Conners goal at six years old until he was 12 was to become an NHL player until he put his dirt bike on his first race track!
Background: Conner first dirt bike was a 50cc Honda at the age of 7. With no place to ride but our backyard he soon became bored with it. Conner was introduced to a local track at the age of twelve. He bought a 150crf Honda and started racing in 2011 at Vermont local tracks. 2012 we started racing in Maine, New Hampshire, as well as Vermont. We decided to send him to Millsap Training Facility in June of 2012 for one week. Conner was invited to stay for Three more weeks. He returned back to Vermont August 1st, and started winning all of his classes, which at the time was 85c and Supermini 1. People started to take notice so we applied to become a member with Millsap Training for a full season. Conner has progressed very quickly and is beginning to pull the same times as the riders that have been there for 3 or 4 years now. Colleen Millsap sees great potential in Conner.

Competitive Highlights
Conners second summer in Vermont he started winning some local races. In September of 2012 he entered MTF and trained for Mini O's. He went to the event with two summers of riding in VT and two months of training at MTF. Conner made the Main Event in Supercross with a third place finish in the LCQ. We were hoping to just get some experience and he made it into a Main Event with not a whole lot of time on a dirtbike really. He came in 25th. He had a break for the holidays and is back training. He just took three overall first places at Axtour Arenacross in Tennessee. He has never races in an Arena and took chances that others in his class would not. Conner has had each wrist, collar bone, toes and fingers broken being a kid and playing hard. Conner would cut the casts on his wrist enough so he could still play Hockey and ride his dirt bike in the back yard. His tolerance for pain seems to be very strong. Conner is very good friends with Travis Pastana and has had many talks with him about competing and the hard work it will take to become a pro. Conner likes a challenge and wants to continue. We know Conner will work very hard for the people who choose to sponsor him.
