Kurtz Racing and Team True took off at 7am Friday to be able to get to little Sahara Dunes in Utah for round 3 of the SRT AMA National Hare and Hound. It was tuff to go the distance as my partner in racing Jeanne Young was not able to attend due to a previous commitment. We made it with an hour to spare for registration and then back to the hotel to get rested for Race day!

Saturday Morning Cody was ready to Shred on Kurtz Racing Team True Racing KTM 105 Super Mini. It was a great day and after walking the Bomb for a good like he was ready. The Flag dropped and it was a great start for Cody, his TBT Racing Suspension let him pin it to be able to get a top 5 at the end of the bomb. After a couple of crazy crashes trying to pass in the Dust he came in 4th after the 1st loop. He was charging hard and on the last lap was able to make the pass for the last spot on the Podium. It was great to see his RadCustomGraphics covered dirt bike on top of the NHHA trailer!

My race started at 12 pm that day and while it was a perfect day, this bomb was intimidating. Over a 1/4 mile of dune grass and drop offs that came out of no where, Needless to say I spent some time in prayer and actually was able to pray over all of us quad racers. The flag dropped and TBT Racing Motor sprang to life and I had a great start. Saw 2 quads take a tumble right in front of me in a bad G out, my Fasst Flexx Bars took it in stride and as they popped up, I kept charging. About halfway through the first loop I found a Pro Quad racer stuck in a tree after blowing a poorly marked 90 degree corner.
I jumped off to help, and this let Rachel who had been on my tail for the last few miles get by.
Put my head down and removed a tear off on my X Brand Goggles, with clear vision I just kept charging and told my self that 1st could be right in front of me. It got hot in the valleys of those steep Mountains but my Moose Racing Sahara Gear kept me cool, I love this gear and how it fits a Big Man like me. My AMSOIL filled quad ran cool as well and never had any issues. With all the Dust I was worried about my air filter but my UNI air filters never even struggled. In the last lap I was able to make 2 passes and i thought it put my RADCUSTOMGRAPHICS covered Yamaha Raptor 700 on top of the box but after the club went through the results I ended up 2nd. Thanks to T&T Automotive for keeping the tires on the TTR war wagon, and to Panic Rev for helping me look fresh. I am still in AWE of how much gear and great prices I can get for my quad from Parts Unlimited. Thanks to RSI Petroleum and Sporty Fuel for the race Gas and to KURTZ Racing for always being there to support me. To GOD be the Glory!

Sorry for the late post it's been a busy week:
For round one of the NHHA series I would would begin prepping early in the week trying to get my bike running in tip top shape (in which I did). My mother, girlfriend, and I would head out in the am on Saturday morning out to the race site. I would test my awesome tbt suspension to get it the best I could possibly make it. Saturday was filled with fun and testing and a good time with family and i went to bed early to get a good night sleep.
Sunday morning I woke up early to get my bike on the line. My start was one of the best starts I've ever had, I was top ten to the end of the bomb. I passed a lot of people and I also got passed by a lot of people. Coming in after the first loop I was inside the top 20, I got a quick pit from Michael Allenand my dad and was off on the second loop. The second loop was very fun and technical, but you could make a lot of mistakes, which I did. I had a lot of fun and know what to work on (patience) to get the win next round. I ended up 2nd open expert and 20th overall. Thank you to all my sponsors; amsoil, team true racing, vonzipper, moose racing, FMF, Racetech, Dunlop, parts unlimited, FasstCompany Flexx Handlebars, AME grips, dirt tricks, rekluse, ims, rsi, asterisk, rad mfg.

Lots of preperation went into this race. Bike was running perfect, everything was triple checked and I was in great shape. Ran unclassified on friday on the practice bike. Bike ran great and had a little spill in a turn and broke the front break lever. I finished the lap and went to camp to swap levers and went back out and finished. The coarse was fast and fun. Saturday came around and I had an ok start, was right behind @thmotox after he took a nasty digger. Lost a couple positions after the first few turns but after I got in my groove I was passing everyone back and picking my way towards the top. Around halfway through the first lap the motor locked up and my day was over. It was a devastating day for me and my Dad but there is nothing I could have done about it. Yesturday is history and tomorrow's your mystery and I will be back for round 2 and ready to go. I just want to thank God for keeping me safe during the race and @dperkins71 @teamtrueracing @jeanneyoung01 for all the support along with @wrench_league @primecutconstruction and @tbtracing. Thanks to all my sponsors @fasstcompany @johnburrcycles @imsproducts @onealracing @teamevs @evssports @radcustomgraphics @xbrandgoggles @stioffroad @protaper

It was a beautiful day and just a slight breeze at the Last Race ever to be held in the newly lost Marine Expansion Area at the Johnson Valley OHV. I don't blame the Marines the real villain here is still the EnviroNatzis that took away most of the Marines training area at 29 Palms….

