So I have a handful of race reports to catch up on over the next few days and a huge list of thank you's for everyone's support with helping me this CVMA Season. In my last race of the last round I rode the Bags off my bike. Not just figuratively but literally! Hahaa Good Thing @blackwidowcreationss makes such strong Carbon Fiber it held up to me Dragging it through the final lap of the season, reaching speeds 100mph+ with only grinding a hole in it. Sacrifices always have to be made when chasing the championship; apparently in this race the Bag was not secured but the points were!

A very very late rd 3 cvma race update from December. Early December I had Abdominal Hernia Surgery and was told to take a very long hiatus from riding to allow for recovery but the racer in me couldn't say no to gridding up but my bike did hahaha. I stripped the bike down to try and make it as light as possible and minimize costs if there was a mishap. Saturday morning in Qualifying my bike began to have issues again came in after only getting 1 hot lap in and tried to make repairs then had some fun battles in RACE 1 on Saturday but unfortunately on the 4th lap I had to exit track and take the DNF as my bikes problems were only getting worse. Then my coach and good friend @zedex_tenahr let me take his Indian FTR out for a race on Sunday at this point physically I was drained and I went and finished 4th and got some points, so overall mission successful. It's only been getting better since! Thank you to everyone who helped me survive the weekend and my wife for being a reluctant support system for me.
(A very late) cvma Rd 2 race report. I had a mechanical failure on my bagger on Saturday morning resulting in me missing both races and my good friend. @ccharleydavidson came to my rescue letting me borrow his @superhooligans bike to make my grid on sunday, where I pulled 2 P1 finishes on his bike. I can't thank him enough. Charley missed some racing for himself with @baggerracingleague to let me stay in the points fight for the season! Round 2 success wouldn't have been possible without @ccharleydavidson Thanks a ton!
Thanks to @cvr_lorax for the great pics as always!

A few weeks back I got to enjoy the first track day from @twinsontrack which was meant for the baggers and hooligans. I had the company of great friends and some great racers and they even helped some new racers get their race licenses, some of which I ended up racing against just a week later with @cvmaracing . Good times were had and I can't wait for their next event.
Big shout out to @rydergear for keeping me safe and looking sharp with this gear, @cvr_lorax and @caliphotography for capturing these shots, and @racersedgeperformance for keeping me glued to the floor with those sticky #ridedunlop#sportmaxslicks
Just wanted to share some pictures and appreciation for my coach @zedex_tenahr , Alex has spent a lot of time helping me grow as a rider and to be safer as I have been working on picking up my pace. Everything from trackside coaching, Lead Follow, talking track videos, dealing with my random phonecalls, even letting me use his bike to race when mine was down. With the new @cvmaracing season coming soon, I am very excited to continue working with Alex on improving my times/technique and developing our bikes. Thanks Coach! #Shake &Bake
