 Round two of the National Hare and Hound Series was this last weekend, and after a great start to the 2011 season, I was eager to have another shot at the podium. Things aren’t going to be easy this year in he NHHA series, as we have about 6 guys who could easily run up front on any day, and as I would learn at Round Two, I was going to have to be on top of my game to be up there with them. The start was a little bit overgrown, and I really couldn’t pick a good line on Saturday. We decided to just get the morning come, and select a line that was as far from the rest of the fast guys as possible- I won’t be doing that again!
My line ended up being pretty good, but the overgrowth of bushes really made my overall speed suffer. I worked it in pretty good pre race, and packed my line down hoping to get a good solid start, and from there it was just up to me and the bike to get to the front before the banners.
My start was way right, and I settled in behind Destry about half way down the bomb. I did get a 1st kick, so my jump off the line was good, but I just had to go further than he did and ultimately got stuck in his dust. Kendall and David Pearson led off the start, but they were way left and didn’t go through the banners like Destry and I did, I felt like that too might have been a huge advantage for them.

This last weekend my family and I headed up to Taft for Round One of the Big 6 Grand Prix Series. I am going to miss most of these rounds this year, so it was really just more for fun but it ended up being a great weekend!

 Round one of the National Hare and Hound Series went just about as good as could be this last weekend. I feel like all of the months of preparation, and everything that Ed, my dad, and Tuner have done in the garage have paid off, and I am proud to say that I got myself and all of my sponsors on the podium for the second time this year.
With a ten round series that has no throw outs, it’s important to get as many points as possible as soon as possible. The goal this weekend was to get on the podium, and with the start that I got it almost didn’t look like it was going to happen. But, I knew that it was going to be a long race, and anything could happen as the race wore on.

 As the season ended last year, I sat on the hillside watching the competition go by and my chance of a number one plate just slipping away. With a hole in my case and no oil I realized how quickly things can go from good to bad. So for 2011 I have completely changed the game plan!
Things have been different since that 100’s race back in October, and now more than ever I have a serious goal and plan to get myself there. I want to get as many number one plates as possible this year, and I am going to do it starting right away. The more I can win early on in the year, the less I have to worry at the end of the season!
Jackrabbits was first on the list for me, and it was one of the more important races as far as the season is concerned. For the last two years I have finished second overall, and literally been within inches of winning both times. Last year I just didn’t have the speed that Quinn and his 450 had, and the following weekend a gearing change made all of the difference. This year, that wasn’t going to happen! The bike that Ed and My dad have built is, in my opinion, one of the strongest out there. I am confident that it will be able to run with Kendall and Kurt this year, and the out pouring of products from the sponsors this year means that our equipment will be top notch every weekend, and that is what it takes to win.
