Personal History
Hey my name is Erik Smith, I am 30 years old. My stepson Tyler Briere and myself race at winchester speedpark in new hampshire. Along with other local tracks and some arenacross events in the winter. We live in Springfield VT.. I run my race team myself with me and Tyler racing. Tyler has been doing for 4 full seasons, I have done it only one full season. Tyler is currewntly riding a kx65 and will be on a 85cc and 65cc next season. I ride a 03 yzf250. I just got my daughter Morgan on a dirt bike , she almost 5. She loves riding it and wants to race next year. We have a great time as a family racing motocross around new england. We like to travel as a family to the tracks. Tyler is currently in the 65c class and I am in the 30c class. My girlfriend Karen keep all of us under control and makes sure we don't get hurt. Tyler won his firt race this year and my best finish is second. This winter we plan on doing the arenscross races in Albany NY and at the mohegan sun in CT. Next year we plan on racing still Tyler will be on his 65 and 85, and me on my bike in the 30 plus class, Then the debut of my daughter Morgan.Riding Goals
Unforturelly this season only has three races left at Winchester Speedpark. We will do those and Some of the Arenacross races in the North East. This winter we will be rebuilding all the bikes and getting ready for the 2008 season. Tyler did win his first moto the year (that was the best). My best finish was second but still got three more chances for the first one.Competitive Highlights
