For our first time at Cernics track for round 11th of the MDRA serie, we had the great surprise to find out that we were going to race with the guys from the Pro Am serie in the 250 and 450 Pro classes.

Full gate, 20 mn motos, finally some real racing! I'm about tired of those 5 sprint laps local races.

The track was great with some serious elevation changes and a cool big rythm section.

The saturday practice went well beside the fact that I only slept a few hours due to some late night driving friday.

Sunday was good, I won the first Vet moto and was pump for the 450 Pro class.

Unfortunately, after a good start it wasn't to be and I DNF the first moto since my broken femur over a year ago.: bad front brake master cylinder...

 My next vet moto was next so I pulled off back to the pits to fix the dam thing. I made it right on time for the gate drop and won.

Second moto of the 450 Pro Am was better even with a not-so-good start. I battle my way from mid 20's to 7th. I'm pump to see that I'm in better shape than most of the younger pro-want-to-be racers. Yeap, hard work pay off.

Great weekend and I only wish I could get that kind of track time and competition every week.

Check out the result page for the complete result.

I remember the first time I heard about this race, back in the day and trought the year racing in the US I've learned to understand the magnitude of the event.

Over 25,000 riders nationwide try to get to the 1300 spot available and who ever make it is a serious rider.

I can't even beging to describe the level of energy coming out of this place for a solid week. The crazyness in the pits, the awesome racing, the hype.... incredible!

 I brought home 2 podium (3-2 in 35+)  and a 3rd overall in 35+ and 8th in 25+. I crash in the 1st and 3rd moto in the 25+ class. I was 3rd until the last lap in the first moto!!

Anyhow, I'm please for my first time out there and I'll ready for next year for a shot at the title.

Great experience and I can't wait for next year!

We had A LOT OF FUN with all the kids....Zack #59, Jake #42, and Viktor #84!

I made it!

After debating between doing the Pro National and the Loretta Lynn's, I've decided to give a shot at the most notorious amateur race of the planet.

 The Pro National are a lot of fun but It cost so much money and the feedback is not the greatest for a privater like me, and I've paid my due at the pro level.

So, After qualifing with a 4th and 2nd overal at the regional, I will be in Tennesse behind the gate of the Junior 25+ and +35A. I never try for LL and if it's has much fun has the Mini O's, I can't wait to be there!

Full house at Sleepy Hollow and DMX!

Double D6/Ultimate race  weekend with practice on saturday, Sleepy race on Sunday and DMX race on Monday. Very intense, imagine 700+ rider with 33 openA riders on the gate! Everybody was there, with the contingencie money up for grab, the place look like a D6 national! Very good racing both day, I wish every race could be that competitive. I beat Barry Carsten a few time, wich is always an accomplishment!!

We left sleepy sunday night, fill the water tank and headed to DMX for the night. We park with the Pagoda crew (always a good time..) behind the starting gate, next to staging.

The race was good, a little dusty at time but the track was awesome, rought and ruted with lots of lines.

It took me a few days to recover but what a weekend!! Check the results on the results page to see what happened on the track.

Thanks to all my sponsors and Eric to let me used the Crossroads trailer.

See you!

Batling with Casey Clark

Strange race day, with a 10 and a 1st in openA for 5th overal. I couldn't get my start going today until the last couple of moto. Daniel corbin on the #167 yami crash in front of me really hard and almost took me out in the first openA race. Those kid are tought!! I won the vet classes but didn't make much money.. hey maybe better next time!

Very good week end!

I clean house winning all three A classes at Mountaineer. Great start, mud and short moto made it for a easy kill.

 I still don't understant how I can  holeshoot the all pack of tricked-out 450'son my beat up 80+ hours stock 07' RMZ ... I guess it's mental!!

Anyway, it's always a good feeling to win races and I know there is more to come!

See you,

Greg

Look who's coming :

Mark De Reuver, just signed with Martin Honda

As the Netherlands’ current best rider Marc de Reuver scored a mixed bag of results in his 2006 MX2-GP season. Especially during the first half of the calendar, however, he was able to show his long-admired talent and speed scoring a hand full of podiums including a GP victory in Bulgaria. Marc ended his third season in the MX2 world championship series in fifth position.   Widely recognised as perhaps the most accomplished sand rider in the Grand Prix paddock Marc comes to Yamaha and the MX1 class for 2007 and his seventh year of FIM competition. He initially made an impact in the 2001 125cc World Championship with a debut podium position at the second round of the season at Valkenswaard riding a Yamaha YZ125. He also claimed national honors that year in his native Holland.  Marc’s aggressive, fearless and relentless riding style singled him out for success before he had even turned 20 years old but a disastrous spell of bad luck saw injuries curtail consecutive attempts at the 125 and then MX2 titles. His first GP victory came in at Teutschenthal in Germany during the 2003 season but it was a highpoint of a difficult period for the rider from Amstelveen (near Amsterdam) as an injury forced him onto the sidelines when he should have been tasting rostrum champagne.      He blasted back into the spotlight with a comprehensive performance in the sand of Lierop for the 2004 Motocross of Nations where he fought Stefan Everts on a rare outing on a 450 bike and helped the Dutch team to their first silverware in the historic tournament.  Last year Marc briefly challenged for the MX2 World Championship and was the most consistent rider in the series until a mid-season dip lowered his chances. Along with his Bulgarian triumph at Sevlievo he also added four more podiums from fifteen events. His raw speed and enormous potential made him a target for the newly evolved Yamaha Motocross Team and he is welcomed back to the brand where he first made his international name near the start of the millennium. Marc is one of the more charismatic members of the Grand Prix fraternity and his quick-wit means he is appreciated by both media and fans alike.

Last minute call to go to the legendary week long race in Florida. Agnes wanted to get out of cold and snowy PA and I've been dreaming of going to this event for ever.I guess it's never to late ! After rushing to get everything ready and packing the van to the roof ,we followed the Kastle Klan (Kastle family, sexy nicky Weber and David and his 2 boys) down the 900+ miles to Gatorback Cycle park.

We got at the track on saturday. Parking wasn't to far from the track and the pits dude give plenty of room to everybody, nice touch. The facility is very impressive, lot of attention to details, clean, really cool looking SX track can . We spend sunday getting set up and walking the track.

RACING !!! About   f&%#*g time ! I was ready to go but crash my brain in the second turn of my first SX moto. I finish 18th. Great start.... not. Anyway  the rest of the SX was tuff, I had great holeshot but I didn't keep up the pace. The track was fast for an SX and I didn't had the best corner speed.  Good time anyway. !10th and 11th in the final.

Nice facility, hardcore racing, warm weather, good fun with friends, what else to ask for?

Best result of the week in the mud. 6th.

          I was the only 250F in the vet class. I got good start anyway.          

Toys for kids!

Sunday morning we were in Phillie, thousands of bikes showed up for the kids.

And the afternoon we were invited to go the NORTHEAST MX CLUB in New Jersey, Great Track and Great Peoples! Thanks.

My surgeon has clear me to ride! Good deal, but I still have to take it easy. We've talked about my left knee and  removing my plates and screws in my lower left leg. I'll go back in January to see when we'll do it. WFO !!!

Awesome practice day today at the Rausch Creek facility. I've burned a lot of fuel and my condition is slowly getting better.

The RRP/Crossroad CRF got her new Motographx dress and look pretty!

I really put down the hammer and try to moto hard and by the end of the day I had the track dialed in.

Agnes took some cool pics today. I have a lot of work ahead of me but I'm keeping my head down.
