Hi Everyone,



It has been awhile.  Took longer than expected to get back at racing after my injury. Went to Santa Clara MX to compete in the Trans Cal National Series. 



I did great in both my classes.  The supermini class was extremely challenging with some very fast riders. I rode my Kawasaki 100 taking a third place. 



I also rode my Honda 150 in the 150 open class taking second place. 



I am going to try to finish the series, next race is at Club Moto and then Hollister Hills.  I have never been to either track so it should be a lot of fun.

I was going to Hollister, "CMC Spring Series"  last weekend but my parents decided at the last minute to go to Ukiah so I could pick up my 2007 Fall Series awards.   I won 1st place in 65 Novice and 85 Novice Class. We have been waiting a long time for the awards so we decided to go to Ukiah.

I must be having bad luck.  In the Big Wheel Class, I crashed and broke my middle finger on my right hand.  I have a full cast from my elbow to the tips of my fingers.  I will be out for at least 4 weeks. 

I was hoping to make the rest of the CMC Springs series but it looks like I might get lucky and make the last couple of races of the series. 

Look for me, I will be back!!!

First time ever....racing arenacross.

My parents finally took me to arenacross at Arco Arena in Sacramento on 2-24-08.

What a blast!

Had lots of Fun!

I rode in the 85 Supermini class - I was going to ride my Honda 150 but just before the first heat I had a problem with the bike and had to switch to my Kawasaki 85.  Did great - I qualified for the main.  The main event I fell but was able to get going and took 13 place.  My friend Mogo took 9th place - his first time too.

I also rode in the 85 12- 15 class - I missed out qualify in the heat race by one - I crashed ---- I qualified in the last chance qualifier and had to start in the second row for the main but I was able to get a good start and took 7th place.

SuperMoto is next!

Hi Everyone,

I went to the Golden State Series Rnd 3 & 4 at Argyll Park, Dixon, CA

Rnd 3 : I raced in the 85 12-13, 150 Open and the supermini class.  I had the time of my life. The Argyll race track was great.  I placed 7th in the supermini class which had some very fast riders in this class -  I am not quite at their level of riding yet.  I took 3rd in the 85 12 -13 and 1st in the 150 Open class.

Rnd 4: I raced the same classes as I did in Rnd 3.  I took 3rd in the 150 Open class, My friend Mago took 2nd. I placed 2nd in the 85 12-13 class and 4th in the supermini.

Check out my pictures on my New Honda 150.

My parents decided against the Kawasaki 100 and 140.

I got a new Honda 150 for Christmas.

I was surprised.

Arthur

My parents are thinking I would be better off with a Kawasaki 100 instead of the new 140 that is coming out soon.

Everyone is saying that the 140 is a trail bike that the 100 would be better for MX.

Looks like I will be getting a Kawasaki 100.

Looks like I will be racing the Northern California Golden State Series. First race begins Dec 9th in Hollister.  My parents are not sure if I will do the complete series. I will no longer be racing in the 65 class.  The Ukiah race on November 18 is my last 65 race. I am moving up and only racing in the 85 classes.  I am also getting the new Kawasaki 140.

I started racing again this weekend.  My parents decided I needed to start out slow and work my way back to where I was before I broke my ankle.  I now wear the Scott Genius boot, my parents think that if I was wearing this boot I may not have broken my ankle.  The boot is only made in adult sizes, so I had to get an adult size 8.  The boot is great looking.

We went to Ukiah to race.   I placed 2nd in the 85 Novice class and 1st in the 65 Novice. 

I am hoping to get back to my top racing form quickly so I can start racing the other series soon.  I am thinking about Trans-Cal, AMP and the Dodge Nationals.

See ya there

I am in the 6th grade this year.  Our school is year round. We started school on July 18th. Last year I earned straight "A"s on my report card.  I am going to study hard and do my best this year as well.  My school schedule makes it a little more difficult to race during the summer since I only get 5 weeks off unfortunately I was in a splint for 6 weeks!

I have not been able to start riding yet due to a minor complication with my ankle.  I can't wait to get back to racing but it looks like I might have to wait a little longer.  My dad says hopefully I can start out slowly this October and work my self back up to the level I was at before my accident. 

I am going to play baseball this fall as well and try to build the strength back in my ankle. 

Hope everyone is doing great and injury free.

Goodluck and hope to see ya soon!

Arthur
