bad luck continues
After my motor blew up the last time i raced me and the people at Melton Motorsports purchased a new race car to finish out the 2011 season and to rebuild for high dollar money races in the season 2012. I practiced the car and got it dialed in for the the race that weekend.
Got to the race track and during practice the car was perfect. After words the time rolled around for the heat race and the air temp. cooled off so the set up on the car went away. The Melton Motorsports racing team put alot of effort in a short amount of time to get the car right. When the time for the main event raced rolled around i started fourth and the car set up was great, then after 5 laps of good hard racing, i came into turn one again and i heard the sound of the rods goin through the oil pan. She Blew Up. 2 in a row.

bad luck
Bad luck struck me the other night while i was in racing action at kentucky motor speedway. My motor blew up after 2 and a half years of hard racing. That night was the best my car had ever run at kentucky motor speedway. It was hooking up through the corners perfect, and the motor was running strong down the straight aways.
i started fourth on the outside second run. Going down the back stretch i passed for third place. After i races hard for 5 laps i was about to pass for the second position. Coming into turn one my motor was running 7,000 rpm and then the worst happened. The loud explosion of the rods shooting through the oil pan, and the hot water sprinkling on the windshield. She blew up.

BACK BREAKER
On January 18, 2008, i was still racing motocross and i was running in Greenville indoors series. I just got my brand new bike, KTM 85 SX, and i was doing great on it. Everything was goin smooth until the last lap and the last jump. I hit the jump and the bike shot straight up in the air, throwing me off and i was free falling through the air. When ever my body hit the hard sufrace of the race track, it brought tears to my eyes.
For a month and a half, i walked around in pain, but trying not to pay attention to it, soon after i was lifting weights and i lifted to much and the worst thing ever happened. There was a pop and tears were brought back to my eyes and i went straight to the hospital cause i could barley move. They took x-rays of me and were stunned at what they seen, i fractured 3 verturbrays in my back and crushed to of them and they were putting stress on my spinal cord. In the end i was forced to were a back brace for 3 months so the break could heel.

THE BEST DAY
The best day of my life was july 22 2011, i went to bowling green raceway park to race on a friday night. I was the only out of towner and i was feeling the heat from all of the local racecar drivers at bowling green cause they didnt want me there cause they dont like outsiders coming down and winning and taking there money and trophys. But i kept my head up and started the outside front row for the main event race and coming out of turn2 i took the lead and never looked back. The bowling green boys tryed every which way to get around me, but they couldnt. Once i got the lead i led all 20 laps and won the race. It was the best filling in my life to do what the local bowling green boys didnt want me to do.

ALMOST DONE!
Its hard to believe that this is my lasy year of school. I look back now and it seems like time has just flew by. I still remeber some of my days in kindergarden, playing with blocks, nap time, playing on the playground after lunch. Now i am a senior and thinking about what i am gunna do in 7 months when my education is finished. I remember growing up complaining about school and my parents telling me I will be done before you know it, and i didnt believe them, not i understand what they were saying.
