Personal History
My name is Derek DeHoyos but my friends call me D-Rock. I am 10 years old and in the 4th grade. I have been riding since i was four but just started motocross racing. I have raced in three races and I did very well. So far I have 3 first place finishes, a 4th and a 5th. I finished 3rd overall in two classes in the New Mexico State series for 2011.
I like to play football. I am a defensive end. I also love soccer and play forward and goalie. I get good grades in school and I love my family. My brother rides also but he's not into racing. I am fixing up my bike for the 2012 season and I'm ready to go!!!
Riding Goals
I found out tht I totally love racing!!! I plan to practice as much as possible and try to get in some lessons from a local pro. I really want to work on starts and corners to get faster.
I am definitely going to race the local races where I live which start in April and the New Mexico State series. A big goal is to get sponsors to help with the cost. Mostly just practice practice and more practice!!!!!
Competitive Highlights
I have three first place finishes out of my first 5 races so I know I have to work but I'm doing well for a beginner. I finished 3rd overall in the point totals for the New Mexico State Series 2011.
