Personal History
My name is TJ Kretzler, I am 27 years and was born on October 6th 1991. I have been riding dirt bikes since the age of four and have had a deep passion for it ever since. When I was young I only got to race a few times but rode as much as I could. As I graduated high school I funded my own riding and racing and struggled to do much of anything with it due to injuries and lack of funds. After some help from some racing friends I was able to get on the right track and get a good bike to ride. I mostly practiced and did a few local races to get back in the swing of things and now I feel like I am ready to ride and race at a higher level and feel confident in my ability on the track.
Riding Goals
I work a full time job and pay for my ride and racing all on my own and try to do as much as possible. I plan to do local qualifiers and some out of state Ohio races possibly others if time allows for 2019. I plan on attending but not racing in pro nationals as my friends’ mechanic and might participate in amateur day.
