Personal History
I started riding on a KTM Mini Adventure in 2011 when I was 5. I moved to a KTM 50 SX Pro at about 6, and started racing in 2013 at the local Sacramento Raceway Spring series. I raced part of the Spring series in the 5-6 Beginner class (injury time-out) and the full Fall series in the 5-6 Beginner and 50 open classes. I had a number of holeshots, several moto wins, and generally finished in the top 5. I finished the Fall Series in 5th place overall out of 38 riders. I also raced a number of Over The Hill Gang events in the mini-support class at big tracks like Hollister GP, 408mx, Club Moto, Argyll, and Hangtown.
I am preparing for the 2014 season and will kick it off with an Arenacross race at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento on February 9th. After that we will look at Loretta Lynn's Area Qualifiers, the Reno Arenacross date, and the Sac Raceway Spring series.
I am riding an older KTM 50 (2006) but it's pretty competitive, well maintained, and I ride it hard. We have a nice track at the house so I gets plenty of practice time (in between baseball, soccer, and hunting for lizards!). I think I am a typical 7 year old boy. I do this for fun, and am not trying to be the next big thing. Yet, anyway. ;) I will move on to the 65 class after I turn 8.
Riding Goals
Safe, Fun, Smooth, Fast! That's what me and my Dad talk about right before every gate drop. We both ride and race for fun, and the pleasure we get in competing, and especially from hanging with our moto family at the tracks.
Competitive Highlights
My first season was in 2013 with mostly local racing at Sac Raceway. I had a number of holeshots and moto wins. I never got 1st overall, but I finished 2nd overall twice. In the Fall Series I was 5th overall (of 38 riders) in the 5-6 Beginner Class, and 10th overall in the 50 Open Class (despite only racing 4 of the 6 events in Open).
