This past week has been a rollercoaster of emotion for me. Last week Angie and I loaded up the Torco bike and went to put it on display at a performance racing show in Cincinnati, OH for S&S. S&S builds all of the Buell motors. S&S is awesome, so I was excited to go up there and represent them.

There were a ton of racing booths set up and a lot of very interesting people as well. We ran into a few pro football players as well. Needless to say we had a great time. We hung out there for a few days and then loaded up and went to Indy to drop off the bike, so that it could get its new paint job.

I am sure all of you know by now that I have a sponsor again. YAHOOOO! Kenny Koretsky came to my rescue with Nitro Fish. Kenny is good friends with my dad and we had talked every now and then about sponsorship and I am proud to say that it finally worked out. The bike looks incredible. The hauler design is unbelievable as well. You all are going to be knocked on your feet when you get to Gainesville.

We have a lot of work to do before we can get going again, but we are doing everything it takes to get it done. I actually get to go to Gainesville with the # 1 on the side of by bike and try and defend my title. I know it’s not going to be easy, but we are going to give it all we got.

Angie will be running some as well on the second bike. We are still looking for a full-time deal with her, so if you all know anyone good send them our way.

I am so pumped about this season. I think it is going to be great and I can’t wait to get things kicked off in about a month or so.

I wanted to thank you all for sticking behind me through this tough time, but we are back on our feet and ready to kick some butt again this year. Hope to see you all out in Gainesville next month. Come check us out!

I am hopping on a plane today to go to Pomona, so check back in next week to see some cool pictures. See ya!
