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 dirtbike. 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. Over the past few years I've taken a liking to the Missouri Hare Scrambles Championship, a 16-race series that is well
organized and well attended.
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!
