Personal History
I am a 54 year old Christian, husband to my wife Lauren Brown and father to three amazing boys Rylan (16 yrs old), Sidney (14 yrs old) & Lucas (11 yrs old). And yes all three boys ride motorcycles. Dad races a Husqvarna FC350, Rylan races a Husqvarna TC150, Sidney races a Husqvarna TC85 and Lucas is racing a TC65.
I have been around motorcycles since age 7 when my step-father, Jim 'JD' McClinton introduced me to recreational trail riding on motorcycles then allowed me to start racing. My childhood mentors included the late Jim Pomeroy and the legend Dick Mann. I was fortunate to know many of the local pros in Northern California that gave me guidance and a rich history of the sport.
I love to ride as much as possible with the family and instill great sportsmanship into our boys so that they are equipped to carry on a professionalism of the sport I continue to enjoy! I look forward to promoting all of our sponsors to the best of my ability and thank each of the companies that have blessed me with sponsorship this racing season and beyond.
Thank you again to all of our sponsors that continue to believe in the BT5 Racing program!
Riding Goals
For this racing season, Travis has memberships in both the Over the Hill Gang - Sierra chapter & Sierra Old Timers MC.
The boys will compete in both the REP Racing Gold Cup and the AMP/GFI Winter Series. This year we are adding the Road to Mammoth & the Road to Loretta's Area Qualifiers for Rylan to compete in with the goal of getting to both Mammoth & Loretta's in 2023!!! Towards the end of the year we will be competing in the FLY Amateur National, Cal-Classic, MotoPro Triple Crown, Arizona Open, as well as, OTHG races.
Competitive Highlights
In 2024, Rylan raced the District 36 Big Wheel A & the AMA Western Hare Scrambles Supermini classes, while traveling between states on some weekends to compete in both series events. You showed heart, tenacity and great sportsmanship by never giving up at REALLY challenging tracks and tough conditions! Keep it up!
