Congrats to Michael Akaydin for his efforts last night. I believe last night was his first ever 450 main! He used to post here every now and then , so the boy deserves a shout out. Great job Michael !!

And to add to your post: When has someone with an Engineering degree qualified for a main event.

Michael is a good guy no doubt about it and is obviously much more than an one trick pony.

We help Michael out every year by servicing his van at the shop when they come to San Diego for SX. We've been following him the past few years and enjoy his email updates. Needless to say, the wife and I were screaming at the TV rooting for Michael to make it into the main. It was the highlight of our SX night for sure! Nicely done, Michael!!!

Hey Mike, I had a blast this year! Congratulations again my friend. And thanks for the honk and wave on the way out of Vegas! We'll see you in a few weeks.

Well you know what they say Michael....once you make the first one , the next ones come even easier. Great job again Michael and hope you do well in the nationals ( if you're racing them ).

Hell yeah I'm hoping so. Thanks for the post jeffro! We are cruising down the road on a 28 hr trip back home to get back to work and ready for outdoors. I'm hoping to do half of them this season.

Glad to see some guys I know on here Mike, Jon, Keith and always a good time seeing Gibby running around snappin pics.
