Personal History
My name is Kevin O'Connell and I have been riding for 15 years. I have been taking racing seriously for 3 years now and my results do not reflect how hard I have worked to get faster. I am a hard working kid I get good grades in school and still train for racing. I think given a chance I can prove how fast I can be.
Riding Goals
For the 2014 season I plan on racing around the state because I just moved up to a 450 this season. I still plan on racing the LLQ and if I qualify I will decide if I am going to regionals or not depends since I just stepped to the 450 class. so I plan on seeing how I stack up against the guys in 450B this year and possibly go down to Loretta Lynn if I qualify.
Competitive Highlights
I raced a couple races through out my riding career and only have done one major race and that race was the Baja Brawl at Baja Acres in Millington, MI. It was a rough weekend my bike was not running right but i managed to do good in Open C and 250 C mod but due to a crash in Schoolboy 2 I could not finish out the weekend. That was my first race on my 2008 YZ 250F and this year I plan on doing a lot better in all my races. I had a rough 2012 season I finished 3 out of the 4 races I did but I had some DNF and DNS moto's due to crashes and bike problems, but in the moto's I did finish almost all of them were top 10's or top 5. At the 2012 Monster Energy Baja Brawl I had a DNF for the whole weekend due to a broken collar bone in friday's practice I tried racing but got into a crash with some other riders and that ended my weekend. But in 2013 I plan on having a much better season than 2012.
