6/29/2008: Wound up a double header national..We were fast at Bedford..Made the Final and didnt run as well in the main...At Lima we came up short of the main event , but we learned and were getting faster...The new team is awesome....They make you feel like a factory rider!!!!!
6/22/2008: Well the new ride/sponsorship started off real well. We qualified 3rd at Maryville,TN 1/2 mile...Beautiful facility with a standing room only crowd....We got third in our heat, felt good enough to win it, and had tough luck in the main. Jared Mees fell in the 1st corner and his bike landed right in front of me...I hit it and bent the forks and wheel, so we were done for the night. We hope to continue being fast at the nationals and making the mains. Next week is a double header National......!!!!!!!!!

3/4/2008: The Hot Shoe races are over and the two Nationals are next here in Daytona. We had some success in the Hot Shoe series making some main events and running pretty good. We were pretty fast on the 750 and sometimes really fast on the 450. Great experience so far and hopefully more to come in the next couple of days. We had a top 5 in one of the 450 mains and were headed for another before being knocked down on the last lap. Still having a BLAST!!
2/4/2008: First race of the season in Tyler, TX went pretty well. It is a banked 3/8 mile clay oval, was a little rough, but probably typical of tracks ahead in the season. On Saturday we were a little off on the setup but still got second..Sunday we tried a few different things and won. The race was still sort of a test for us and the two single machines. Overall a good weekend. We also rode our XR 750 Harley that we will be campaigning in the Expert twins this season. We always learn a little more each time out, so it was ALL good!!!
1/19/2008, was a successful test on the singles in preparation
for the up coming season at The track North 40 in Sherman,TX.
