Well it has been a long winter and I have been ready for spring since about last November. I haven't raced since Thanksgiving weekend due to a couple "back to back" concussions, but I have been riding a decent amount considering it's winter time. I have made 4 trips to the Sandbox Arena, 1 trip to the Fergus Falls indoor, and just got back from a ride in Oklahoma City last week.
MSR, Motorex, and Driver Websites are all in line to help me again this year and a huge thanks goes out to all of them. I also have one more potential sponsorship deal in the works and should know more in the near future.
I have posted a tentative schedule here on the site, and hope to start the season off in two weeks (Mar. 28) at Challenge Trax in Kingsville MO.

On May 31st I raced at the good ol' Sioux Valley Cycle Club just minutes from my house. Due to some morning rain the track actually stayed pretty good despite the usual high winds that always seem to haunt that place. Because of bad starts I was only able to manage a 5th place overall. However, it was cool to see all of us bunched up together all the way till the checkers. 1st through 6th all seemed to be about the same speed, it just came down to getting the holeshot.
On another note, last weekend was the first round of the Vet National series at Millville. While Friday's practice was absolutely amazing, on Saturday morning the rain started and didnt stop. The race came down to getting a good start and surviving the whole moto without dumping it over in the mud. Before the gate even dropped for the first moto my goggles were already impossible to see out of due to the rain falling in between my tear offs. When the gate did drop I found myself with a last place start. (excellent) The track was absolutely miserable but I was able to pass about half the field in four short laps. After the disappointment of my first moto I was determined to redeem myself in the second, but I wouldnt get the chance after officials called off the second motos.
