Personal History
My name is Derek Hillery. I live in Tilton, Illinois, but grew up and went to Bismarck High School. My father and I used to race motor cross about 20 years a go when I was little for about 3-4 years. I just really got back into the sport about 3 years ago. I am married and do not have any kids. I work a full time job as a Production Teamleader at Thyssenkrupp Machining in Danville, IL.
I Have a 30" Toy Hauler and would Love to Advertise your Logo's on it at Local and Pro Motocross races. I attend Red Bud and the Indiana National every year and compete on the Amateur Days.
I currently have 3 Dirt Bikes: 2015 KTM SX-F 450, 2012 Suzuki RMZ 450 and 2007 Honda CRF250R.
I plan on selling the Suzuki RMZ 450 and getting a 2014 KTM 250 XC for Cross Country racing.
Riding Goals
Right now with my work schedule I can't compete in every race every weekend (like I would love to do) but I would like to win a local series. My all time goal is to be a competitive "A" rider, and qualify for a national. I also race cross country in the "B" Class. I have improved every year and I am competitive in the "Open C" Class. I will be riding in the "30 Plus" class later this year also. I have never tried to qualify for a national but plan to this year or next.
Thanks for looking at my profile.
