Fulton County Weekend - Updated October 3, 2008

Last weekend I raced at Fulton Co. MX in Rochester. The morning race there were only 2 mini quad riders, me and Kade Wagner. First moto the gate dropped and I took off but Kade stalled it when he went to take off. It left me with a big lead and a first moto win. 2nd moto I took the holeshot and Kade did a great job keeping right on my tail. Half way through the race he had some mechanical problems which left me taking the overall win. During the night race I took the holeshot first moto with Abby Boyer in 2nd. She and Kade had a great race going for 2nd. Kade stayed close and didnt let Abby out of his site. I took 1st with Abby taking 2nd and Kade a close 3rd. 2nd moto Abby got me in the wholeshot. That lead to an awesome race for 1st. I was in a very close 2nd and Kade was in a very close 3rd. We stuck to each other like glue. There were even times when all 3 of us were bumping tires at the same time in the corners. This moto pushed all 3 of us to ride our hardest. As much as I tried, I just couldn't get around Abby. At the end of the 2nd moto Abby got 1st, I took 2nd and Kade took 3rd. That was an awesome race! Great job Abby and Kade! This weekend I will be at Trojan Raceway. It's my favorite track...too bad it is their last race of the season!

State Championship Wrap-Up - Updated September 22, 2008
This past Sunday was the last race of the State Series at Leisuretime GP in Medaryville. We drove up a day early and set up camp. Saturday evening was a lot of fun. I brought a bunch of balls and had a dodge ball fight with a lot of my track friends. It was so much fun! Later we had a campfire and listened to the live band that was provided for entertainment by the track owners. The next morning the pits really started filling up. The weather was perfect! I was quite nervous. This race determined who was going to be the state champion. It was a very close series in my class. As the gates dropped in the first moto I took the holeshot. It wasn't an easy moto as I had riders on my backside at every corner. I rode hard and won the first moto. Between motos I enjoyed another dodgeball fight with a bunch of friends in the pit area.

It was a blast! Hanging with my friends at the track is just as fun as racing! My buddy Blake even came and supported his mini quad friends. It was nice to see him. I had not seen him since his accident 2 weeks ago.
Second moto I took the holeshot again. This moto was the same as the first, riders right on my tail the entire race! As the white flag came out I started having a hard time breathing. I began to hyperventilate and struggled to finish my last lap. I could feel riders on my tail so I tried really hard to keep the lead. Just a few turns before the checkered my lil buddy Kade Wagner passed me. Great job Kade - you were rockin! I took a first overall in this race and Kade took 2nd. My overall results allowed me wrap up the State Championship Series! It was a tough run but I did it!
Special congratulations to my little brother Adam. He rode hard and finished the State Championship Series in 3rd place!! Great job Adam!
Next weekend I will be racing at Fulton County. I haven't been there since they made their track changes, so I look forward to riding the new track design! Hope to see you there!

Wabash State Race - Updated September 8, 2008
This weekend was the 2nd of 3 State Races. This one was at the Wabash Cannonball in Wabash, Indiana. We drove up Saturday afternoon so that we did not have to get up extra early on Sunday. On our way up to the track we were informed of some sad news. My best buddy and competitor, Blake Sarver, had crashed during practice earlier that day and had broken his arm. I was so sad when I found out. Not having Blake at the track is like not having my quad there! He is one of my best friends and we do everything together. He will be out for the rest of the season and I don't know what I will do without him there. His dad did promise to bring him up to watch a few of the races...so I at least have that to look forward to...but racing just won't be the same without him. I will miss him not being at the track every weekend.
That evening me and my family swam at the hotel and ordered in pizza. Sunday morning we headed to the track. Being a state race, it was packed. The track was awesome, but it developed bad ruts everywhere! Anyone who races a quad knows that bad ruts means a rough ride!
As I, and a bunch of my mini quad competitors, lined up for the first moto...we were saddened that Blake wasn't there so we did a special "boom shucka, lucka" dance in honor of Blake. Anyone who knows Blake and I know that we like to do that dance while waiting to take off at the holeshot during most of our races. It's just a way for us to have fun and relieve some of the stress before the race. Blake...we did that dance...just for you!! Get well soon buddy!
Despite the tough competition and rough track conditions, I took 1st both motos of the 2nd state race. I won this race for Blake...that one was for you buddy! There is one state race left to go...anything can happen!

