Three months ago, when the doctor told me I was sick with a severe flu and unable to race, I was very upset. I knew that my season was at risk and all of the hard work that had been done might go to waste. 

Unfortunately I was unable to continue racing and had to forfeit any chances I had at a number 1 plate.  In November, once my body was somewhat back to normal, I made the decision that I was going to be the best desert racer on the west coast. I want to win a national hare and hound, and I knew that I needed to train hard for that to happen. This weekend at the Jackrabbits Hare and Hound, round one of the District 37 desert series I proved that I was ready for the task.

This past weekend started out great, but things just didn't end up as I had planned. I had two oportunities to gain some ground on the Number One plate, and although saturday went as good as possible, Sunday was just another story.

My weekend started out pretty good. Ed and I got an early start and got both the trailer and the Off Road Support truck loaded up and ready to race. We left the house about 9 AM, and my mom and I rode together in the Off Road Support truck and followed my dad in the motorhome.

August 20^th marked the first day back in Lucerne for me in over a month.  It felt awesome to be in a place that I consider a home.  Ed had to get some work done around the house on Saturday, so I followed my dad out in the Off Road Support truck. Joining me was my friend and club member Levi Jones who is moving to Pomona to go to school.
