Personal History
Started racing motocross in 1974 in the mini-class. Over the next 9 years, I moved up to race the 125, 250 and Open semi-pro class. I parked the boots in 1984 after my blown knee became too damaged to continue. Got married and raised a family. 2004 bought a new bike and started back racing. Have been racing the 20+, 35+, 40+, and 45+ class.
Riding Goals
Would like to continue my racing and prepare myself to attempt the Florida winter am series. Hopefully, on to the Amateur National series after that.
