Personal History
My 4th trip around the sun, my grandpa gifted me a jr5o for my first dirtbike and it was all green flags after that. I went on to race the following 13 years in the Sunshine State of Florida. I had a lot of good weekends and few local championships but moved across the country to northern Minnesota when I was 17 (2011) due to family reasons and that ended my racing career. I built a pitbike in the summer of 19 because I missed dragging bars and doing wheelies and after getting it out to the local track just before the winter. I knew I had to buy a big bike. After going back and forth and what I wanted to ride, I bought a 2013 KTM 250SX and I seized the crank within 2 hours of being back in the sport! With some light guidance from a helpful local, I was back running 6 days after it seized. These days being 29 years old, I compete a little differently than I did as a kid. As a dad, I intend on keeping the racing for fun like I think it should be and can't wait to see if my children follow into some sort of racing! I am a carpenter by trade and really enjoy building things.
Heres my socials where I usually post race weekend recaps, pictures and thank yous: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100010623551180 IG@ruggero710Riding Goals
As far as 2023, My goals are to continue racing the local series I race and trying my best to put my bike on top of the box! I plan on racing the DMC circuit again as well as going to a few D-23 AMA events. My goals would be to win as many races as I can but keep the fun factor alive as that's the whole reason behind it! 2023 would be my third year back to racing and Id really like to grab some championships this year! I will be racing Open A, 2-Stroke, and +25. I would like to buy a 250f or a 125 and race 250 A this year also but we shall see.
