Personal History
Hello, my name is Eli McGhee. I am 8 years old and live in Seymour, Tennessee. I have an older sister named Chloe, who supports me every week that I race, and I am very thankful for my mom and dad for all that they do for me so that I can race. We have 3 dogs and 2 rabbits and we live in a subdivision, so it is hard sometimes to get the practice I want, because the noise of me riding in the yard gets to my neighbors. I have been riding motocross for 1.5 years. It is my favorite thing the do in the whole world. We also go to church and I love to talk about my faith. We also love to go camping and my sister is a cheerleader. Other things I love doing are working out with my dad and playing with my remote controlled cars.
Riding Goals
My favorite rider is James Stewart. I also like Broc Tickle. My major riding goal would be to make it to Lorettas next year. I am positive I can do it with practice and hard work. Who knows from there, maybe one day, I could be a professional rider.
Competitive Highlights
My first year racing, I was first in points all the way through the season and I had bad luck in the last race. Our KTM's clutch burnt up and we just had a tough night. My mom got her leg burned bad on my bike, and she had 2nd and 3rd degree burns on her leg. I also had a concussion the next night, so we both had nights at the hospital. Everything worked out though, because my parents have taught me, sometimes I may win and sometimes I may not, but if possible, I will always finish the race and give it my best. That is all they ask for.
