Race Open Senior Desert Expert on a 2004 KTM525MXC and 1997 CR500. Still racing District 37 Desert,Not as competitive now but having alot of Fun.
Rode novice for 2 years, amatuer for 11mos, then Expert open. Consistently finished in the top 20 overall usally in the top 15. Invited to race the District 37 vs DRA invintational only race, finished in the top 10 overall. To me the entire time I was racing was a highlight.
The times I had in the 70's racing district 37 was a blast. And guess what - it still is even as a Senior in 2005.
Now enjoying my 16 year old son racing he is currently #22 250 Novice. His goal, to join me as a Expert. That to me would be Awesome.