The quad Line was huge, returning Champion Colt Brinkerhoff was there with his Rosie the Riveter Quad

Chris Peatross the B class Champion was there and now riding with a red Stripe so that that meant my year for chasing a National Championship was about to begin!

Our line was about 20 quads, good turn out, lots of new and old racers and I was stoked. Little sad that my teammate Jim Evans was not there but he is healing from a broken Femur so keep him in prayer.

Peggy Ogaz was there on here TTR steed and we were about to take off!

Banner up, not a sound, I was praying for the race and Boom here we go. Got a great start on my TBT tuned Slo Boy racing Maintained Yamaha Raptor 700 only saw a couple quads get out in front of me on the right and I was charging. Right before the end of the Bomb Chris P jetted in front of me to make a charge for the lead. It got real dusty real fast and next thing I know Chris is Crashing in front of me with his bike landing on his back. I was praying before my feet hit the ground and when we got the bike off him Chris was ok and told us to go…God is Good.!!

Lost a lot of time but stared to pick up some of the novice riders and was about to make a pass on another one, he tried to keep me from passing and went too fast into a bad whoop section. Bam 2nd Knarly crash I watch of the day. Got the Quad off him and moved it to protect him. He was hurting bad. Some help showed up and looked like he was going to be ok so I got back on my Quad and let my new TBT race tech suspension do its job. I know I could not get back to the front but still wanted to push. about 25 miles in I started seeing dust.
I started praying and pushing and praying some more. God always calms me down when I get like this where I just see green and want to win. Passed a few novices and then realized I had caught up to Johnny McKeen. Love that guy but wanted to get a few more points. Made the pass and pushed to the Finish! was only about 3 minutes behind most of my class took 4th so all is good.

Just want to thank my sponsors who make this all happen. My wife Jeanne, Team True Racing, Tuner at TBT Racing, Panic Rev. RSI Petroleum, SLO BOY Racing, TnT Tires in Ridgecrest and Slime for keeping my tires full of Air!

But mostly I want to Thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I do not do this to win races but to win Souls. I love everyone of you and God does too. It is never to late to start a relationship with Jesus.
FEAR NOT!!!

Wow! Is one word to explain the journey yesterday. The race day started with me heading out to the bomb to get some runs in, feeling good with my line choice i headed back to our camp to go hang with Connor and Joe. After anxiously waiting for the start i finally got to head over to find I no longer had a spot on the side I wanted forcing me to squeeze 8 spots down before the banner dropped i wished all my expert buddies good luck and did a quick prayer with Brad Pace for safety and a fun ride, as my race started i had an amazing jump and I had a sweet overall spot from the end of the bomb right behind my buddy Connor as I turned right to make the pass my back tire kicked sideways and. I ate it hard. I soon caught back up to him because there was a bottleneck at a one little hill on this gnarly single track on the side of this big hill. As we both made it up that and down some more hills i came over this hill to see him stopped near this rock, I instantly pulled over and he told me he had cracked his radiator open and he was done racing he shouted, go have fun and I looked back at him with that remark of sure it's "fun" alright haha and after going down a couple more hills we came to this huge downhill and. Guys were cussing and shouting because they were falling everywhere, and he entire way down the hill I was encouraging the other riders "come on you got it" and "heck yea! This is what I payed for" multiple times to be exited for this rad hill. After that hill it was a super short flat section then back up to countless hills after hills after hills and more hills of the gnarliest rocky downhills i have ever been down... I got to this one uphill I have been down before! And was stoked to see Joe there rooting me on and also laughing his but off when I launched the bike and myself up the hill only to end up smacking myself so hard on this rock, I have never seen him laugh so hard at me jumping around in pain And after some words of encouragement I was off to complete the race, after running out of water my. Only goal was to make it to the pits and quit thats all i wanted to do, and the tease of seing the pits and having to go four more miles was the worst feeling, after getting to the pits and eating a ton of food my dads words "alright hop back on and keep going" was the worst thing to hear but I had so much urge not to be a quitter despite my physical strength. So I hopped back on the the bike and continued through the 40
More miles of all rocky hills and about no "fast and fun" spots i had been promised. My favorite spot of the race was check 7 seing my dad at the check with a reeces cup and his words "only about 20 miles left ur gonna make it" and that almost put me in tears. As I ate a reeces and the thought of finishing came in my mind I gained this super energy of excitement to finish strong. As I came to this one section I saw my buddy and me and him battled with what little energy we both had left, as I barely made the pass on him we both rocketed to the finish and the sight of trailers for the first time all race was amazing. Finishing was the greatest riding achievement of my life and I couldn't have done it without Travis at TBT, his suspension is amazing i cannot count how many times i would have ate it if I didn't have him work on it for me, Team True racing for the amazing prayers to keep me safe the whole race, SRT for the amazing parts that kept my bike in one piece for the entire race and all 5 times I dropped my bike in the rocks, and ruts and my family/ friends that pitted me and gave me inspiration to finish!
Thanks DMC

