Rider Updates

Well raced my first B class event last weekend in the WYNOA "Finale" near Binghamton NY. Finished 4th in B250 class, 35th Overall of 225 racers. Was doing great but punctured the sidewall on my rear tire, on lap 3 and rode the last 2 laps with a flat tire. Thank God the Tubliss system worked as advertised and kept everything together. Looking forward to Halloween weekend and the final GNCC of the 2016 season, The IRONMAN! Great track and always have a blast racing there. So far this year, the Highlight has been the win @ Unadilla GNCC and our team win in the 250 Sportsman class at the Perry Mountain 24 Hour Challenge in AL, we also finished 8th O/A.

4 rounds of GNCC in the books and have been feeling real comfortable on the bike, currently running 1st in points in class.. Been running up front every race, which has been encouraging on the 4 stroke. Made too many mistakes @ Steele Creek and got stuck in some deep ruts, which hurt my finish, but definitely felt I had good speed, just made too many mistakes and the big turnout, over 600+ riders on this course, which is a little one line, was too much to overcome for a better finish. Big Buck was fun, VERY dusty, just need to keep working on moving forward through the lappers. Thanks to my family and all my sponsors for their support. Next Up SC and Camp Coker Bullet. Hasta....

1st 2 rounds of 2016 GNCC season are in the books and so far, my new Husqvarna is running Great! 2nd podiums in 2 weeks (1st and 2nd Place) show all the hard work is paying off. Was glad to get the finish I did @ the GA race (Cannonball), as I was sick all race and just sucked it up for the weekend.

Well the Snow is mostly melted and we headed to FL for 2016 GNCC Season Opener - Wild Boar. The WX was perfect 70* HI and the Sand and Mud were what you expect for a Florida GNCC. Great job by the GNCC of setting up a fun and challenging course!
Despite not having many hours on my new bike, it ran GREAT, That Husky really puts out the power and it showed on the start, after I got off the line late, I was able to fly down the back straight and pass Everyone heading into the woods. Great racing all day with Jesse Pritt.
Jesse got by and gapped me by about a minute on Lap1, but I was able to put my head down and was right on his tail on Lap 2, Unfortunately he got stuck in the mud a bit, and I was able to pull a 2 min ld on the last lap, but it was a lot of fun (Despite all the traffic from our line starting next to last on Sunday.)
Fighting a cold this week, but looking forward to the new vene @ Sparta, GA - THE CANNONBALL this weekend. Cheers....

The season is coming to an end and it wasn't my best. I have struggled to finish the races due to injuries to myself and the bike breaking. I can race with the guys up front, if i have a good start, and the bike doesn't break. At a race a few weeks ago, I got a good start and was leading for a while, I swapped places with 2 guys for the lead several times. I was in 2nd at the time and on the fender of the leader, when i went through a mud hole, and was going up a hill when the bike quit almost instantly. I could tell it was the clutch so there went the whole race. My home race is coming up and I plan marshal my series to get 25 points, then race the next day is the other series just for fun. That is the update for now and I'll get back later.

School finally starts back in a week and the week after the first race of the season starts!!! Cant wait for that in Maplesville, AL. Moving up to the junior class this year. Gonna race with the big boys. I just got to keep riding the way I did last year in the supermini. At the last race last year I raced the first moto of the adult class on an 85 and got 4th then was running 2nd in the 2nd moto but pulled out cause I got hurt and had already raced for 2:30 hours by then. Cant wait to tear it up.

Fun afternoon riding at Meridian OHV Park, w/ Jerry, Devon and Bobby, Casey and Slade, Dalton and a bunch of other folks I didn't even know....Great way to finish out a fun weekend of racing. Won my 1st race back yesterday @ Noah's in Maplesville, AL....after, messing up my knee a month ago. Thank God that nothing was broken. Thanks to SECCA for another fun event....less MX, more woods....Can't wait for Cornerstone on March 2nd.

On Christmas I got a new KTM 125 sx. It is a 2012 but I chose the sx over the xc for woods because I like the snap better for the tight stuff. Also it helps me get out of the corners faster.

Raced the meridian race and dominated I won by over five minutes. So I won the overall or the youth. Then it was a five minute turn around to race again and finished fourth in the first moto and didn't racethe second moto. Ended up with a good race and I got a new pair of sg10's and I am going to Florida to ride and train till New Years. I am also going to race the perry mtn. Shootout. Wish me luck.

Moved from IL to Mississippi this summer. Won my last race in IL, back in March, from the 2nd line, it was a mudfest, but AWESOME! Had surgery in April for my elbow, down for 6 months. Started riding again in Sept and raced the SECCA series in AL and MS. Great series and courses! Been racing the Youth bracket and have had some great races, but amazingly I have won my class in each race this year. Kelli Nicholas, races the same race and won 2 overalls, starting from the 2nd row, she's pretty darn good. Her brother is rocking the AA class....it must run in their blood. Racing my home track in Meridian on Dec 8th, I'm gonna try running both the youth and adult race. We'll see...Peace Out!

3rd at Fox Valley after leaving LAST off the line! I totally blanked out when the flag went down & kicked down into air instead of my shifter. Worked hard though and climbed back up to 3rd. Great track with lots of steep hills.
