It to bad there is any juniors on the team both Graeme and Ethan are first year pros. It's really good to see both them going but I didn't think I would be seeing ethan racing again after last season.

What do you mean? That Boy has so much drive right now to be one of USA's Top Dhers. He wants it really bad. I have been working really hard to get him the right Sponsors to help him get there.

Thats awesome to hear, he traveled to a lot of the races with me last year and he seemed unorganized and unfocused. Im glad he realized his potential. What sponsors did he end up getting for 2009.

I've been doing pretty good just got my new demo and p3. I have been training every day for a couple months now and ready to race. That giant with the durado looks sick. Is 2 wheel freaks the same team that memmalaar and yoresk are on?
