Awesome!!!! 🤙🏻

His name sounds familiar. I’m pretty sure I grew up racing with him.

That’s rad Chris. Good for him. I guess I’m not the only moto guy that ended up heavy hauling 🤣. Is he going in 30+? I always thought I’d go back for the hell of it but the older I get and the more my business grows it seems more and more like a bad idea. 20 years later and all my LL stuff is still on the ground collecting dust. One day when I build my shop I’ll hang it all up 🤣 tell him good luck 🤙👊✊✊✊✊✊

My nephew has qualified for Loretta’s the past few years. Had a bad wreck a few weeks ago with two fractured wrists but is looking to go again this year.

It’s not easy qualifying. Good luck to Dakota and all of the other qualifiers. It’s an exciting opportunity and takes a ton of talent and motivation to be considered.

When I was racing I always seemed to have a broken bone. I was never good enough to make it but always dreamed of racing Loretta’s.

I swear it’s harder to qualify for Loretta’s than it is to win Loretta’s.

Some of my favorite childhood memories were Tuesdays at Perris and Friday nights at Starwest. My older brother would be sitting in my elementary school parking lot with the bike loaded, waiting for the bell to ring. I would run to his truck, get all my homework done on the way to the track, literally put my gear on in the truck so I could start riding as soon as we showed up. If I hit all the doubles he would take me to del taco on the way home, if I was a pussy he made me eat cold left overs our mom made that night. lol

Being a child on a 65 I remember some of the doubles feeling like mountains. I would have to hit the back 90’ table at Perris 6th gear tapped on my 65cc. When I got an 85cc it was only 4th gear tapped and I was so relieved.

lol!

Bryan would scare the shit out of me when he would hit the 90' on his 65 ... he hit a kicker off it once and wadded up big time ,
