My goal is to win these championships and learn even more. I was real close to winning these classes in 2009, and was always a front runner, winning some of the races. I am ready to challenge for the championships next year. I will also be racing in the WERA Southeast region on my new Honda RS85. It is time for me to start learning on the bigger faster tracks of WERA. It will be a learning year for me in the Formula 80 and 125 GP classes. My goal is to have a safe year and learn as much as I can. I can’t wait. Text Box:
