Burley raced the final two events in the Nitro Summer Series on Sept. 10, 2016, coming away with two wins. One in the 50cc 7-9 and another in the 50cc Open. In addition, he also won the championship in both class.
Burley currently holds overall a 5th place in the 50cc Open and a 6th place in the 50cc 7-8 in the Missouri State MX Championship Series. We head into the final round on Oct. 9th in Columbia, MO and we hope that he can finish the season with a top 5 finish in points.
Burley will be competing in the Nitro AX Tour beginning Nov. 11th with the first round in Claremore, OK. this tour will be competing in 6 states, AR, IL, KS, MO, OK and TX between November and February 2017. We have high hopes of Burley finishing this series with a top 3 finish overall in both the 50cc Open and the 50cc 7-9 classes.
Burley received his first KTM 2014 65cc bike this past weekend and is beginning to learn the ropes with shifting gears and using the clutch. If all goes well, he may be racing the 65cc bike before the end of the Nitro AX Tour in the 65cc 7-9 beginner's class.

Burley has progressed so much in the last few weeks... he came away with his very first WIN, and actually received two in the same night. His racing was awesome in Miami, OK at the Nitro Summer Series Race. He got the hole shot all 4 motos, and came away with a first in two events! The 5cc 7-9 and the 50cc Open!
He's showing a lot of improvement in his corner speed and using the throttle to the max! He's enjoying the outdoor MX season and racing the Missouri State Championship Series, he currently holds 4th in points in both the 50cc Open and 50cc 7-8 classes. We plan to attend each and every event so that with his improvements he can maintain a top 3 finish for the season!
Stay tuned!

Friday races were awesome in Lebanon, MO with the Liquid Nitro Arenacross Series. I got a 3rd and a 4th place finish.
Saturday was awesome as well, I won my first moto! Finals were a bit tougher than Friday, I finished with a 6th and a 9th place.
I had a lot of fun and I'm still loving the races! Looking forward to Tulsa at the end of Feb.

Liquid Nitro Arenacross races in Springfield were quite rough. I wanted to race my KTM so badly, but the stresses and fears of wrecking after having two major wrecks during practice, by parents made the decision not to let me race the KTM. However on my Honda I finished 5th in the finals and it was very exciting to get a placed trophy.
Saturday's races were a lot more relaxed, I raced my Honda two races and finished both! I didn't finish with a trophy, buy my riding technique is improving daily and I stayed with it! Speed will come when good habits are accomplished.
Next up is Liquid Nitro Arenacross in Lebanon, MO. I'm ready, but Mom and Dad think it's best to finish this series on my Honda, instead of stressing about the KTM.
I will be practicing on my KTM every chance I get, so that I can begin the Missouri State Motocross Championship series in April ready to go!!
Stay Tuned!

Claremore was a great learning experience for all, Mom, Dad and Burley. Raced the Honda 50 and the KTM Senior Bike. First time racing was challenging, but we got through it. Burley is ready for his next race in Springfield, MO on January 8th and 9th at the Expo Center with the Nitro Arenacross Tour. Then he will follow with races in Lebanon, MO in February!! Check out the pictures from the race in OK on my facebookpage, and keep following for more to come. Everyday on the bike and participating in races is milestone and Burley just keeps getting more confience and better!
