Made the move to Honda...

I recently decided to make the move over to Honda.  Since it's the year end and time to get new bikes for the new race season, I decided to explore all my options.  I love the new Honda four-stroke mini.  It has unbelievable power!  We are still waiting for the official rules to be announced on classes the four-stoke will be allowed in but I am sure that is way everyone will be going in the future.  So with that being the case I thought Honda would be the way to go.

Thanks to Honda of Houston for helping me out on the new bikes... that place is awesome!  We picked up my new bikes on Nov. 1st and couldn't be happier.  Although I loved my Suzuki's, this is a very exciting move for me and fresh start for the new race season.  I love how my new Honda 85's handle and can't wait to compete! 

Thanks to my parents for making this happen and also to Honda of Houston - the #1 no hassle place to purchase Honda's and Big Thanks to Pro Works Racing for getting my new bikes race ready and helping me to stay out front!!

Broken Wrist 8/22/06

Unfortunately I sustained a broken wrist late August.  My left side this time... I actually compressed the bone and had to be in a long arm cast for 6 weeks.  My doc had to reset it 3 times so I got 4 different cast with this one injury... what a pain!  

That really messed up my plans for Branson this year.  I would just be getting my cast off right before the trip so I had to cancel.  I hated to miss that one, I heard it was a great race and lots of fun.  I have some local friends who went and did pretty well.  Way to represent guys!   Hopefully I will make that one next year.  Right now, I am concentrating on building up my left arm since it had be bent in that long arm cast for 6 weeks.   Comes with the territory I guess.  I am back on my way so see you on track everyone!

Ponca City Grand National Championships

This year I had another great experience at Ponca and met some really cool friends.  This was the 3rd year I competed at Ponca and I was hoping for better results but wasn't so lucky.  I placed 7th in the Mod class and 10th in the Open going into the main but during the last race I went down and ended up in 24th.  I ended up with a 23rd overall in the Mod.

I wasn't real happy with my results but I am going to work harder and give it all I got to come back next time.  I actually wrecked in the Stock class and pulled my grip completely off so I was done after that and didn't even finish the race.  Talk about bad luck!   The experience overall was really good but I am ready to put that one behind me and look forward to bouncing back for the next race.  Thanks to Randall & Kevin at Pro Works Racing and all my sponsors for helping us out once again.  I'm looking forward to the new year and lots of racing!
