I've been competing in off-road motorcycle events since 1994, when I began my racing "career" at a Hare Scramble near Decatur, Illinois.  I had
dreamed of competing for many years, but I didn't have an opportunity until after I graduated from college and could support myself and afford to
buy a racing dirt bike.  Most of the younger racers get help from their parents in buying and maintaining their motorcycles and traveling to the
races.  That kind of help wasn't available for me, so the dream was just that, a dream, until the Fall of 1993, when I bought a brand new 1994
Suzuki RMX250.

During the first few years I raced, I was pretty much a "recreational" racer, doing 6-8 races a year. In Illinois, the races tend to be held where the
hills are, which were often several hours from where I lived. The race schedule increased in 1999, my first full year in St. Louis. With more racing
venues closer to home, I found it easier to get excited about going to the races. I spent about 6 years as a regular in the Missouri Hare
Scrambles Championship, a very competitive, well organized and well attended off-road series. In 2002 I won the Open B class and eventually
worked my way into the A Sportsman class. Now that I'm back in Illinois, I mostly race the Vet A class in a handful of various regional series in
Illinois and Indiana.

In 1999 I began documenting my (mis)adventures in racing to give others a perspective on what the average guy sees at a hare scramble or
enduro. Enjoy!