Womens Championship - Updated September 1, 2008

This weekend I headed up to Hangtime to race the Women's Championship. During the first moto I took the holeshot and kept the lead with Lindsey Sandel and Abby Boyer on my tail. Just before the white flag my chain fell off. I was passed by 4 riders before we got my chain back on. I managed to pass a few riders in the last lap and was right on Abby's tail, but didn't have enough time left to try and pass. It left me finishing in 3rd place behind Lindsey, who took 1st and Abby, who took 2nd.

Second moto I grabbed the wholeshot and as I was coming down the hill out of nowhere came my friend Abby. From that moment on we had an awesome race going with Abby in first, me in second and Lindsey Sandel in 3rd. Around every corner and at every jump we stuck together like glue. It was an awesome race! We weren't about to let each other out of our sights. Abby held her position for 1st in the 2nd moto with me in 2nd and Lindsey in 3rd.

Abby ran hard and won the Women's Championship in the mini quad class! Congratulations Abby! She ran hard and stayed consistant and it paid off! She deserved it!! GREAT JOB!

Next weekend I will be racing the State Race at Wabash Cannonball. Hopefully the issue with my chain will be corrected by then. It's been a big issue in the last few races but we think we might have found the problem... I guess we will just have to wait and see!

State Race Weekend - Updated August 27, 2008

This weekend races were at D&D motorsports in Rochester, IN. Because it was the weekend of the first state race, we drove up Friday evening to get our campsite situated. My best friend Alyssa came with me. After setting up camp we lit up a campfire and had fun just hanging out with some friends. My buddy Alix came over and gave us a pyrotech show being silly and igniting things in the fire.

Saturday morning it was time to race. I didn't do as well as i had hoped. I took a 3rd overall behind my buddy Blake. Saturday was extremely hot. We struggled with the heat all day. When the races were over my family, along with Blake and his dad, headed into town to grab a bite to eat and sit in the air conditioning. When we got to the restaurant we were the only customers. Me and Alyssa were feeling silly and started dancing to the 60's music they had playing over the speakers. Not having an audience, Alyssa went up and danced for the person at the front counter. Then one of the workers came back by us and started dancing with us!! It was pretty funny! We had soo much fun!

Later that evening Blake's Dad invited us, along with Mattie and Jazzy, over to their family lakehouse in Rochester to go swimming. None of us had packed our bathing suits, so we just swam in our clothes! It was soooo much fun! After leaving there we headed back to the racetrack and lit up a campfire. Then we went over and watched a movie that the trackowners had set up by the consession stand.

Sunday morning was the first of the 3 state races. This first race was a hard one. I had some bad luck in the 2nd moto when my chain popped of way back in the woods. By the time I had gotten it back on I was passed by almost all the riders. Because of my bad 2nd moto...I ended up with a 4th overall.

Between first and second moto Me, Alyssa, Ryan, Brantley, Blake, Jacob, Jagg and Adam had a big water fight. It was soooo much fun! We kept dumping water all over each other. We were all soaked!! It was awesome!!! I love being at the track and I love all my friends there!

School Starting - Updated August 18, 2008

I want to take a minute to again apologize for not keeping you updated on my race weekends. School is quickly approaching so I've been busy shopping and preparing!

The Weekend of August 9th I headed over to D&D Motorsports to race the last weekend of the "Beat The Sundown Series" I took 1st place all 3 races that weekend and wrapped up the series taking 1st.

This past weekend I headed over to Trojan Raceway for a weekend of racing. Saturday morning during the first Moto I broke an a-arm bolt and was unable to finish the race. I thought I was out for the weekend then Mr. Hollinger (Rob) offered to take a part off of his son Mason's quad so that I could race the Saturday evening race. Thank you Mr. Hollinger for being so generous! I was pumped for the night race but nervous because I had some fast competition to face.

First moto I managed to take the lead at the 2nd corner and worked hard to keep that lead. I felt comfortable and smooth on the track. I pushed hard and kept my first position during the entire race. I took 1st in the first moto.As I lined up at the gate for the 2nd moto I was nervous and was hoping to have the same run as the first moto. As the gate dropped I took 2nd in the holeshot behind Jacob Klingaman. He has a superfast quad so I knew that if I wanted to pass him I would have to push extra hard. During the first lap as we were coming down from the uphill section of the track I was able to pass Jacob. I could feel him still on my tail so I just pressed on as fast as I could. As the moto went on I developed a comfortable lead and took 1st...giving me 1st overall. It was an awesome race...one of my best races this season!

