Ryan posted earlier today on facebook that he will attempt to qualify for his first national this weekend in the 250 class. If him and John both qualify they will be the only father/son to qualify for the same national in AMA history.

I've never heard any buzz about Ryan. Is he a legitimate fast guy that has a realistic shot at qualifying?

He can hold his own. He can definitely put a fast lap together that could very well qualify.

I almost think his son is racing cause this will be the last chance to ride Southwick together. He is still young and just moved up to expert and needs a year or 2. But in a couple years he will be really fast.

Father/Son, is what it's all about. Dad is the inspiration to start racing, and your son is the reason to continue. Best of Luck.

doesnt group B start practice session 1? Just wondering but i thought they did. ANyways, if that is the case he has a REALLY good chance. Wide open flat track for the whole first practice....

Joe V strikes again.....that guy is killing it on the helmets.

Can't wait to see if Ryan and John can both qualify.

What a cool family!!! I've always been a Dowd fan but I remember seeing him with no shirt on in the pits at Glen Helen back in like 2002 and that was when I realized that some of these dudes are FIT!!! That guy was pretty damn buff and super ripped. Shoot, he's like 300 years old and is STILL in better shape than most of the field. MAD PROPS TO DA HOMIE FROM DA EAST COAST YO!!!!!
