In 2009 I started halfway through the NCHSA season racing on a 7-year-old, 65cc bike. We propped it up on a milk crate to work on it. I finished 8th in my first race and I was hooked. Then, halfway through my first full season, we realized I needed more bike if I was going to win. So, in 2010, we bought a 2008 65cc bike and I was beginning to win races at the end of that season. The next season (2011) I won the points championship for my class on my 2008 bike. In 2012 I moved up a class and stayed on my 2008 bike. Near the end of 2012, we bought a 2007 model 85cc bike and I moved up another class. This past year (2013) I won the NCHSA points championship – on a six-year-old bike.
The reason I told you the story above is so that you would know I don’t need the newest equipment to be happy and win. I still plan to race my 2007 model in 2014. I also want you to know that my dad and I work hard to take care of the bike that we’ve got.
My family has made it possible for me to race for the past four years and we’re proud to have won a couple of NCHSA points championships, and even a top 5 GNCC finish on a budget that’s pretty small compared to many of my competitors. My family will be helping again this year, but the distances (and fuel costs) to the GNCC races are greater and the competition is a little more fierce. I know I can win on my ’07 bike, but I’ll need a few extra things, like an oversized tank and a suspension update.
