Personal History
Cole is a great little boy, he is a great big brother and, loves to go to school and ride. Most of our days go something like this. Cole gets home from school and runs in the house to get dressed to go riding. We get in anywhere from 30 to 1:30 of riding just about everyday. (depends on when dad gets home from work). Then its in for dinner and on to the books. I've never seen a kid that likes to do homework. Then is in the bathtub and to bed. Get up and do it again the next day. He loves it. if he's not riding or hitting the books Cole loves catching bugs. Just about any kind will do, we have a turtle farm here. He has collected them from 8 different race sites and 3 riding areas. Cole is also very determined he does not like to lose not just racing but anything. He has to first to get dressed first on the bike ( his 3 year old brother rides to). If he does'nt get the best grade on a paper at school he gets mad. I'm working on this tho, we have to be good sports. Sometimes its hard for a 6 year old to understand but we are working on it. All in all his mother and i are very proud of this fine young man.
Riding Goals
Cole won a State title in the 4-6 peewees this year. He tells me that he wants to win the 7-11 class next year. (Arkansas Harescramble Championship Series) I intend to get him to all of the AHSCS races for 09 and as many Mid-South races as possible. We will also add a few local MX races just to give a little twist on things. He did his first MX this past weekend and loved it. His school goals are to make all A's, he wants to be a Vet or puppy doctor as he calls it. I am hoping some of his turtles escspe but he would like to see 100 out there lol.
Competitive Highlights
When he nailed down his state title was the race we all loved but I think I am most proud of his Mid-south SERA co-sanction race this year. Cole was the only 6 year old in the 4-8 50cc class and the olny kid on a pro-jr. He was last on the line and worked his way up to 3rd but a long straight on the back side of the course held him to a 5th place finish. Either way he rode a great race. Cole has already been riding the 7-11 class in AHSCS at some of the events this year and he has won his share of them. All of these races could go an the highlight reel. Going to battle with the 65's on a 50 and winning is tough to do somehow he does it tho.
