The Miller Motorsports Park event this year was held in conjunction with the USA round of the World Superbike Series. The weekend was to be incredibly busy for me, I entered AMA superstock, AMA superbike, and also received a wildcard entry in the World Superbike races. So this meant that I was going to be racing in 5 races, in addition to all the associated qualifying, and practice sessions. We ended up finishing 10th and 13th in the AMA superbike races, 20th and 23rd in the World Superbike races, and unfortunately crashed out of the AMA superstock race.
The amount of preparation and work that went into this weekend was enormous. I really cannot say enough for everyone that helped me get ready for this event. My brother in law, Aaron Clark, was absolutely irreplaceable and I could not have done it without him. My sister, Tedi Jensen, did so much behind the scene work and running around at the track that it would make your head spin, she has always been a driving force behind my racing and I would not be where I am today without her. Tom Campion my normal mechanic worked until nearly midnight every night at the track ensuring that the bikes would be ready to ride everyday. We also brought in Kory Cowen to aid with the bike prep duties, who worked every minute of everyday without so much as a peep. Chris Cooke from RPM motorsports/ BG oils flew out to insure that we had enough hands to get everything done.
I really cannot say enough for everyone that rallied behind me and the team to make this weekend happen. The opportunity to race against the best riders in the world on American soil was such a great experience its hard to describe. I would like to give a big thanks to On The Throttle for everything. Trackstar1.com and Moto Garage Mobile Dyno Service for contributing to make sure that the weekend was a success. I must give a great big thanks to everyone that donated to help with the finances for the weekend. The weekend never would have happened without so many people contributing and I want to convey a huge thanks from myself and the team to everyone that contributed. It really meant a lot to me personally knowing that so many people jumped on board to help.
It’s amazing to think that with the help that everyone contributed we were able to put an actual privateer race bike that came off a showroom of a dealership, was built in the garage by myself and my brother in law, on a World Superbike Grid.
Thank You!!!
