Austin finished up D20 Texas State Series racing at 3 Palms last weekend. We skipped one round already and will skip the last round next weekend. We are foregoing these round for training time for the Night National at Badlands in Celeste, TX. This is the first time this National has ever been raced and Austin's first National level race. We plan on having a good showing in the 4-6 Limited and the 4-8 Open Class. Thanks to all out support, we couldn't do it without you!!!

Austin finished up the Main Event Night Series in Texas this past weekend. He ended up with an Overall win, 3 Podium finishes, and one Top 5 finish out of 5 Rounds. No official results have been given but according to dad's math, he was 2nd Overall in the series. This is his first ever series on a Cobra Jr. in the 4-6 Limited Class. Not a bad job for only being on the bike for 3 1/2 months. Looking forward to the Texas State Series in two weeks! Thanks to all of our support!!!

Well we hired a personal riding coach from Houston. He has been working wonders on Austin. Big difference and way more speed. Austin raced the first round of the FMF Texas Night Series last night. Austin battled for the win in Moto 1 but fell about 5 seconds short of winning. Not bad for a PW trying to track down a KTM. He was trying to pass for the lead towards the beginning of moto 2 and washed the front end out. By the time he got going he was on 7th/8th place. He charged hard back to a 4th place just a few seconds off 3rd place. He rode awesome all night save the one fall. Great way to start the series.

Austin qualified for the South Central Loretta Lynn's Regional this past weekend. He rode hard despite a few mishaps pushing him back to 5th in both motos. He came out healthy and qualified, and that's all that matters.

Well Austin did what needed to be done, riding smart but still somewhat fast motos to finish off winning the championship. He is now the reigning 2015 Houston Holeshot Series 4-8yr Limited Class Champion. Lots of hard work not only by him, but family and our mechanic. Fighting through bike problems he stayed consistent and pushed forward. No break though, as we head out to Cycle Ranch next weekend for the Loretta Lynn's Area Qualifier. This should be another showdown between the local riders.

Well we finished Rd. 3, barely. Ever since Rd. 1 we have been having bike power problems. Just no "pop" or acceleration out of the bike. Well we dusted off the old P3 Cobra and just through together 2 Motos for points. Austin went 5-5 on the day but definitely could have placed higher with a fully functional bike. We still currently hold 1st Place in the Series standings by 12 points. If we go 3-3 or better in the remaining two rounds we should clinch the championship. Thank you to all our sponsors and we hope to being home the championship for everyone.

On 1/25/15 Austin rode Rd. 1 turned Rd. 2 of the Houston Holeshot Series. Austin had a good showing in Moto 1 finishing a strong 3rd. In Moto 2 Austin was reeling in 2nd Place when he lost the front end. He was slammed extremely hard and was down for a minute or two. He was passed while down which put him in 4th. Two other riders had caught up and Austin held one of them off and battled with the other but fell short to end up with a 5th in Moto 2. He still went 3rd Overall on the day and leads the points for the championship. He was crying after moto 2 and has a very nice bruise on his left bicep. He is a tough lil guy and should be healthy going into Rd. 3 this weekend.

Well after weeks and weeks of rain, Round 3 of the Houston Holeshot Series became Round 1. We traveled to Floresville, TX to race at Cycle Ranch MX Park. It was a great weekend and very well organized event. The track was brutal on the little 50s but all the kids did a great job. We came home with 1-1 for our first ever Overall win. Austin was just bursting with joy and now has a little more confidence after coming back from almost half a lap down on the first lap in Moto 2. About a quarter way through Lap 2 he made the pass for the lead and checked out. So proud of him as he took a big step in the right direction. Thank you to all of our sponsors, we could do this with out your support. Next weekend, 3 Palms, stay tuned!!!

Well, had a little time off and gearing up for 2015 season. Austin will race a "winner take all" EMX Series Winter Showdown race this coming Sunday, 12-21-14. This will be the last race of the 2014 season. 2015 Season will start on 12-28-14 at 3 Palms Raceway. We can't wait to get out there and see what the 2015 season will bring.

Just finished the AMA Texas State Championship. I had a rough weekend but managed a Top 10 finish. Wish it was better, but the track was brutal and deep for my little 50cc. I fought hard through it and never quit. I loved the "12 Pack" whoop section and was flying through them. Wish I could've got it all to click but hey that's racing. We will regroup and work hard for the next two months getting ready for the Houston Holeshot Series. 2015 Season here we come!!!

I just finished all 5 Rounds of the District 20 AMA Texas State Series. I finished 3rd Overall for the Series. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me to this point, Kinsel Ford, TechWorks IT, Atlas Brace Technologies, DeCal Works, Twin Air, and Choice Hotels. We look forward to a 2 month break and hope to be back racing in the Texas Winter Series and the Houston Holeshot Series.

Rounds 3&4 are in the bag. I finished 3-3 in both rounds for 3rd Overalls. I am now in 3rd for the Overall Series going into the last round.
Sep 29 2014
Round 2 in the bag. Got a great start in Moto 1 entering the first corner in 3rd. Shuffled back to 5th and was reeling in 4th but ran out of laps. Moto 2 had a bad wheelie off the start and entered the corner in 5-6th place. Worked hard and towards the end of Lap 1 made a pass for 4th place. Austin hard charged all the way until the checkered flag. He went 5-4 on the day for a 4th Overall. Definitely getting faster with every moto.

Well the good news is we made it to Rd. 1 of the AMA Texas State Series. Austin had his cast taken off Wednesday September 10th. So we entered race weekend with no seat time for 3 weeks. But Austin did great for his 1st race ever. He went 5-5 for 5th overall. We are so proud of our little man. He rode through so much adversity this weekend. Thanks to all our support and helping us get to where we are. Kinsel Ford, TechWorks IT, DeCal Works, Twin Air, Atlas Brace Technologies, and Choice Hotels International. We couldn't do it without you!!!

Austin suffered a buckle fracture just above the wrist a week and a half ago. Bummer because Rd.1 is this coming Sunday. Go back to the Dr. in two days for a follow-up. Great Dr. and he plans to release Austin to ride asap. He is in great spirits and can't wait to get back on the track and represent everyone that has helped us get to this point. Thanks to everyone for their support and we should be back on for Rd.2 on September 28th at Rio Bravo MX track. Thanks!!!
