June 20 & 21

I officially got to announce down at Gator motorplex in Willis, TX. Although extremely nervous (considering it was my first ACTUAL commentary event) I think I did fine. I’ve been around the racetrack (MX) for about 16-17 years now but car racing (utv) is quite a bit different from drafting, drifting, starting, qualifying, etc. The things I loved about the TORA Series was the grand stands were full for a Saturday night event (approx 1,200 in attendance), low dust and lower temperatures. 

So, I am now the commentator for the TORA Series. You can visit www.gcqra.com  for info on their series. (I’m in a dentist office and the song is “however do you want me”)………classic!! So we (Jacob) pinned it over to Prawler’s to catch up then over to Cornerstone (www.csmxpark.com) to vend at their first ever race which was jamming by the way! The track was disked deep and soaked! It reminded me of the great outdoors! The ruts were great in all the corners especially where we were parked. Almost forgetting about the racing cause I’m still drooling over the track conditions, haha! Dibartolo stomped ‘em in the end but Ronnie Jackson showed some ridiculously fast speed and led the first half of 8 laps both motos. But Randy Dibartolo was going good. He is supposed to ride the final 3 rounds of the outdoors after Loretta’s so keep your eyes open for him.

Jake and I were cruising through the rolling hills with the windows down after leaving Gator (on behalf of the A/C not working) but that really took me back to those days driving to Loretta Lynn’s Dude Ranch cruising through the rolling hills dreaming of being one of Motocross stars (now they’re playing Selena!). Now with all the qualifying for the biggest amateur nationals going on really takes me back to the qualifiers, how I felt, my competition, all sorts of different feelings and emotions with that pressure at such a young age (I think they’re playing the Major Payne soundtrack now…)

I want to talk some more about Alessi and other subjects but this music is taking me over!! I’m gonna dance for a hot sec. Hopefully nothing bad happens otherwise we’ll be making another episode of “when keeping it real goes wrong…”
