This past weekend I raced at
the
Mammoth
Motocross National. The
track was fun, and I had never been there before. I rode
fairly well, and ended up finishing okay. The race was a
super fun race, and I had fun riding on the mammoth mountain
motocross track. The track was different than usual
nationals, and was mostly berms and not too many ruts. The
track got super rough, and was really fun to race on.
Overall I did fairly well, and can’t wait until Ponca and
Loretta’s.
250 Junior – 4th
place
250/450 Junior open – 3rd
place

This past weekend I raced at Glen
Helen Raceway for the Loretta Lynn southwest regional qualifier. The
track was super fun, and had the same design as it did for the pro
national that was held there a couple of weeks ago. I raced the
schoolboy 1 class on my 125 two-stroke and the schoolboy 2 class on
my 250f. The racing was good, and they used a three moto format
which made for tight overall finishes.
Schoolboy 1 (12-16) – Moto 1 – 6th
/ Moto 2 – 4th / Moto 3 – 7th / Overall – 5th
Schoolboy 2 (14-16) – Moto 1 – 10th
/ Moto 2 – 13th / Moto 3 – 5th / Overall 7th
I rode good in most of my motos but
had a couple of mistakes that cost me better finishes. Overall the
track was fun to ride, and it was a good weekend. I was able to
qualify in schoolboy 1 because top 5 were qualifying positions.

This weekend I
raced at
Speedworld motocross track
on Saturday night. The race was pretty
good, and the track was alright. They made the
track really short so that they could get done
earlier. The shorter track made it super one
lined, and hard to pass on, but other than that,
the track was fun. Overall the weekend was just
another time to get in the gate, and have fun.
In the end, my results were pretty good as well.
Schoolboy – 1st place
Big Bike Open – 1st place

This
past weekend I raced out at ET motopark in
Arizona. We went for a Saturday night
race, and the track was fairly good. The racing
was pretty good, and the track was decent. In
both of the Novice motos, I got the holeshot,
and pulled away for the win. In the first
Schoolboy moto, I got a horrible start. I passed
my way into third by the second lap. By the next
lap, I worked my way into second and was
catching the leader. I caught up, and was all
over the leader until I tried to go outside of
the rut in a corner to make a pass, and slid off
the track, and hit a hay bail. I got back on the
track only to have the third place guy all over
me again. I pulled away from him, and ended up
getting second in the first moto. In the second
moto, I got a second place start, and quickly
passed for first. I pulled away and ended up
winning the second schoolboy moto. In the big
bike open race, I got a third place start both
motos and quickly passed for second and then
first.
125

This past weekend I raced in Colorado for
the Loretta Lynn area qualifiers at Thunder
Valley. The track was good, and there was a
ton of people that showed up for the race.
On Saturday, it was super cold, and we even
got a couple of snow flurries. On Sunday,
the temperature was a bit warmer, and the
track was good. Before practice, the track
was super muddy, but by the end of the
day, the track had huge ruts in it, and was
one of the roughest tracks I have ever rode
on. My races were okay, but we qualified for
the south central regional, and that's what
we went to do. Overall It was a fun weekend,
and my results were okay.
Schoolboy 1 (12-16) - 2nd place
Schoolboy 2 (14-16) - 7th place

This past weekend we went to Boulder City
for the Loretta Lynn area qualifiers. The
area was super windy, and made for a dry and
dusty track. I raced the schoolboy 1 12-16
class in a 125 two stroke, and the schoolboy
2 14-16 class on a 250F. Overall the track
was fun despite the wind and the dust, and
my results were good.
Schoolboy 1 12-16 - 1st place

We have just
finished up with the World Minis in Las
Vegas. The week overall was okay, but not as
good as I would've liked. We qualified in
good for both the stock novice, and mod
novice. Going into the main, I had a chance
to win both classes. In the stock class, I
got into a first turn crash which put me out
of the race. I went back to race the mod
class, and was feeling okay. I came off the
gate and didn't get the greatest start. I
made a few passes, and by two laps to go I
made my way into third. I stayed there, and
went 1-3 for 3rd overall. Overall I'm not
completely excited with my results, but the
week was fairly good.

Today was the first day of racing at the world
minis. The track has been pretty good, but it is
super windy. The changed the track up a little
bit, and overall it's pretty fun.
Today I raced the 250 stock novice. I was race
3, and the track was good. I got off to a good
start, and was in second. Within the first
couple of laps I made the pass for first and
stayed there until the end of the race. So far
the races have been good, and we're having a
good time.

This past
weekend I was out at Perris Raceway for the
second round of the California Gold Cup.
Saturday practice was going good at first,
but then in my third practice, I caught my
foot in a rut, and yanked it backwards. I
felt something in my leg tear, so we packed
up and came home early. I later found out
that I partly tore a muscle in my leg, and
it ripped a piece of the bone off of my hip.
We don't know yet how long the healing
process is going to be, but we will be out
of Oak Hill and most likely World Mini as
well.

This past
weekend we went to Perris for the second
round of the California Gold Cup. Saturday
practice went good, and the track was good,
but a little muddy from the rain that they
got earlier in the week. It rained all night
Saturday, and flooded out parts of the
track, so the Sunday race was canceled.
Overall the track was fun on Saturday, but
it sucks that they had to cancel the race
for Sunday, and now have to reschedule.

 This
past weekend I raced in
Palmdale , CA for the first round of the
California Gold Cup at LACR. The track was
really good and really fast. Toward the end of
the day, the track got really rough from all the
sand, they had a lot of long straights that got
pretty rough by the end of the day. I rode
pretty good, and got one holeshot. I was happy
with the way I rode, and I can’t wait to go to
the next round of the series. Overall it was a
good weekend, and my results were pretty good:

This past weekend I raced at
Perris for the third and final round of the
California Triple Crown. It rained on
Friday, and they had to cancel practice on
Saturday. They worked all day on the track,
and it was in great condition. There were
deep ruts, and the dirt was perfect. It was
a little muddy during practice, but after
they took the tractor our there again to fix
the muddy sections, the track was great. The
weekend was good, and overall, I came away
with some good results during the race, and
overall in the series.

This past week I
have been racing in Buckeye, AZ at Arizona
Cycle Park for the Amateur Open. The track
was in great shape for the race, and I was
feeling great on the big bikes. During
practice, I was feeling great about the
week, and I was feeling really comfortable
on the track. I raced four classes, and
ended up with some good results at the end
of the week.
Mid-Size
stock novice – The first two motos I didn’t
have the greatest starts, but was able to
get into the lead and go into the main with
a 1st. In the main, I got about a
sixth place start, and worked my way to
second by the first lap. The track was muddy
at the time, and when I caught the leader, I
got hit by a lot of mud, and ran out of tear
offs. I was stuck behind first, and ended up
2nd which gave me a 2nd
overall.
Mid-Size mod
novice – The first moto I had a dead last
start, and was able to catch up to third,
and almost pass second by the motos end. In
the second moto I got a good start, and was
able to pass for the lead soon, and won the
moto. I went into the main in 1st.
In the main I got a good start again, and
was able to pass for the lead in the first
lap. I rode a smart race and ended up with a
1st place, and the championship.
Mid-Size
stock 12-17 – The first moto was alright,
and I got off the gate alright, but let a
couple of kids push me around on the first
lap, and a couple of them passed me. I went
back to about 7th, and was able
to work back up to 4th. In the
second moto I had a bad start, but I was
able to work up to second, and stay there. I
went into the main in 2nd, which
was pretty good. In the main I got a good
start, and rode a good race and ended up
fifth which gave me 5th overall.
Mid-Size mod
12-17 – The first moto wasn’t the greatest,
and I had a horrible start. I was trying to
work my way up, and I was able to pass a
couple of kids, and end up 7th.
In the second moto, I again had a bad start,
and ended up 6th. Overall I ended
up 6th place because there was
only one division, and they didn’t have a
main event.
This past
week was good, and I was able to come away
with one championship. I would like to thank
all of sponsors including Motoland, Rodney
and the guys at Fly, Dan and Crower Power,
Don at Race Tech, Pat McMullen, and Action
Motorsports for their support, and allowing
me to go out there and do good.

This
past weekend I raced the first round of the
second annual Triple Crown. The race took
place at Racetown 395 in
California . The track was in good
shape, and it was pretty fun to race on. It
was super windy
on Saturday, and was supposed to be
the same for Sunday, but the wind didn’t
reach the track, and the racing was good.
The track was great
on Sunday morning, but towards the
end of the day it got really dry. Then when
they would water it, it would be really
slippery, but they did a good job of making
the track fun to race on. Overall we had a
good weekend, and it was fun.

