i haven't had the greatest year either only went to 3 local races because my motor was blown for to months and i was broke. but i did get my first win in quad A and i'm 15th in points out of about 25 people and only did three races i guess i can't complain.

Not over yet but I'm currently sitting in 6th place in the Expert class in the ITP Quadcross. 11 points away from a podium and now that I have my shocks fixed I think I'll have a strong finish to the season. I have 2 races left - one at Milestone and one at Glen Helen.

Not in MX but do the OCCRA series XC. Have two races left setting first in the +30 Expert class and 2nd in the overall. Still have two races left. I have to finish the next two races to hold on to first but the 2nd place overall is what I am racing for now.

Well the season ender was last weekend and I managed to hold on to 2nd place overall and a win in the +30 Expert class. Time to start the rebuild process for next year.

My first race this season was a GP and was the 3rd time i rode my new R. Had never been on the track. I got 2nd, my first trophy. :thumbsup:

Next GP i got 2nd. It was super muddy, wasn't very fun.

Then WORCS at Pacific Raceways in WA. Horrible start, ran into a guy REALLY HARD in the woods, also got stuck, but i managed a 2nd in class and 2nd overall.

Next was SX. They were running us (amateur class) with expert because there were so few riders. I got the holeshot! My first ever. There was a sandbagger that was in my class, (he was also racing in pro-am) anyways he crashed second moto so that gave me the win. my grandpa told me to take him out in the first corner lmao. he crashed all on his own though.

Then another GP. Was really fun. Got 5th.

Then a race just like WORCS, i got the holeshot and finished 2nd.

Then WORCS at Straddeline in WA. I decided to try out the B class. I was definitely out "biked." I'm still stock basically. anyways, got a 2nd to last start and was running my race when my clamp on grips started loosening. of course i pumped up bad because i was trying to keep the grip on. so i had to go all the way out to my truck and tighten it and then go finish. I got 6th of 9.

Thats my season.

No DNFs no broken bones...i'm happy with that

6th in the EDT National A Class points. Would have liked to do better but was forced to miss a couple races in the series.


Quite a few local wins. Should have bought a district membership because I would have won the points even though I didn't even do half the races.

Also picked up a new kick ass sponsor after I beat their already sponsored rider. Quite an ordeal really.



Now its time to build a completly new bike from scratch. Run a few indoor races to get it dialed in and then head down for the Tulsa Shootout. Also plan on hitting an ice race or two this winter. Then next year stepping up to Pro-am in the EDT National series. Also might try a little xc or mx. We will see how that goes.

well i got 2nd for the year in flat track, first year doing it in the novice class. i had a sweet arse save during these pics, i had the corner flagger running like mad becasue i went over his standing tower, which is raised 1' off of the ground, thank for the hay in front of it, lol. the track owner said to me later i see your wood racing/ hare scramble helped you out today, lol. i ended up reeling in 3rd after this mishap on the start. im #322





im also doing hare scrambles on the same quad and holding 8th for the year, our last race is dec 7th so i got a couple more to go with that.

It was a good year for me aswell... I finished 1st overall in the intermediate class (expert here i come).. Got a nice coat for it, along with a lap timer that you strap on your bike... It looks pretty neat...

Heres some pictures that probably have been on here before...

Didn't have any real great finishes but my best would probably be the end of the season, with a 2nd place heat race finish and a 3rd place main finish (right on the back bumper of an "A" class rider that decided to race the B main after racing the A heat race....)

this year was kinda iffy for me

i started racin harescrambles ive done 4 races so far

1st race i entered my quad would not stay running and i had a 90 minute first lap while everyone else was like 30 minutes

2nd race was a mudfest on clay and i wrecked about 5 times the first lap and quit that race after that and got about last place out of about 30 ppl

3rd race was alright, starting to get the hang of racing

4th and the last race, was really good i thought i won the sportsman class and got 17th overall (out of 60 some ppl)

next year im hoping to do better since i entered mid season this year i was totally unprepared, this year things are going to be different ( hopefully) and ill be runing B class and i will be prepared!!!

We finished 4th in the expert class for (BITD) the Best in the Desert season. We were 2 points from finishing 3rd for the season directly behind the team that won the Baja 1000 in class 24 (sportsman quad). Had a great year, got to race some really bitchen desert.

All I learned this year was going 75 in someones dust for 15 minutes puts some hair on your chest and SILT SUCKS......
