Personal History
To start off we'll introduce our team. We are Team Balboa Racing which consists of three riders: Dalton Balboa #482, Mike Balboa #27, and Hayden Balboa #984. We have been riding together for years now and it’s always been a family effort. So we decided to bring the family together and race as one. We used to ride together in the trails of New Jersey cruising around on TTR90's and now it’s evolved into us racing around motocross tracks all over New Jersey and Pennsylvania. We all started racing about four years ago in the 85 classes and recently we all graduated to the bik bike classes. In 2008, all three of us will race together in the 125c class, so things should be interesting. To sum things up, we just love to go out there and ride. It's what we do.
Riding Goals
Our goals this year are pretty reasonable. We really want to be finishing in the top ten every race and be consistent. It's a realistic goal and we're sure that with enough riding, dedication, and training it will be no problem. We're all going to race our hearts out this year and see what happens. In the end, we just want to finish good, stay consistent, stay healthy, and most of all, stay focused on having fun with our riding, because that's the reason we began riding in the first place.
Competitive Highlights
Hayden: My 2006 season when I was racing the 85cc 12-13 class. The last couple races of that year I was on fire, I felt really fast, and the bike was just awesome.
Mike: This year when I holeshotted my first school boy moto at Dutchmen Mx Park.
Dalton: First place back in 2006 in the 85cc 14-15 class at Pagoda Motorcycle Club.
