Las Vegas is by far one of the best weekends of the year. It is the very last race of the year, we seem to always find new fun things to do on the Friday before the race, basically my whole family and all of my friends come to support me, and I always seem to race my best in the Orleans Arena. In the past three years, something good has come of the November Endurocross round. The first year I finished 2^nd in the Amateur Championship, last year I finished first in the Baja Designs Night Race, and this year I finally qualified for my first MAIN EVENT! To top it off, it was a double main with two sets of points to be earned!

This last weekend was the final race of the 2011 National Hare and Hound Series.  I pretty much had the #4 spot locked up, and short of Destry DNFing and me winning there was no way I could move up in the points standings.  For me, this weekend was about proving that I could win one of these races, and that was my plan… well until I broke my foot.

This last weekend was a complete whirlwind with ups, downs, crashes, and excitement, but looking back on it all I wouldn’t have wanted it to go any better.  I was in the X games, I did really well, and the team completely succeeded in our goal to get as much exposure in front of the live audience as possible.  I can’t describe the feeling of actually making it in X games, and even leading a race at one point, but maybe this chance to give a race report will clue you in on exactly what I was feeling!
