WORCS Round 5 Honeylake MX, Milford, California

I finished 4th. This is by far the best course that WORCS has ever put together.  A lot of virgin areas with nothing but rocks, an awesome water fall section, washes with a steep long downhill and the great motocross track Honey Lake is known for.

This race is considered my hometown race being as it is only 45 miles from my home.  I have to thank all of my family, friends and fans for coming out to support me.  I really appreciate it so much.  It was great to see my sponsor Steve from Moose.  I just wished I had more time to visit with everyone.

I am really happy with my race.  My bike was awesome thanks to Jeff Decker, my mechanic and Brett Leif the king of suspension.  I rode pretty much mistake free, with no crashes.  I know my win is coming, I just need  to find a little more speed.  I rode aggressive and strong so I know my hard work is going to pay off soon.

Destry Abbott is out with an injured shoulder and collar bone so Kawasaki had John Dowd fill in as a guest rider.  What a great guy.  He was one of the guys I looked up to when I was growing up, so it was way cool getting a chance to get to know him.  But, of course we missed Destry.

One of my sponsors Traxxis had a full on race course set up for the RC cars.  They are running a triple crown series at the WORCS races.  They held the first race on Saturday night and I have to say it was pretty fun.  I finished 3rd in the main.

I have a pretty cool opportunity to race the FIM World Motocross at Glen Helen on May 29th and 30th.  I believe this is the first time it has been held in the United States.  So I hope I can find that speed and qualify.  I will let you know.
