Crazy couple months!
- Published 11/21/2007
Sorry to leave you all hanging for so long just been a crazy last couple months. If you haven't heard we just signed on with Rockstar energy drink to do a 2 man supercross team along with our supermoto team. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but wow I can't believe all the work involved with it.
Our 1st big hurdle was getting our rider Josh Demuth out on the track for the U.S. Open supercross held in Las Vegas. We had only 7 days to prepare for the event and time was ticking. Me and Kenny Watson, who is now my Hart Racing team manager, built Josh's race bike in my garage the week before the race. Things were thrown together pretty quickly, but we got Josh in Vegas and on his bike for the start of practice on Friday.
The weekend went better than I could ever have hoped for, thanks to Josh. He showed up in vegas and rode a basic stock bike with suspension and a lil motor work to 3rd over all on the weekend. He actually almost won the thing had he passed the guy in front of him on the second night! Josh is a great guy to work with and I'm really looking forward to a great season with Josh and our newest addition Troy Adams. Troy is based out of Florida and rode for the Rockstar Suzuki team last year.
I have to say its going to be a crazy year going to the supercross races and rooting on my own riders. I now understand what my dad felt like when I was on the race track. There is a whole new outlook on race day when you have your guys out on the race racing for you.
If your a supercross fan definitely try to make your way out to one of the races. Our Rockstar/Hart and Huntington supercross team will be doing the whole season this year along with the supermoto series which is set to kick off in early spring. Big B and myself will be at 10 of the races doing autographs and hanging out with fans in the pits so come out and hang with us!!
