Personal History
I have been racing dirt bikes since 2011; I went to my first cross country race and was instantly hooked. I am very committed to racing. If I’m not racing then you will probably find me at a sprint car track, with my grandparents I have always been into some sort of racing. I am currently looking for some additional sponsors and supporters. With racing being such an expensive pastime I do have to work to make money so I am able to go to the races. I do things around the house and I also collect cans to help fund my racing, my parents help as well. I am a very loyal racer; I’m always there to help in any way, whether it be on my bike or at the race. I work on my own bike by checking my air filter and things like that. At the track I try and stay to at least help pick up trash, or anything else I may be able to help with. I also play football at Plainfield and go to Brentwood elementary, I’m in the 3rd grade and my parents insist that I have good grades to do any sport (including races) I am to keep a B average or above. I turned 9 in March and was given the option to stay on the 50cc bike or move up to the 65cc bike, I went ahead and moved up, I really enjoy the clutch and other options I have with my 65cc. I am still learning on this bike, but I continue to improve and that is one of my goals going forward. I have had major improvement from the beginning of the year to now. For instance I started out being one of the last to leave the start and have gotten to where I have been in the top and have even had the first off the line. I have always loved racing, and am very passionate about the sport, I continue to raise my goals every year, even last year with a broken foot I had a goal of being top 5 in points through the AMA MAXC series, it was a difficult goal with missing races, however I did achieve it and am very proud of that. In 2015 I am setting some high goals for myself I would like to see some podium wins for myself, and possibly a couple firsts. I will continue to be very competitive and persistent yet keeping my grades up. Thank you very much for looking into my information and any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Riding Goals
Continue to run AMA MAXC and AMA Stoney Lonesome series, also plan to run some additional series, for more seat time. I also am planning to get as much seat time as possible to improve my technical skills. I am planning on continuing to improve at each race, and bring in podiums and some wins as well for myself. I also want to continue to improvement on my starts and hole-shots, along with standing more. Over the winter I plan on working as much as I can with my fitness to help with the endurance needed.
