AMA Dist.17 Enduro Geneseo, IL

We head out to Geneseo, IL for an enduro the last two weekend I was dealt with bad luck so this weekend goal was to start and finish with out any problems. the first test was fast and open I struggled a little to find the speed I needed to be at. the next 2 test where the most technical tests of the race and I was riding right with Jay and had good test. the 4th test I made a little mistake on a hill the cost me around 30-45 sec in this race with the test so short second it the different in placings. we came in to gas with a lot of time to recover and get ready for the last test. Half way through the last test I got lost do to the course not arrowed well which cost me enough time to drop me a few spot and got beat by the guy I am battling with in the point standings. I took 8th on the day out of 20 riders in my class which is a good day compared to my last 2 races. I would like to thank Jay for mounting my tires with mousse insert so flat tires would not happen again. I would also like to thank everyone who keeps T.C.R. going

     

AMA Nait. Enduro Park Hills, MO

We made the 5 hr drive down to Park Hills for the enduro. The race went from anything but planed there was a 3 mile transfer section before the start of the race by the time I got to the start of the test I got a front flat. I had to end up riding the first 3 test on a flat since that was the next time I would to my support team. I got to gas and put a new front tire on and was ready to make up some time that I lost half way through the 4th test I was pushing and the front end went out from under me and ended up going down hard I got back up and was trying to push and my front end just seamed to be pushing I pulled over to check see if everything was ok I found I have gotten an other flat front tire. I ended up finishing the day in 20th I rode a 44mile race 40mi of it on a flat. The last 2 races have given me some bad luck but that's racing time to regroup and come out fighting harder. I would like to thank Halls Cycles for getting my bike ready for this race from what I destroyed the weekend before.

AMA Dist. 17 Harescrambles Fosterburg, IL

We made the 4hr drive south to race the bonus round the day before my Dad picked up a new set of boots after 13yrs. from Halls Cycles. The weather was perfect for racing I got an ok start coming out on to the motocross part of it they red flagged the race. I found out that some of the classes missed a turn and came out ahead of the AA class. So they ended up restarting the race which this time I ended up getting stuck on a soft hill that I had to battle my way back then on the last lap I ended up running out of gas luckily had enough in reserve to get me back to the pit to get a splash I ended up taking 3rd and my Dad took 5th. My Dad loves the alpine star tech 7 he bought would like to thank Halls for having what we needed. I would also like to thank every one that helps T.C.R.

AMA Dist.17 Enduro Byron, IL

We heeded up for the sprint enduro up in Byron, IL the race was formatted with 4 wood test and 4 moto test. 3 out of the 4 woods test I made stupid mistakes that cost me time and wen I started running smooth and fast was with 1 wood test and 2 moto remaining. I ended up finishing 8th if would have not made the mistakes at the begging of the day I would have got into the top 5 where I should be running. For me it was not how I wanted the day to go and trying to figure out a new stile of event I did not to day just have to regroup and put in hard working and keep on pushing. I would like to thank all of our sponsors that keeps us at the races.