Thanks again to the Hollinger Family for giving me the part off one of their machines so that I could race the night race. They are a truly awesome family and I'm glad they are back at the track racing again!I'd like to take a minute to tell my lil brother Adam that I'm proud of him. He had a really bad crash during his 2nd moto of the night race...but he still got back up and finished the race. He's a tough cookie and I'm glad he is OK! Great job Adam!

Next weekend I'll be at D&D for the 1st race of the state race series!

Haley's Updates - Updated August 5, 2008

Hi everyone...I'm sorry for not keeping my page updated so I will do my best to get you caught up on the last few weeks.

The weekend of July 18th I raced at Trojan Raceway in North Webster, Indiana. I took 1st on Friday, 2nd in both the races on Saturday and 1st on Sunday. The following weekend we choose to take the weekend off and me and my family headed out to Cedar Point for a nice summer break. That was the first time I had been there and i had sooo much fun riding all the roller coasters!

Last weekend I raced at Hangtime MX in Akron, Indiana. It wasn't a real good day for me. During the first moto of the morning race I was running in 2nd place when I popped my chain....twice! Between motos my parents put a new chain on my quad. It helped out a lot. 2nd moto I took a 2nd place behind my friend Blake. Despite the misfortunes first moto I still ended up with a 3rd overall.

During the first moto of the night race I took 2nd place. When the 2nd moto started I took 3rd in the holeshot. I worked hard to catch Jacob in the 2nd position but during the moto I blew my gears. I didn't get to finish the race. I ended up with 5th overall.

It was a tough weekend for me but my parents are working hard to get my quad up and running for D&D next weekend. Hope to see you all there!

Beat the Sundown - Updated July 14, 2008

This past Saturday I headed out to D&D to run the Beat The Sundown Series. We ran into a little rain on the way there, but by the time practice had started the track was completely covered in wet, milky mud. As I took off for practice I found it hard to make it up any of the hills because of the mud. My quad was sucking in a lot of water, so it started popping and losing power. I pulled off the track. My mom felt it was in the best interest of me and my quad to not run the race. The only other mini quad there that morning was my good friend Blake. His dad choose not to run him either.

I spent that morning just hanging out. At lunchtime me, Blake and our families headed into town to grab a bite...then it was back to the track. By then the sun had come out and the track was starting to dry out nicely. During the first moto I took the holeshot and a 1st overall. As the gate dropped in the 2nd moto I got distracted and my friend Blake got a good 1 second jump over me. It was just enough for him to grab a great holeshot. By the time the 2nd lap was almost up I was on his tail and eager to pass where ever I could. Before I got a chance to test my passing ability, Blake lost a bolt on one of his a-arms which left me taking 1st in the 2nd moto and a 1st overall. Blake, I'm sooo sorry your quad broke down. I was having fun chasing you!

Anyone at the track who knows me, knows Blake. He is one of my best friends at the track. He is also my biggest competitor. Sure, we are competitive on the track, but get us off the track and we are great buddies! He is a great competitor and a great friend! It's friends like him that help make racing soo much fun. I have so many other great friends at the track too. If it had not been for me racing, I would have never had met so many wonderful people!

Next weekend I plan on camping out and racing all the Trojan races. I'm very excited about it because Trojan is my favorite track! The following weekend I will be testing my riding skills at a new level. I will be racing my first national race at Redbud in Buchanan, MI. I'm both nervous and excited about it! A lot of my local rider friends will be there, so that will make things a lot easier! I can't wait!

Sweet 16 Wild Weekend - Updated June 30, 2008

This past weekend was crazy but fun. I headed up for the Friday night race at Sweet 16 with my friend Liz. It had rained really hard right before we got there. The track conditions were bad so they cancelled the race. So we just set up camp and had fun hanging out with some friends. Saturday morning the track was still muddy from an overnight shower...but races went on as planned. During my first moto it was pouring down rain. The whole track was a slick, muddy mess. I took the holeshot and held my position until about half way through the race...as I approached a corner I spun out and my buddy Blake got by me. I finished the race in 2nd place. There was no second moto because of the track conditions, so I ended up with a 2nd overall.

The Saturday night race produced better track conditions but the power of my quad could not compete with my buddy Blake who took the holeshot in both motos and took 1st overall. I took 2nd. Awesome racing Blake...you rocked out there!

I won't be racing next weekend. I'm taking the weekend off. I will be heading over to Redbud next Sunday to watch the Pros! I'm really excited about that! I'll be back at D&D the following weekend...Have a Happy and safe 4th of July!

