Some decent names on there, people I'd love to go watch in person. Baby duties means no... this year anyway. Did notice Chris Power has entered on a WR450, which would be cool to see for something different.

Just googled him, I know he races a WR in enduro and XC but the bottom of his profile explains all.

that's an interesting read, he started racing at 22. when you watch him you wouldn't have guessed he started so late, i dabble in motocross on my WR albeit fun day maize paddock I guess that don't count for anything. i wonder if 57 is too old to start racing:lol::lol::lol:

Yep you wont be last as there's always some one who wont make it past the first lap or corner.
At Ardmore we run a 30min + a lap feature race series and I never finish outside of the top half as most young guys go to fast and burn out at 20min, lol. Add in rain and deep mud and most just go home to their Video games.

Hey Scott, do me a favor if you see number 45 Matt Orton in MX2 tell him to keep his cool and just finish!
The boys got some speed but gets carried away trying to do to much and crashes his chances away. Gunna be scary to watch at Harrisville he looks so sketchy!

Hope it all goes smooth for ya bro.

Thanks for putting the links up.

Was trying to find some info and there seems to be fuck all advertising. Google wasn't even very helpful.

Going to check it out now.

Every week at work someone walks in and chats to me for about 10 minutes about Josiah Natzke.

Checked out his results and this kid seems to be kicking ass. From what I am told he is only 15 racing kids 3 or 4 years older than him.

2 seconds clear in qualy, 6 seconds race 1, 20 seconds race 2, 6 seconds race 3. This kid could be one to watch in the future!