We
have finished up with the 5th
annual Dodge Amateur National in Sacramento.
Overall I had a good week, and I am pretty
happy with my results. In the 250 Stock
novice class, I was in first in my division.
I then went out for the main and got the
holeshot. I never looked back, and took the
win, but do to the points system that the
Dodge runs, I ended up with second place. In
the 250 mod novice class, I qualified fourth
in my division do to a bad second moto. I
had an alright start and was inside the top
ten. I was able to work my way up to second
in the moto, and I also ended up second
overall in that class as well. On the last
lap of the mod class, I cased a jump and
bounced into a braking bump. My hand had hit
the bars hard, and it was sore, and hurt to
pull in the clutch. We decided that the week
had been good so far, and we ended up not
running the schoolboy stock main. This past
week has been good, and I appreciate all
your support.

Today I
raced my second moto of the stock novice. I got
an alright start, and was in about 3rd
going into the second corner. I made a pass on a
kid, and moved into second. I was in second and
was trying to get around the leader, but he was
just a little smother than me, and I couldn’t
get around him. I ended up finishing second, and
hopefully can do something good in the main and
come away with a championship.

Today was the first day of racing and I was moto
one. The first moto was 125 stock novice. I got
an okay start, but got pushed out wide. I was
back in about 12, and the races where 6 laps so
I was able to work my way up to 3rd
by the end of the moto. I also raced my mod
novice today. I got the holeshot, and was
battling with another kid. He ended up getting
by me, and I ended up with second. My final moto
of the day was Stock Schoolboy. I got an okay
start and was in about 9th. I made a
few mistakes as the track got rougher, and ended
up getting a 12th place. Overall I am
pretty happy with my results, and hopefully can
improve as the week goes on.

This
past weekend I raced in Perris for the hot
summer nights on Saturday. The track was in
really good shape, and by the end of the night
was still really good. Overall I did well, and
it was good practice for our upcoming races. I
am feeling more comfortable on my bike, and feel
that I can do well in the races to come. Here
are my results:
125
Novice: 1st place
Schoolboy: 4th place
On
Sunday we raced the Trans Cal series at
competitive edge. They have changed the track
around since I have last been there, and I was
excited to ride a new track. It was really fast
and wide open, but still got a little rough, and
was fun to ride. I felt good, and won the first
moto of novice, and got third in schoolboy first
moto. Then things didn’t go my way. I ended up
sliding out in a corner in the novice class, and
getting up to finish about 12th. I
then went out for schoolboy and was running 2nd
when I landed off the track on a dirt bank. I
went over the bars and tweaked my bike and
couldn’t go anywhere. I ended up with a DNF in
that moto. Overall I was happy with my first
moto results, but was disappointed with my
second motos. 125 Novice: 5th place

with a couple of holeshots, but also had some
bad luck going down in a corner in the novice
class on Saturday. Overall, we had fun, and I
was happy with most of my results.

This past
weekend we raced at Perris for the Hot
Summer nights. This was my first race on a
big bike, and I had a lot of fun. We raced
the 125 novice, and the 125 schoolboy class.
In the novice class, I did alright and got
third the first moto. In the second moto I
was running second trying to make the pass
for the lead, but I fell over in a corner
and didn't end up so well. Overall I got 4th
in the novice.
In the
schoolboy class, I got a fourth the first
moto. In the second moto, I was again in
first but moved up to third. Overall I
ended up with a 3rd place finish in that
class.

Ponca City Grand National Final Note ... 31
Jul 07 |

We are
getting home from Ponca, but I didn't do to
well there. I qualified okay, but in the
mains, I had horrible starts, and just
wasn't riding the greatest. I ended up
getting about 20th place in my mains, which
is horrible considering how well I qualified
in some of my classes.
Hopefully we
can start training, and come Amateur Open we
will be 100%.

Today I had two motos to race. My first
moto was the 85 open class. I got an okay
jump off of the gate, but then got pinched
on the start and didn't get the greatest
start, but I was in the top 15. I worked my
way past a couple of kids, and ended up 7th.
My second moto was the 85 12-13 stock
class. I again got pinched on the start but was
up a little further in the pack. I
passed a couple of kids and ended up 7th
again. I know that if I get a better start
I can run up there and get a little better
position.