Trojan Raceway Quad Clash - Updated June 27, 2008

This past weekend I raced at Trojan Raceway in North Webster, Indiana. The Friday night race there were only 3 mini quad riders at the track. I took first both motos which gave me an overall first. Saturday morning there was a better mini quad turnout. There were 7 quads on the gate. Again, I took 1st both motos for another overall first.

Between the morning and afternoon race it poured down rain. The excessive amount caused the track to be like a giant mudpit. The quad clash was that evening, but because of all the rain there wasn't as good of a turnout as expected. The Klinger family worked hard to get the track back in shape...and they did a great job! I took 1st both motos for an overall quad clash win.

Special thanks to my buddies Blake and Grant for giving me such an awesome run this weekend...you keep me on my toes and make racing soo much fun! My next race is at Sweet 16...and im looking forward to it!

Trojan Raceway Weekend Results - Updated June 9, 2008

Wow...this weekend at Trojan Raceway was full of excitement, disappointment but also a whole lot of fun! Saturday morning my buddy Grant and I were neck and neck in the 1st moto holeshot. Just before the corner he pulled ahead of me but I cornered tight and got past him. I held my position for a 1st place.

Second moto was filled with disappointment and chaos for quite a few riders. As we took off in the holeshot Grant pulled the lead. I was following close behind him and after the first lap I hit this nasty sand rut and popped a chain. By the time my mom had gotten my chain back on Grant had pulled a huge lead and I was passed by Brogan and Blake. I worked really hard trying to reel them all back in when Brogan broke down leaving me back in the 3rd position. I then tried working on catching up with Blake. As the last lap approached Grant landed hard on a jump and lost the master link on his chain. He was out of the race. That left Blake taking 1st and me with a 2nd. That was a bad moto for quite a few of us mini quads. There was a lot of problems for all of us!

Because I had taken 1st in the first moto, and Blake had taken 3rd or 4th it still left me with a 1st overall.

During the 1st moto of the second race, Grant and I were, again, neck and neck in the holeshot. As we approached the corner, Grant pulled the lead. I wasn't about to let him get away. We had the most awesome race going. I was on his butt like glue. Every corner, I was there. We were even jumping over jumps at the same time and bumping tires in the air! The crowd was going crazy... it was awesome! As we approached a corner I managed to grab the inside line and get passed Grant. Grant overshot the berm and put his quad in a big mud hole. I came up to the finish line and saw the flag wave so I pulled off and waited to congratulate my competitors. As I sat there waiting, and waiting, a friend of mine notified me that there was still one lap to go! By the time I got back on the track I had been passed by 2 riders!!! I couldn't believe I made that stupid mistake. I was flying...trying to catch up to those 2 riders. As I was approaching Blake he had some problems getting out of a corner and I got by him. I worked hard that lap and caught up to Grant...I was right on his tail but was unable to pass him before the checkered flag. He had taken 1st and I was 2nd.

As the gate dropped for the second moto I, once again, was neck and neck with Grant in the holeshot. I managed to get ahead of him and was in the 1st position. I rode as hard as I could and maintained a good lead in front of Grant. I took 1st that moto and a 1st overall.

Wow...and who said motocross wasn't exciting? Between all the excitement of the races and being able to hang out with my awesome friends...I had a great day! I'll be taking next weekend off but will be back at Trojan Raceway on June 20th.

D&D Motorsports - Beat the Sundown Series - Updated June 3, 2008

This weekend I headed out to D&D Motorsports for the first weekend of the "Beat The Sundown" series. Saturday morning the track was a mess. It had poured down rain the night before leaving the track with thick, wet sand. Everyone struggled to get through the deep, wet sand. My machine struggled to get up the hills leaving it not only a battle of the quads but a battle with the sand too. Despite the conditions, I took first place in both of the Saturday races.

Sunday morning the track had dried out beautifully and I was ready to roll! During practice I hit a jump. When I landed I heard a crack and then I lost control of my quad. I had broken a bolt that holds my a-arm to my tire. I was so bummed. Even though it was only a $5 part, we didn't have an extra. I didn't get to race.

My parents are working hard to get my quad fixed. I'm hoping to have it done in time to race Trojan Raceway...it,s my favorite track! Wish us luck!

