8 August 10 ... Ponca City Update This past week I raced in Ponca City Oklahoma for the Grand National championships. The week started out great for me in practice and I was feeling awesome. My lap times were good and I was looking forward to racing. The first couple days of racing were all qualifiers and I was riding well. My starts were good and I was able to get a few moto wins in the qualifiers. Going into the last day of racing and the main events I was feeling good. The morning started off great and I was riding good. As the day progressed it was going good until the last couple motos I struggled a little bit but overall it was a great week and my results were good all week. 250 stock intermediate – 3rd 250 Mod intermediate – 3rd 250 four stroke open – 4th Schoolboy – 5th

29 June 10 ... Update #49 Mammoth
motocross is always a fun and exciting race to go to and this
year was no exception. Although my results were not the greatest
there's something about just being on the mountain that sets off
a great vibe for racing. The weekend started off pretty good for
me and I was feeling comfortable in practice. Friday rolled
around and I was ready to race the schoolboy class. The
qualifier moto didn't go the greatest for me as I had a crash on
the first lap and was deep in the back of the pack. I managed to
come back up to eighth which was enough to qualify but left me
with a bad gate pick for the main. In the main I got a pretty
good start and felt good until the red flagged the race and we
had to restart. The second start was not as good for me and I
got a horrible start. I never quite got going like I did the
first start and ended up 8th overall. After a disappointing
performance I was looking forward to Saturday and the
intermediate class. The qualifier for the intermediate race went
pretty good. I rode awesome but again struggled with a bad
start. I was able to get fourth in the qualifier and get a good
ate pick. Going into the main I was focused on trying to get a
good start knowing that I had the speed to run up front. I got
an okay start but I was going to take it considering the other
starts I had the rest of the weekend. I felt good and was riding
solid in about sixth until I had a little mistake and tipped
over in a corner I was able to get going but lost a ton of spots
and was in about 20th. I was able to keep pushing until the
motos end and ended up catching up to 10th. Overall I was a
little disappointed about my end results but I felt good about
my fitness and I just need to work on starts and a little more
speed before Ponca and Lorettas.Austin Burns #141 |

14 June 1-
... Update #48 The past two weeks I did both the South west and South central regional qualifiers for Loretta Lynn's. The southwest regional held at Competitive Edge in California went pretty good. I rode good all weekend and was running up front. I was able to qualify in 250 B Mod and was in qualifying contention for schoolboy as well. Unfortunately I had a few mistakes and a big crash that would cost me qualifying positions in the schoolboy class and force me to do the south central regional. I went to Freestone County Raceway in Texas to qualify in Schoolboy because of my mistake in California. Texas went good, and the track was awesome throughout the weekend. I rode pretty good and was still a little sore from the crash in California. I was able to push through it and ended up qualifying for Schoolboy in Texas. Overall it was a good two weeks and I was able to qualify in both 250 B Mod and Schoolboy 2 (12-16) for Loretta Lynn's coming up in August.

April 10 ... Update #44This past week was the 39th annual world mini grand prix at Mesquite Mx Park in Mesquite, NV. This was the first year for the race being at this track. The track was pretty goo throughout the week. The track got really rutted and rough which made for some awesome racing. The first few days of racing consisted of qualifiers. During my qualifiers I had some bad luck and had some crashes which put me back in the pack and fighting my way through the back of the pack in order to get goo qualifying positions. I ended up qualifying with descent positions and made all the mains which is the first goal. Going into the mains I was feeling confident and ready to race. There was only 8 mains, and I was in 4 of them which left me with back to back motos. I was bale to get off to good starts in all the main events and rode good except for the last moto where I was struggled a little bit, but still managed a descent finish. Overall it was a good week of racing an my results were good.
250 stock intermediate - 4th place
250 mod intermediate - 4th place
250 four stroke open non-pro - 5th place
250 schoolboy 12-16 - 7th place

23 March 10 ... Update #42 .... Oak Hill
This past was the 34th annual GNC national championship at Oak Hill raceway. I was bummed that I didn't get to make it to Lake Whitney the week before due to a broken wrist, but was super excited to be at Oak Hill and be able to race. The week started out pretty good for me in practice and I was feeling comfortable on the track. They then started qualifying for the two moto format main events that were later on in the week. I was able to qualify into the mains and was looking forward to the main event racing. The mains started off pretty good for me, and I was riding good but struggled with starts in most motos. I was able to come away with a couple good overall finishes and I am just looking forward to the next race.
Schoolboy Mod - 4th place
Schoolboy Stock - 5th place
250 four stroke mod non pro - 8th place

3 March 10 ... Update #41 .... Good News
II haven't had much to write about the past two weeks, I've just been hanging out waiting for my wrist to heal. Yesterday I went to my doctor again and got so great news. My wrist healed great, and I am able to start riding again. I plan on riding as much as my wrist will tolerate the next two weeks and I will be ready for oak hill. I want to thank my doctor Dr. Maddox and Dr. Ezekias for all their help over the past few years and helping me to get back on the bike as soon as possible.

16 February 10 ... Update #40 ....
ET Motopark in Arizona
This past weekend I went to race at ET Motopark in Arizona. The racing was Saturday and Sunday and I was looking forward to it. Saturday went alright; I had a couple falls in the first motos, but still had a chance to win the overall. The start of the second motos was the schoolboy class, I fell on the start and dislocated my thumb but I was able to charge from last to first and got the overall win. I was also able to ride my second moto of intermediate and I got the holeshot and just rode smart for the win. I was able to get my thumb back into place Saturday night and felt good so I went to race again on Sunday. The first few motos were great, I was able to pull off all the wins and I was feeling great. Going into my last moto, they decided to water right before us. The track was super slick and I unfortunately slid down one on the landings and then high sided and went for a pretty crazy crash. I ended up chipping one of the bones in my wrist, but I am already feeling much better and I am doing everything I can to make this a short recovery time and hopefully be racing as soon as possible.
Overall Results:
Saturday: Schoolboy - 1st
250 Intermediate - 1st
Sunday: Schoolboy - 1st
250 intermediate - 3rd

8 February 10 ... San Diego Supercross -- #40This past week was pretty uneventfull. The week was pretty good; I just spent the week practicing and getting ready for the weekend where we were supposed to race over in California. Unfortuantly the rain cancelled practice and the track had huge puddles all over, so we decicded to find something else to do while we were in california. Since the tracks were all rained out we decided to go and watch San Diego Supercross. The race was pretty fun to watch and gave us something to do since we couldnt ride at the tracks. Not too much happened this week, but I am looking forward to the next few weeks and getting ready for the upcoming amateur nationals.

31 Jan 10 ... Weekly Update #39 This past weekend I raced at Motoland in Casa
Grande, AZ. I have been riding the Kawasaki's now for a couple of
weeks, and it was my first race on the new bikes. The past couple
weeks in Arizona we have got a ton of rain, and most tracks have
been flooded, but this weekend the track was awesome. It was a
pretty muddy in practice, but the track got some awesome ruts and
got pretty rough as well. Racing started out pretty good for me; I
struggled a little on starts in the beginning, but was able to pass
into the lead fast and then i just rode my own race and pulled
away. I am getting more and more comfortable on the new bikes and
there is still some things that I feel I can work on and get some
more speed. I am looking forward to some more racing in the next
couple weeks.
