Personal History
My name is Joseph Cortigiano. I am 16 years old and live in Wolcott Connecticut. The first time I swung a leg over a Ktm 50cc dirt bike I was 4 years old and have loved it ever since. I started racing when I was 5 years old and I guess you can say the rest is history. My two brothers, and dad taught me how to ride a dirt bike, and we have gone to every race since then as a family. Motocross for me has been a lifestyle because that's all I've been around since I could remember and I would not trade it for anything. i have been to Lorreta Lynns a couple of times and have been to plenty regional races and area qualifiers, plus the mini O's 3 times, the northeast regional championship at Winchester speed park. i am currently racing schoolboy 1 and the 125 B/C classes and hope to be in the top ten at Lorreta Lynns this coming year.
Riding Goals
My riding goals for the 2018 season consist of winning all my area qualifiers (North East, South East, and mid-east) for Loretta Lynns, placing top three at the North East, Southeast, and mid-east regionals placing top 10 at Loretta Lynns, Top 10 at the Mini O's, and any other regional/ National race I attend this year. What my ultimate goal for The 2018 season is to be the best I can be on and off the track meaning going to a race every weekend with a positive outlook, and leaving with the same positive attitude no matter if I place good or bad.
