Personal History
Hey! My name is Austin Fluharty, I just turned 16 this year and I am getting ready to start my third year racing motocross here in Ohio in 2024 . We’ll third year riding all together really! So I’m no pro, but in the past 2 years I have worked really hard to get better! I dream to qualify for a professional supercross or outdoor national one day! My dad built a full size track at our house so I can ride 3-4 days a week and a small gym so I could train off the bike as well. My dad also requires good grades in order to get his financial support. My personal goal is to maintain the honor roll throughout the year!
Riding Goals
In 2024 I look to not only qualify but be a top five contender at the Loretta Lynn’s amateur national championship! We are also planning to make the trip out to Oklahoma to Ponca city for the amateur national there along with the chillitown classic pro am, Travis pastrana pro challenge pro am and as many of the official dirty 100 amateur nationals as we can financially afford to and finishing off the year at Mini O’S in Florida ! I strongly believe I can be a contender for top fives and even wins at all of these races in 250c limited and 250c jr limited. We will also participate in a number of local races including the route62 amateur supercross indoor winter series! The dates and schedules for the 24 season are not currently available yet so I didn’t include any dates
Competitive Highlights
In 2023 ( my second year on a bike) I raced 250c and schoolboy 2 , We raced a handful of the Ohio state championship series in between Loretta Lynn’s qualifiers . So we are unable to race the whole series due to conflicting race dates unfortunately. In the Ohio state championship series i was a contender right away for top fives. That quickly turned into fighting for wins! With my success in the state series we thought we would give qualifying for Loretta Lynn’s amateur national a try!! We attempted to qualify in 250c limited and 250c jr limited . Was able to qualify for the budds creek regional ! Unfortunately a couple crashes kept us out of it but it was a good experience an confidence booster for 2024 . We also raced the chilitown classic pro am and the Travis pastrana pro challenge! Where we was able to fight for top fives.
