riverdale Raceway. the long drive put an even bigger excitement on finally getting to the track on friday. getting there and getting the bike unloaded and prepped for the weekend to come. got them teched and ready for staturday. Staturday morning came around and the unclassfied was there already, i went out for practice and the track was readlly fun and awesome track it was already getting really rough and the moto was really fun. i got ready to do production B and i was off to a good start and towards the end of the race i had some problems with my stabilizer and ended up getting passed by a few people. ending it with a 9th place finish moving me up in points championship. sunday came around for my sport b race i got a good start and by the first turn was in first for the fitst 2 laps. i dropped down to second place for a lap and then first place broke putting me back in first with a huge lead and bringing me my first podium in worcs and my first first. thanks to everyone who helped me and all my sponsors.

On saturday the 19th Big River and Rev-on racing held there first night race. I thought the night was gunna be good and started off awesome i got my swing arm welded and it back together so i could race. We went out in the desert for a ride before the race and i ended up just breaking the welds. Going back to the trailer very dissapointing and trying to get overyone to figure out that im not racing no matter how much they told me i still should! But it turns out John from Blanchard racing had a bike that was up for sale that i was able to used the rear end off of. So with the help of many ppl we got the rear end switched out in about an unbelieveable 15 minutes with everyones help. The awards were help and turned out pretty good I took First in novice as well as jason taking First in Expert, while jacob took a third in Begginer. Practice came around and it was good there was kinda some poor lighting and a couple dark spots came up along the track. But racing was good i took First in class (due to jason having to leave due to family reasons) and First overall. It was a good fun night and a fun way to end the season. Cant wait till next season.
I wanna send a BIG thanks out to John from Blanchard Racing for letting me borrow that rear end and to all the ppl who helped me swith it out in such a quick amount of time haha! also thanks to all my sponsors and my dad.!

The 5th round of WORCS has come around. It was great weekend of racing. Me,Jacob, And Roy all left friday morning and headed on our way to Los Olivos, CA. We got there at about 2 and got our bikes all ready and went and did tech. and checked the track out and it looked to be a fun one to come. Saturday morning came around and we went out for unclassified and the track was a very fun one. The offroad section was really rough and dusty but still fun, the motocross track was really fun but muddy. My production b race came up and due to a bad outside line i didnt have the greatest start. After picking off a couple people i ended up with an 8th place finish. Sport B came around Sunday and I got a better line and ended up getting the holeshot, by the second turn one guy had got past me. Coming back on the motorcross section one guy passed me but i passed him back a couple turns later. Coming close to the scoring for the secong lap threw i landed hard of a double and broke the shock mounts of of my swing arm taking me out of the reace.
Although i didnt get to finish sport B and didnt have the greatest in production b it was still a good weekend, the weather was awesome and so was the track. Friends and other racers at the track made the weekend a blast. Wanna send a thanks out to Roy Quinn for taking me once again and My dad for letting me go.

Today started out good both teammates from Riskee Behavior were able to make it and both racing. I went out for practice was feeling pretty good. My teammate matt had approched me and asked if he moved up to expert if i would weith him and i was thinking about it and he talked me into to it. i moved up to expert something i never thought i would be able to do! I got up to the gate and i was pretty nervour at this point haha i had been in novice and never thouhgt i would be going into EXPERT! i mean my coach races this and im not as fast as him. but i had confidence. The green flag dropped and i took the hole shot! i got a little messed up on the first two tables and thouhgt i was going down for sure haha. but saved it luckily. I had got a pretty big gap on these guys but the second lap something i never thouhgt i could do. but i was getting tired and on the last lap couldnt hold off second place any longer but i was more then satisfied with second! Secong moto comes around and didnt have as good as start was 4th into the turn and ended up passing two guys pretty quick putting me in 2nd. First place kyle pethers was long gone and no way i was gunna be able to catch him, so i took a 2nd overall in my first expert race! i just wanna thank my coach jason and teammate matt for being there for me and doing all that they do for me! thanks guys

March 25 sunday river mx held another round. boy was it a good one! I got there saturday afternoon to practie on my new bike cause i knew it would be there awaiting me. so i get on my second lap and it stalls. i pull off the track get it started and try going until i realize my chain came off. i get it back to pits and fix that and later that night in practice i find out i cracked my case when it happened. So a little jb weld and 30 mins later im back and running. Sunday comes around and i am pumped to race on my new ride. I get to the starting line and the green flag drops i had a decent start. i end up getting pushed up to the soft part and top o fthe berm setting me back. I make some passes putting me in 2nd place. I had an expert in front of me that i couldn't pass the whole moto he just wouldnt get out of my way so i settled for a second place. The next moto i am ready and really pumped, i get a good inside line spot on the starting line. the flag drops and im gone! i get the holeshot. not only did i get the holeshot but i kept it to. by the third turn on the track and a couple jumps i had at least a 20 second lead on the whole field. beating three experts and not seeing them for the rest of the 7 laps. I ended up taking a first which gave me a first overall. That weekend was good. I would send a big thanks out to my coach and friend Jason Perkinson# 422 for all the help he has given me and now i have your bike, im gunna keep the trophies coming my way on this bike, just so you know its your bike and your the one who made me to be this kind of racer! thanks jason! and another thanks out to my dad! love you! couldnt be this fast without your help either!

Lake Havasu City, AZ, is where rnd. 3 took place. prolly the roughfest and most demanding coarse on the rider and there machine. I was hoping it would be a good race. Saturday went out for my first race and got a 8th in production b with a pretty bad start and a little pile up that i was stuck behind. Later that day me and my teamate/ coach Jason Perkinson took a 2nd in the team A race. TAlking it over with my dad and coach i had deciede i was gunna put my numbers on Jason's quad which will soon be my new quad. I raced Sport 15-29 B class and took a 5th place. I wanna send out a BIG thanks out to Jason and my dad for all the help and support.

This round of River Mx was a pretty good turn out. There was alot of quads to show up. I was happy to see my coach Jason #422 to be there with his quad. The first moto i had a 2nd place until i passed someone in a crash and had 1st. with the track conditions being rough and dusty i couldnt hold him off for the last couple turns till the finish line ending up with a 2nd. The second moto came around and i had a pretty good start and held off 1st for a good lap but with track conditions not being good i let a guy passed and settled for a 2nd place and was happy sitting there for the rest of the race. I want to thank Jason for coming out it was good to see you there again and im glad that you were able to ride. I enjoy the support.
STATS FOR THE RACE!
Jason Perkinson # 422- 4th/ Exp Quad
Roy Smith # 414- 2nd/ Nov Quad
