Experience:
"My experience started when I was only three years old with a Suzuki JR50. At age nine I started riding a RM65 Suzuki. I began my first series of races when I was ten in Bunnell, FL (Pax Trax). I finished in 2nd place. At age eleven I moved up to a RM85 Suzuki and raced my second series at Pax Trax in the 85 7-11 group and came in 1st place. I then started the Florida Series that races all over the state. I came in 4th over all in the 85 beginners. I didn't do the whole series so it wasn't counted but my experience racing it definately did. My next series was the Summer Slam 2007 Bithlo, FL. I ran the 85 7-11 and came in 4th overall. My last series was the Fall Classic 2007 at Bithlo, FL which I came in at 1st place in the 150 class and 1st place in the Super Mini. I am now training for the Florida Series that starts in February of 2008.
