Rider Updates

1/5/11- First, I want to thank Cole Townsend at Fasst Co. for helping me out all weekend. I wouldnt have been at the races at all without him. With superbowl and family time landing on this weekend we decided to only go out for the day and just log another race and more seat time. Ive always liked Taft because of the high speeds and the layout of the courses, so I was excited to get going.Unclassified was early and really cold so it took me a few laps to get going but by the end of it I felt good and was ready to get going. A few hours later we lined up for the HWT expert race. I felt good about the start because we had a banner drop, which is what all desert races are. I got the holeshot with a big lead, but the first corner was more like a swamp so I was the test dummy to see how slick it was. I dropped to about 5th when we hit the offroad for the first lap. I rode consistently and really focused on finding my strengths and weaknesses. I stayed in the top 10 for most of the race but finished 13th overall and 8th in class. I learned a lot about my fitness this week so it was successful no matter what my finish was.This weekend wasnt about getting the best result or even winning, I just need to put in as many race laps as I can and continue to learn something every time I ride and race. Next weekend is the second round of the NHHA series in Ridgecrest, CA so im looking forward to the week and another good weekend.I really need to thank Cole at Fasst Co. for all of the help, along with my trainer Troy, FMF, Maxima, Thousand Oaks Powersports, Answer, TBT Suspension,