Wooo Hooo Dirt Diggers was awesome. Beautiful day and Great course. Race Day Cafe went off and we met some new folks and had a great prayer time.
The Bomb was a walk only and with my leg all gimped up I almost didn't do it but,,,I did, there was only 2 main lines for the quads the bushes were thick and lots of holes and cross grain washes in the bomb.
I lined up on the best spot Sunday morning and of course told team mate Bill Markel to line up next to me as he is in the points chase and so wanted to make sure he got a good start....
The Banner dropped and Bill got the jump on me...I couldnt stand the dust so I went hard left and got on an old trail that I know was there...It rolled me right behind the end of the bomb and into HOLE SHOT BABY!
I stayed in the lead For awhile then Mark Ornellias got around me in a Tech section that a slower rider went down and I zigged but Mark Zagged and made a great pass. Stayed in second until a road crossing made me stop and Bill and Ryan timed a perfect pass as the traffic cleared. I got Ryan back for a minute but the last month of being a couch potato caught up to me fast and I just could not stay at their pace...God is Good, had fun and cant thank Charlie at SLO BOY Racing enough for all the help and support at the pits.
Tuner of TBT has my shocks dialed in and that is awesome.

SO CAL National in two weeks See ya there Make sure you give God some time this weekend as we celebrate the Miracle of Jesus....Happy Easter...Peace]]><![CDATA[Round 3 National Hare and Hound]]>Sat, 30 Mar 2013 14:37:31 GMThttp://teamfearnot.com/race-reports/round-3-national-hare-and-houndAUSTIN KEYS
Round 3 of the National Hare and Hound race series was held in Murphy, Idaho. My dad and I hitched up on Thursday and was on our way. We drove 7 hours the first day and stopped the first night at a little hotel in Winnemucca, Nevada. My dad and I got up around 10 A.M Friday morning to finish the 14 hour journey. We drove through rain, snow and wind. Any type of weather you could of but still made the trip safely and finished up around 3 P.M on Friday. Saturday morning was a chilly one but a beautiful one. I went to to the start to find out it was treacherous. With deep grass and a deep gully in the middle, I knew it was going to be an interesting start. After that, my friends consisting of Sam Bangert, Skyler Howes, Ben Meza, Brendan Crow and Erek Kudla, headed to the local Ford Dealer for an autograph signing. After a long day of hanging out and catching up with friends, we headed to a local Wingers for some dinner and Supercross! Once that was over, I headed to bed for I knew it was going to be a long race the next day.
On Sunday I woke up bright and early to see another beautiful morning. But it was definitely a colder one. After warming up by the fire, I decided it was time to get my gear on. Once I was geared up and the bikes were loaded, we were ready to drive 10 miles North, to the start. I walked the start again to get a perfect line. By the time I got there, all the good lines were takin and I had to salvage what was there. I found a decent line and I knew it was the best one available. After the riders meeting I headed back to my bike and got ready. Around 5 minutes later the banner was up. It was as silent as it is in Church. I could feel my heart beat getting faster and faster. The banner finally dropped and we were off! My 2001 YZ 250 was a one kick wonder and I got a terrific start. Getting to the end of the bomb around 10th overall. I kept steady the first 40 miles. The dust was horrible but I knew it would settle out. The first 40 miles was fun and twisty thru tight canyons to wide open sand washes and jeep roads. I was the 11th or 12th rider that came into the pits. I filled up and went out to for the 63 mile loop. Just about 15 miles after the pits, I came into a rock section a little hot and smashed my pipe. It was a pretty good size dent and was hoping it would hold up for the remaining 63 mile loop. I kept a great pace the second loop and kept pushing. From almost hitting cows to getting a little sketchy in the deep whoops, I couldn't decide which would have been worse! I came into the alternate pit at mile 38 and filled up. I knew the pipe I was getting worse from the horrible loud sound it was making. When I hit the pipe, it broke the springs that held it on the head and it was coming off. At around mile 40, I made the pass for 2nd place and kept pushing. At the finish I was 2nd 250-A and 11th overall. For the first time Ever riding or racing out of state, I could say it was a great day! I had a great time and it was an awesome experience! Round 4 is in 3 weeks and I can't wait to race again!

Thanks to Team true Racing, TBT Racing, FMF, Dunlop, PanicRev, EKS Brand Goggles, Fasst Co., and IMS. Without you guys, none of this would be possible!