Trojan Raceway - Buff Daddy | BadAzz Babe Weekend - Updated June 3, 2008

Memorial Day weekend I headed over to Trojan Raceway to run the Buff Daddy Series. I was so pumped to race this series. I ran it last year and had so much fun. My family camped next to our friends The Johnstons and The Sandels. We had so much fun camping with them last year that we decided to do it again! We had a great mini quad turnout all weekend. The first 4 races of the series I took an overall first. It wasn't easy though because I had some really good competition. As I was getting ready for the 5th race on Sunday I jumped on my quad to go down for practice and it wouldn't start! Come to find out the stator had gone out and took out the cdi box and the coil. I had worked hard to lead in the series so obviously I was upset. Well thanks to the Klinger Family I had a quad to ride. They allowed me to race their son's quad! It was weird at first because it just had a totally different feel to it. Mine had a handbrake and his had a footbrake. It was altogether different. Well, despite the differences, I managed a 3rd place for Sunday night.

Monday morning was the last race of the series. It was a grand prix which is a mixture of motocross and harescrambles. The track owners decided not to run the mini quads in the woods portion of the track so it left us running 20 minutes of technical riding. It was hot out that day so I knew it would be tiring. I still had a loner quad . I took the holeshot and tried my best to keep it. As I continued through the race I became weak and overheated. As I was coming down from the uphill I came up on the whoops and tried to tap the footbrake...but i missed it and hit the whoops at a fast speed. The force of the quad bucked me really bad and I almost flipped the quad. I hit my chest against the handlebars and knocked the wind out of myself.

Between the heat exhaustion and not being able to breathe I felt like I was going to pass out. I knew that if I didn't get at least a 3rd place that I would lose the whole series. By then I had fallen back to 2nd. I felt myself getting weaker and weaker but I pressed on. The 20 minutes seemed like an hour. I was so hot I had to make a quick stop and give my mom my goggles so that I could get some air on my face. The last 2 laps seemed to last forever. I was so weak I didn't know where I was getting the strength to keep going. At last I came across the checkered flag. I barely made it back to my campsite. The series was over and I had won it. That race was the most difficult race I had ever competed in.

I want to take a minute to congratulate all the mini quads that raced that weekend. They all did great! A special congratulations to my buddy Blake Sarver for giving me such a good run. He kept me on my toes the entire series and made me work hard to win.

During the Memorial Day weekend I also participated in a "Race 2 a Cure" and a track walk to raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. I was happy to participate because raising money for this cause hit close to home. I lost my grandmother to breast cancer when I was 3yrs old. I remember what a wonderful lady she was and it makes me sad when I think about all that I miss not having her in my life. I want to take a minute to thank all the people and families that sponsored my walk. Without them I couldn't have raised the money I did.

Fulton County MX Wrap-up - Updated May 13, 2008

This weekend I raced at Fulton County MX in Rochester, Indiana. Our plan was to stay the entire weekend, but the rain threw a wrench in the plans. Reads Racing, the track promoter made a tough decision and canceled the race scheduled for Sunday. I did get a lot of track time in though. I was able to race the Friday night event and and both races on Saturday!

At practice I felt pretty good. I stayed smooth and gained more confident every lap. The track was still in great shape at race time. My quad was hooking real good and I began to get into a zone. I found the grooves and got a real feel for the track. There was a okay mini quad turnout this weekend. I pulled the holeshot during all 6 of my motos and took home 3 first place overall finishes.

I'll be at Hangtime MX Park in Akron, Indiana next weekend where I expect to have some real competition ready to race me. Hangtime MX Park sure isn't my best track. I've got my work cut out for me! I'll just do my best to keep on keepin' on. You know that's right. Hope to see you all there!

Racing News - Updated May 4, 2008

This weekend I raced the 2 Saturday races at Sweet 16 MX in Fort Wayne. It's the first time in 2 years that I have been to this track. The rain managed to hold off and the morning races went off without a hitch.

There were 5 mini quads during the morning race. During the first moto I took the holeshot and was passed in the first lap by Blake Sarver. I worked hard to try to catch him but was unsuccessful. When the second moto approached, I was feeling more comfortable with the track. As the gate dropped, I throttled hard and took the holeshot, but Blake was right on my tail. I pushed hard and stayed focused and took the checkered flag for an the overall win.
Great race Blake!

Between motos I went to Pizza Hut with my friends Lindsey and Blake. We had so much fun! We giggled, laughed and had a cheese fight! As we were leaving Pizza Hut we spotted a "Big Boy" restaurant across the street...you are probably wondering...whats the big deal about a "Big Boy" restaurant!? Well, it wasn't the restaurant we were excited about, it was the Giant Big Boy Statue standing in front of it. Me and Lindsey jumped out of the truck and had our pictures taken with him. Ya, we probably looked pretty silly standing on busy road taking pictures with "Big Boy" but we didn't care...it was fun! As we jumped back into the truck we had the overwhelming urge to act like goofballs (it must have been all that mt. dew we drank during lunch...lol) We started screaming, shouting and saying "Hi" out the window to anyone and everyone.