This
past weekend we went to competitive edge in
California to qualify for the Loretta Lynn’s
regional. We went there, and the track was
great, and they had a ton of people there.
On
Saturday we raced the 85 12-13 stock class, and
qualified in with a fourth.
On
Sunday we raced the mod and supermini class. We
qualified in about sixth on the mod, and on the
last moto of the supermini, I fell and broke my
leg.
This is
going to put us out of world mini, and possibly
out of the qualifiers for Loretta’s and Ponca.

March 7th: The track was in great shape,
and the temperature was great. They kept
the track in great condition, and it
made for some great racing. Everyone was
anxious to ride, and couldn’t wait to
ride the first national of the year.
Today I raced Supermini; overall I
didn’t do so well. I got off to an okay start in 8th, I then fell twice on the
second lap. I qualified in with a 12th, but that’s not going to help us for the
main
March 8th: The weather was once again
great, and it even got a little hot
today. The track was smooth, and they
groomed it a lot for some reason. The
track has been great so far, and
hopefully it keeps getting better.
Today I raced in 85 12-13 stock. I had
a horrible gate pick, and ended up way
outside. I got pushed way outside, and
ended up in the back of the pack. I
worked my way up and was sitting 9th,
then fell on the last lap, and ended up
qualifying with a 13th. So far things
haven’t been going our way, but it’s not
over.
March 9th: Today I raced the 85
12-13 mod class. I had again bad starts,
and had to work my way through the pack.
I ended up working up there and not
crashing like the other motos, and ended
up qualifying in with a 6th.
March 10th: Today I raced the
Supermini and stock mains. In the
Supermini main, I ended up having to
start from the way out side, and got a
horrible start, and ended up 20th in the
race which gave me a 22nd overall. In
the stock class, I had an okay gate
pick, and went off the gate okay, but
got caught in a second turn crash, and
was in the back of the pack. I ended up
getting 19h in that moto, which gave me
a 20th overall.
March 11th: Today I raced the mod
main. I was going in with a god number,
so I had a good gate pick. I had a bad
start, and worked up to about 13th. A
couple of kids then passed me, and I
ended up with a 15th which gave me 12th
overall.

Whitney. I wanted to take this time to
thank all of my sponsors including
Team Motoland and my mechanic Mat for
helping me get everything ready for Whitney,
and giving me all that I need in able to go
do good. We are looking forward to a great
year in 2007.

This
past weekend I raced at
Glen Helen for the
California Gold cup series. There was a lot
of people there for practice Saturday, but a lot
of them left Sunday after it rained for a few
hours. The track was in great condition
Saturday, but on Sunday it turned into a mud
fest. The mud was so deep that the 50’s would
literally go down the straight away and stop
when they hit the mud. We decided to stick it
out through the mud to be prepared for Texas ,
and it was a good thing that we did. Towards the
end, the track actually started to come around
and all the mud left was huge ruts and it was
good.
Here are
my results:
85 12-13
– 1st place
85 open
– 3rd place
Supermini – 4th place
I appreciate all
your support,

This past weekend
I raced at Cahuilla Creek in Anza , California
for the
CMC Golden State series. The track was in
great condition for the race, but was a little
shorter than usual because they had so many
motos to get through. Towards the end it got
rough like it usually does, and was good
practice for Whitney. Overall it was a good
weekend and we ended up good with our results:
85 open – 1st
place
85 12 – 13 – 1st
place
Supermini – 1st
place

 This
past weekend I raced at
Perris Raceway
in California for the
Triple Crown Series. The track was fun, and was completely different
then the last time I had been there. Since the last time I had been
there, they had changed the direction of the track and also added a few
different jumps. My favorite part of the track was the woop section.
There was quite a few people there, and the track got some good ruts in
the corners and surprisingly got pretty rough. Every time I have been
there, the track wasn’t very rough, but this time it actually was rough.
Overall I had a good time and did pretty good. Here are my results:
85 12-13 –
3rd place
85 open –
3rd place
Supermini –
2nd place

This
past week I raced at Arizona Cycle Park for the Amateur Open
of Motocross in Buckeye, AZ. The track was fun, and they
changed the track a little from last year. They added more
sand, and put in another uphill and downhill than last year.
The track was fun, and they had quite a few fast kids there
this year, although they didn’t have as many kids as last
year. The track got big ruts, and was really good; I only
wish that track would get that many ruts and that rough
during practice days there so we can train in those
conditions. Overall I did well, and enjoyed racing there
throughout the week.
Here are my results:
Mini 4 Stroke 150cc – In the
first moto I got a second place start and then passed for
first and won that moto. In the second moto, I got the
holeshot and stayed there for the rest of the race. Overall
I ended up 1st.
85 12-13 stock – In the first
moto I got an okay start and passed a couple of kids and
made my way into 3rd, which is were I finished that moto. In
the second moto, I got a 3rd place start and stayed there
and got third that moto. Overall ended up with a 3rd place.

