Last weekend I raced the Monster Super Series at River Valley MX.  The first moto I won with about an 8 sec. lead.  Unfortunately, in the second moto I went down in the second turn. I closed the gap significantly on the leader but ran out of time and finished the moto in second place. Over the next couple of days I will be finishing finals and moving  back to Rogers for the summer.  Rogers has a boxing gym and I am really looking forward to getting to  train there again. Those guys train harder than anyone I have ever seen and are awesome to feed off of. Check back for the next update  and better results!

Update .. The beginning of  March the weather was really good and I rode nearly everyday and I went to the Arkansas State Race on the 16th feeling good.  The first 
moto of the lites class I started in about 6th or 7th and finished 2nd. The second moto I started in 2nd and stayed there until the clutches went out completely with a lap and half to go.  It was a new track next to the Arkansas river and the sand was super deep. I don't think I was the only one that had clutches burn up. I was determined to win the first 450 moto, since I normally do better on the bigger bike. I started in 5th, worked up to 3rd by the second lap.  I caught 1st and 2nd at the end of the 3rd lap and then went over the bars in a whooped out section. I was too anxious. haha. The second moto I rode  just to stay on two wheels and save the bike.  I went 7-4 in the 450 class.  It was kind of a rough day but I still had a lot of fun. The track was extreme rough and a lot of good guys showed up that I grew up racing with.  Anyways, I am pretty much just ready for summer.

Hey guys, thanks for checking out the site.  I owe it all to Jerry at 488 Motocross Web Design.  He is a new sponsor for 2008 and does a great job on websites.  I recently started a temporary job at H&R Block for the tax season, so I’ve been real busy with work and school.  But, I am getting some good practice at the house.
 

My roommates and I are getting the track technical and rough.  I plan to come out swinging at the Wellston round of Oklahoma State race March 2nd!  I am really excited about this year, and am looking forward to accomplishing my goals.  Well, that’s it for now.
