Another Kiwi doing well in the states

[scott411]

those of you who read the latest DRD may have read about a young guy by the name of Josiah who made it into Loretta Lynns Amatuer nationals, the biggest amatuer race in the states. as far as i know he is the first kiwi ever to make it into this race, you have to prequalify though regions, international riders get no special entry's or favours,

he finished 16th in the first race, it is an awesome effort,

he is racing the 7-9 years 65cc class