85 12-13 mod- in the first moto I
got a fourth place start. I passed into third and was all over
the second place guy. I kept the pressure on him, and he finally
made a mistake and fell. I got by him and ended up 2nd in that
moto. In the second moto, I got a second place start and got
passed by one guy. I stayed in 3rd and that’s were I finished
that moto. Overall I got a 2nd place in that class.
85 open – I did good transferring
into the main and transferred in with a 2. In the main, I was
running 6th and fell. I worked back up to 10th by the end of the
moto. Overall I ended up 9th.
Supermini – In the first moto I
got an okay start and rode to a 7th place finish. In the second
moto I got a horrible start and had to pass a bunch of people,
but I was able to work my way into 6th and ended up 7th overall
in that class.
I want to thank everybody that has
helped me get to this point including my new team, Team Motoland
and Mark Brooks. I also want to thank my family as well as my
sponsors: Fly, Scott, Osiris Shoes, Renthal, Kronik Energy, No
Toil, ZR1 suspension, Action Motorsports, and everybody else
that has helped me.
Thanks for your support,

This past weekend we went to California to
race the first annual Triple Crown. This race was the first
round of the three, and it took place in Hesperia at
Competitive Edge. There was quite a few people there, and
the track was in good shape and got really rough toward the
end of the day. The track was fun, and was the same as
usual, but because they had a lot of people there it was a
lot rougher than usual. Overall I did pretty good, and I am
happy with my results. Here are my results:
85 open – 2nd place
85 12-13 – 3rd place
Supermini – 3rd place

This
past weekend I raced at
Competitive Edge Mx Park in Hesperia, CA. The track was
really fun, and was really good training because we
don't have too many tracks that get rough and that have
big ruts like they do over there. I enjoyed the track
and they made a few changes since the last time I had
been there. All they did was add a lip in front of a
down hill that turned it in to a double. I thought that
it was really fun, and that I did good considering that
there were a few fast people there to race against, and
it has been awhile since I have been on a gate with some
fast kids. Also, we didn't have a mod and were running a
stock bike in the age and open classes.
Here are my
results:
85 open - 4th
place
Supermini -2nd
place
85 12-13 age -
2nd first moto (had to get home and didn't run the
second moto)
I
appreciate all your support,

141 Update ... Austin was released from
the hospital today and is on his way home. Unfortunately while
practicing at Glen Helen for the Loretta Lynn's Qualifier Austin went
down and ruptured his spleen. The good news is that Austin is ok
and the doctors were able to save his spleen.
Danny and the entire family want to thank
everyone that stepped up to help. The motocross family is
unrivaled when it comes to helping families during times like this and
the Burns are very grateful.
Please check back to get updates on
Austin's recovery and
drop him a line if you get a chance.

This past weekend I raced at Competitive
Edge Mx Park in Hesperia, CA. We raced there Saturday
and Sunday for the Suzuki Amateur National. There were
two motos Saturday and two motos Sunday. They combined
your finishes for all four motos for the overall finish.
The track was really fun, and got kind of rough. The
corners were loamy and were really fun to hit. The jumps
were also fun including a step up that was new. There
were some fast people there including Eli Tomac. I had a
good time there, and here are my results.
85 12-13 2nd place
Supermini 4th place

 This
past weekend I raced at Speedworld Mx Park in Surprise,
AZ. We raced there Saturday and Sunday night. They were
both long nights, but it was worth it. There was a fast
person that came in from California named Bryce Stewart
and it was fun to race with him. They would usually run
quads, but they didn't this weekend. Since there were no
quads, there were actually ruts in the corners. The
track was good, but like always at Arizona tracks, it
got dry, then they would water it and it would be really
slippery. I had a good time, and my bikes ran great.
Here are my results:
Saturday:
85cc 12-13 stock 1st place
85cc 12-13 mod 1st place
85cc open 1st place
Supermini 1st place
Sunday:
85cc 12-13 Stock 1st place
85cc 12-13 mod 1st place
85cc open 1st place
Supermini 1st place

This
past weekend I raced at Competitive Edge Mx Park in
Valencia, California. The track was awesome, and it got
a little rough in the end, but it was fun. The track was
cut off a little bit because they thought they were
going to have a lot of people. They did have quite a few
people, but not as much as I expected for a Ponca City
qualifier. My bikes were running great, and I rode
great. There were some fast kids there including Mike
Leib and Kyle Engle. The track had some jumps, but they
weren't that hard. Last time I was there, they had one
hard jump that I had a hard time making, but since they
shortened the track a little bit, the jump was
shortened, because it ended up being right after a
corner, and it used to have a whooped out straight away
before it. Overall I had a great time, and here are my
results:
85 12-13 mod. The first moto, I got
stuck behind a slower guy and ended up 6th. The second
moto I got a better start, and ended up 2nd. Overall I
got a 4th place.
85 open I got good starts both
motos and got two 2nd place finishes. Overall, I got a
1st place, because the guys that got first in the motos,
weren't consistent.
Supermini In the first moto I did
good, but had to pass a few guys, so I wasn't
challenging the leaders. I ended up 3rd in the first
moto. In the second moto, I got a second place start,
but made some mistakes and wasn't challenging the
leader. The leader thought that he had the race won, but
I caught up to challenge him for the lead. He made a
mistake in a corner and I passed him. He passed me back,
and we battled through out the rest of the moto. He
ended up winning, but I was glad to battle him, because
he is one of the fast 80 riders in the area.

This past week I raced in Las Vegas at
the World Mini Grand Prix. The track was in great shape
except on the last day it got really dry because of all
of the wind. It got really rough and there were quite a
few ruts. They had a new section that was a decision
maker rhythm section. On one side it had a triple quad
double, and then on the other side, it had triple,
triple, triple, double, but the double was a lot
smaller. Most of the 80s were starting on the side with
all the triples and going triple triple, and then
cutting over and doubling out of the quad, and then
hitting the bigger double, which let us carry more
momentum into the next turn. Except for a few jumps,
everything else was the same as last year including the
famous Las Vegas strip. It is a straight away that gets
really rough and is most of the time soft. This year
they put bumps in it probably to slow it down, but we
would just skim them or double through them. I really
liked the track and I think that NMA and all of the
officials put on a great race. I had tough time there
this week, including bad starts, and being stuck in the
back of the pack. Here are my results:
85cc 12-13 stock. I was running 8th
and then got passed and was in ninth the first moto.
Then in the second moto I had a horrible start and was
in about13th half way through the race, then I moved my
way to tenth, but there were 4 divisions, so they
only took top 8 to the main and I ended up qualifying
10th.
85cc 12-13 mod. I got off to a good
start and had a second place start. I fell back to
fourth on the first lap because of a mistake, but then
passed for third and stayed there for a third in the
first moto. In the second moto, they watered it. I got
off to a decent start and almost slid out but I made a
couple passes to finish 5th in that moto. That gave me
3rd qualifying position, and I made it to that main. In
the main, I got off to a horrible start and on the first
lap, there was a pile up over a jump, and I had to come
to a complete stop because I hit another persons bike
and almost fell over. I didn't do that good in that moto
and ended up about 20th overall.
85cc open - In the first moto, I
was running okay but ended up about 10th. In the second
moto, I got off to an okay start an was running okay and
then it felt like I had a flat tire, but they just
watered the track, so it wasn't my tire making me slide
out everywhere, I was sliding out on the slick track. I
wasn't able to make it to the main in that class.
Supermini In the first moto, I was
doing pretty good, but another guy fell out of his rut
when I was trying to pass him, and he took me out. I
ended up 14th that moto, and then in the second moto I
was trying to work my way up, but fell and ended up back
in the pack and didn't make the main.
Thanks,
Austin Burns #141 |

This past weekend I raced at Arizona cycle Park in
Buckeye, AZ for the Loretta Lynn's area qualifier. The track was fun and
they added a sand section that got rough, especially towards the end of
the day. There were quite a few people that came in from out of state,
mostly people from California. I did pretty good and I would like to
thank Keith for keeping my bikes running great. I have been training and
getting ready for World Minis and we are going to be ready for it.
Thanks for your support,
Here are my results:
85cc 12-1 | |
