What an Awesome way to start the year! 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!!!
