Off Season Video Reminder: Why We Do It
I just put together a quick clip of myself and Matt Blank chasing after the #69 sidecar of Kelly Bell and Johnny Glover last summer during the MotoAmerica races at the Utah Motorsports Campus. Fellow Racers probably know that feeling of being about as fast as the person in front of you but they are … Continue reading Off Season Video Reminder: Why We Do It
