Personal History
I started riding dirt bikes in the mid 70's and started racing in the late 70's. I raced mostly in Western PA and usually at High Point, Mount Morris PA. I took a 30 year break from dirt bikes and spent 21 years in the United States Marine Corps. After retiring from the Marine Corps I bought a KTM 250 SX-F and started hitting the track again. Since then, I've bought a couple KTM 450 SX-F's and am racing every weekend.
In 2011, I raced the Alabama State Motocross Championship Series. The series is a 25 race series where the top 18 races go towards the series standings. I raced in 19 of the 25 races and won the 45+ Championship and came in 2nd place in the 40+ class.
In 2012, I raced the Alabama State Motocross Championship Series and the Central Alabama Motocross Series. In total, I've race 86 races (160+ motos). I finished the 2nd in the 25+, 3rd in the 30+, 5th in the 40+ and 3rd in the 45+ class in the Alabama State Series and 1st in the 40+ and the 45+ classes in the Central Alabama Motocross Series.
Riding Goals
I want to ride, race, make new friends and spend time with old friends at the motocross tracks. And, attempt to do all of this without ending up in the Emergency Room.
