Personal History
Motocross has always been a strong passion of mine. When I was younger I raced mini's for NYOA in Upstate New York but stopped racing when I was 15. Just recently I got back into the sport I love but this time I am racing Motocross. My family background has always kept me around the sport of Motocross, hence my Cousin and Uncle, Paul and Jack Carpenter being former professional Motocross riders. Motocross racing is something I have always had a great passion for and do not plan on leaving the sport anytime soon. I also have a history of college football, football is the main reason why I gave up dirt bikes when I was younger because my goal then was to try and get a free ride to college playing football. I feel playing football taught me toughness and I feel it gave me an athletic/ fitness advantage over many competitors.
Riding Goals
My riding goals for this season is to win a Novice class at any of my local races. At the beginning of this season I started in the Beginner class since I had never raced a Moto race before, but quickly found myself winning every Beginner class Moto by a large margin. I would end up taking myself out of the Beginner class and start competing in the Novice class to seek better competition, My goals for this season is to win at least one Novice class overall, and by next race season my goal is to make Loretta Lynn's. I see this as a reasonable goal considering I ride at least twice a week and have been improving very well week by week. I plan on making this goal possible by training in the gym during the off season and getting my fitness to be the best it can be.
Competitive Highlights
Hence this being my first year racing Moto I do not have many accolades, but I can assure there will be plenty to come. As of now I have won multiple Beginner class overalls by almost minutes, and in those races have passes half way through Novice class riders, since we started in a split gate race.
