Personal History
I've been riding since I was 9, and always had a life-long dream to race. As a kid I rode almost every day, and all day long on the weekends. My parents never let me race in my teens, and although I've ridden from 13-49 years old, it has been very little. In October 2012 I ran my first race, and was fortunate enough to get the holeshot in it too. I raced my 30 year old 1982 RM 250 that I bought brand-new when I was 20 years old. I finished tenth out of 16 in the Inaugural Hare Scramble at Highland Park Resort, my RM was dated. Less than a month later I bought my new KTM 250XC from KTM World. I raced off and on last year with it, finishing 6th, 4th, and 3rd, and received my first 1st place win in Perry, Ga (my hometown) in front of my kids last February in a SETRA race. I raced a few SORCS races toward the end of last year, and did one SETRA race also. Recently I won the wither series SORCS series in the 50C Class. I moved up to 50B for the remainder of this year.
Riding Goals
To complete the season and win the series in 50+B, maybe do a few GNCC's this year, and possibly run the GNCC series next year.
Competitive Highlights
Holeshot in my first race on my 30 year old bike! And, I obtained the holeshot, and won, in my last 5 races.
