Amateur racers are the back bone of MX around the world and is where all of our MX stars started! Racing for us is not done for "little plastic trophies" as some of those say that do not race, we race because we are competitive and like to win as much as any pro and that translates to fun!
So how did all of you who race do this year in your championship series? This is for all ages BTW not just for the "kids" Ha! I'm 58 and still as focused and driven as when i was i my 20's. Ok its time to brag or complain or tell your quick story boys and girls!
Me D-23 +40B 1st place, +45B tied for 1st, qualified in first round for +40 loretta's but decided it was to much work to go further. I had a fun season with no major injuries for once! Soon back to Brasil for the winter and try to race the series there and i may hang at the beach a bit if i am forced by my GF!

DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Finally got back in the groove after breaking his back in 2008 and making the move to the big bikes in 09.
Couple nice holeshots and a moto win was good for this year, next years goals are a little higher.
Best part was the smile on his face and no ER visits......lol.
i'm 35 now and am just as competitive as i was racing as a kid.
Gold Cup @ Glen Helen: more horrible results.
Had surgery in Febuary, was out til July.
Worked hard to get in shape the whole time I was off.
LACR Last ever race: 5th place
Trans-Cal Milestone: Bad starts, last place both motos.
I end my 2010 season with a dislocated shoulder.
After 2010, i'm the biggest joke in motocross
Hopefully by the end of 2011 i'm the next big thing in motocross.
Don't think i'll be ready to "do work" by Gold Cup in January, but maybe the LLQs. We'll see.
We're gonna do better next year because we are a year older in the same class.
I only raced once to show my little one I know how.
Then headed too quickly to, summer
Followed by autum, followed with a little bit of johnny winter,
Is it true yours goes backwards,
I ened up 6th in my Vet B, with only 9 races and won a series title at Cambridge summer series.
Overall decent year, only ER visit was to check out my daughter aftter a crash, but all went well.
Funny thing is, I never even fell off the bike in either of these injuries!!! Maybe I have learned a thing or two in 25 years of riding.... even if the doctor doesn't believe me...lol
got a few trophies and 2nd in points @ 2 tracks in D6
Pit Row
Great to see all you guys love to race, when you hit the track in a real race it brings out the beast in you eh? Ha ha
After Baltimore, Hampton and Youngstown Arenacross I finished second in points in 40+ and 35+ and went to Vegas in May. Going to the Supercross finals and racing the track the next day was awesome- although I rung my bell second lap of practice and finished 14th on the day.
Didn't make it past Loretta's local qualifier and pretty much quit riding the MDRA Series in July after my leg was hurting so bad. Taking a break from riding right now to try and recharge for next year- we'll see how my body feels.
Tomorrow I leave for Gatorback and the Mini-O's, I have more fun there than at any other MX event and can't wait to get there. I feel like I am 16 again, well except when I get up and try and move around then reality sets back in..
half way through the year i moved from a 250f to the 1502t(apparantly two strokes are uncompetative) and went consisently into the top ten and finished the year with a few mid pack finishes in the b.
next year im going for an assault on the b class to crack the top ten.
I may have raced a bit less than the over-65+ gate drops I did in 09, but I visited new places to race and had a ball.
And...I met raddad!