Ya, people probably though we were total goofballs, but we didn't care... it was all in good fun!

When we got back to the track for the night race, the wind blowing hard...real hard!! It started to get cool and the sky looked like it was going to produce rain. There was a great mini quad turnout that night...11 of us! As the gate dropped in the first moto, I took the holeshot. Again, my biggest competitor, Blake was on my tail. He pushed me hard. It seemed as if I couldn't gain any ground on him. I depended on my experience and instinct to get me through to a 1st moto win at the checkered flag.

As the sky got darker, we took off the gate to start our second moto. I had a terrific start and pushed my hardest. Blake got a bad jump off the gate and by the time he had passed the other riders that had gotten in front of him, I was too far ahead for him to catch. So I again took a first for the overall win.

I had an awesome day at the races and I look forward to many more. I still cant get over how much all the other mini quad riders are improving. They had all kinds of races going between themselves. Keep up the good work everyone...you are doing awesome, awesome, awesome!

I want to give a special congratulations to my lil' bro Adam. He just switched over from a KTM to a Cobra and He rode awesome this weekend! He continues to improve with every race! Also, a special congratulations to my friend Lindsey. She got a new racing quad and although she is a 14yr old girl racing a Honda 300...she rode with the big quads and kicked some of their butts!! Woo Hoo...you go girl!

New Sponsor - Updated May 1, 2008

I've picked up a new sponsor; Monster Energy! I am a member of the Monster Army.

Racing News - Updated April 28, 2008

This weekend I raced the Friday night race and the two Saturday races at Fulton County MX. They had made some new track changes and I was excited to try it out. Friday night my biggest competitor was Blake Sarver. He brought his new quad ... we call it "the beast" because it is sooo fast! He rode his quad hard and took 1st Friday night handing me 2nd. Saturday morning Blake won the first moto, but I managed to get the holeshot in the second moto and held him off for the overall win. Saturday night I again took the holeshot with Blake on my tail. We both rode hard and gave the crowd a great show. I was able to hold Blake off and take 1st in that moto. During the 2nd moto Blake pulled the holeshot but I passed him early on the track. Some malfunction caused him to slow down for a bit. - more below -

There were a few quads between us but within a lap Blake was hot on my tail again. He passed me in the front whoops. He rode hard and took 1st overall. I took 2nd that race. Blake...you raced awesome this weekend. I had a lot of fun racing with you.

It was a great turn for the mini-quads this weekend. I can't tell how everyone else was riding, I was kinda busy myself. I did hear from some of my 2 wheeled racing friends that alot of the other mini-quads are gettin' faster, No need to tell me that, I can feel them breathing down my neck. The whole pack is starting to keep a closer eye on the leaders. It's beginning to shape up to be a great season. I get the feeling I'll be in some tough battles before the season ends. Great,... I love the competition. It's a great feeling to win. But I think I'm having more fun racing bar to bar than I am winning right now. Having close races is what keeps it exciting for me. I am not going to slow down for anyone. It isn't fair to the competition and isn't fair to the fans, and isn't fair to me. If you want to beat me, just work harder and when you do beat me, you can rest assured I gave it my best and you beat me fair and square. But don't think I won't be back lookin' for revenge, hahaha! It just works that way in racing.

I'll be at Sweet 16 next weekend if it doesnt rain. Hope to see you all there!

Racing News - Updated April 21, 2008

I'm so excited that racing season is back into full swing, but with the unpredictable weather, I haven't been racing as much as I have wanted to. I raced all day on Saturday, March 29th at Hangtime MX Park. That track isn't my best, so I had to work extra hard to keep up with the competition. It all paid off because I got 1st place both races!

My next race was on April 5th & 6th during the LLQ Qualifiers at Hangtime MX Park again. The place was just booming. There were over 500 race entries on both Saturday and Sunday. The overwhelming number of classes caused the track to be extremely rutty. My racing pal Grant hit a deep rut coming up the 110 tabletop and came into the air sideways. He flipped his quad and ended up chipping a bone in his leg. It put him out of racing for a minimum of 6 weeks. Despite the nasty rutting of the track, I rode hard and took 1st both days.
