“I knew going into this round the start was going to be everything. So I made sure to put a lot of time in on it. I came up with a good line choice for the dust and it worked out! I came away with a second place start later on to take over the lead and bring home the overall! My team did awesome with the pit stop and everything was spot on!”

“Round 4 of the NHHA series was a struggle for me this weekend. The races earlier in the season weren’t very dusty so I had forgotten the value of getting a good start. I didn’t execute the start I needed and thus was met by a wall of blinding dust that made it extremely hard to move through the pack. If not for the extreme dust I feel I could have done much better this weekend, but I know now how important starts can be and will work to improve those. Otherwise I felt great on the bike this weekend and everything performed perfectly.”

“Got off to a mid pack start and rode through the dust the whole race. Just tried to ride smart and came home with a 2nd in Pro 250. Ready to push it and get back on the top of the podium at the next round!”

“It was great to get back to some racing last weekend at the National Hare and Hound in Panaca, NV. The 100+ temperatures and dry dusty conditions made for a very challenging day on the bike. I got off to a 3rd place start and stayed there the entire race. The heat definitely got to me and I was feeling signs of heat exhaustion half way in. I’m happy I could push myself all the way to the finish and get my Beta on the box.”
