SUMMARY

 Racing Background

My first race was at age 4, at an Arenacross in Nashville Tennessee on January 14, 2000 on a Yamaha PW50. I have since competed in several hundred races in Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia. I love to ride and race and I strive to improve each time I ride.

Josh did GREAT at the 2006 Branson MX Nationals. 

2nd - 65 9-11 Stock

3rd - 65 9-11 Open

3rd - 65 Open


08/14/2006: News Flash: Josh qualified for the AMA Motocross Nationals this year but we didn't have good luck at the race. We were just happy to be there though as Josh was one of a handfull of 10 year olds in the 65cc 10-11 class. He had a tough week with a 38-29-33. Out goal was to get in the 20's in at least one moto and to get a decent start in at least one moto. You would have thought he had won Loretta's when he placed 29th in the second moto. With those finishes it's hard to find a bright spot in the week, but in the last moto, Josh got a GREAT start. It was short lived since he crashed in the 10 commandments and ended up near last. Check out the picture of the start in the 3rd moto (#51 in the middle).
