Matt here. Well guys, I can finally clue you all in to what I have been working on over the winter and put most of the rumors to rest. First of all I am very excited and very anxious to get this season started. So here goes. Yes, we did purchase my Buell from last year along with a motor or two. I have also purchased a new truck and trailer to haul everything around in. We were actually going to have a two-bike team this year, but some things fell through and for 2007 we will be a single-bike team. Hopefully we can do well once again this season and expand our operation in 2008.
Last year I finally broke through and won my first race, then went on to break into the Six-Second Club and win the U.S. Nationals. I am hoping to have the same great success this year. I am happy to announce that I will once again be representing Torco Race Fuels along with Skull Gear in 2007. Evan Knoll and Latrell Preston have literally made my dreams come true the last few years and I can’t thank them enough for backing me. I also have Red Line Oil on board once again, as well as Mac Tools, Carolina Drilling and with the help of Mark Stockseth I will be running for the POWERade Championship in 2007.
We only have about one month till Gainesville, which is the bikes first race and I am pumped up. Everyone has been working hard the last few months and it is going to be tough this year in the Pro Stock Motorcycle class, just like it is every year. There are some very strong teams out there and I think we are one of them, and with the new points system you never know what might happen. So stay tuned!
