Personal History
I am 38 years old and have been riding kawasakis for about 27 years. I used to race when I was younger and got back in to it 4 years ago.I rode out of Kawasaki of FortWorth with a decent sponsorship.I ride a fully modified 2005 kx250.I will be purchasing a 2009 kx450f soon as they are out. I have raced a few local races here in Texas in the novice class and have been doing well and with the 450 should do even better. I ride every Sunday and try to ride on Thursdays. My wife and kids are very involved in the sport as well. My daughter is 9 and rides a klx110,my son is 13 riding a kx 85 ,the wife is our photographer and we are not usually home on the weekends..
Riding Goals
This year I would like to train more and work myself up to the intermediate class .With the new bike I am planning to do more racing than practicing to achieve my goals.Would like to get some sponsors to maybe help with bike setup and gear since I have been doing it all myself and between me and the kids bikes it sometimes gets challenging.
Competitive Highlights
My first race last year I had put new brake pads on just after practice then lined up to the first moto.In the 2nd turn i tboned the guy in front of me and decided to follow him instead of beating him because I didnt want anyone to think I tried to take him out.The 2nd moto I had it in my head to go fast and I had a 16 second lead at freestone.I raced burleson several times and seem to do really good in the novice class but I need a 450 to move up a class.I have drive and a determination to win...
