Ok Ok sorry for the wait!!

How are you guys doing …? Ok, so I was so happy to see such a huge crowd this weekend, sign ups were packed, and it was awesome seeing so many familiar faces. I just want to thank all you guys for coming out. It was an awesome race weekend, we had so much fun and the weather was chilly. but great riding weather!! Any who, were do I begin? I mean, I can only write so much because Seminole always knows how to hold an amazing and flawless race, and this weekend proved it once again. No track difficulties and it ran awesome!

Now to make a long story short, we had a lot of fun and safe racing this weekend. We had some familiar faces and then we had some we had never seen before, but we’re always welcoming new people to STMX. Practice was held on Saturday and like I said earlier the weather was unbelievable. The track was in perfect condition thanks too Greg Barker and his crew. But I’m not going to lie, towards the end it got a little rough, to rough for me to hang on anymore (I’m a SQUID)! I can’t handle that (giggles) just kidding. I almost forgot, one of our good friends, Taylor Franklin #511, had a little bit of a “crash and burn”, sort of Superman style. He got the wind knocked out of him and some chest pains. So he was out for the weekend, but he was up and walking around, driving the golf cart, playing video games, and I believe he even got a new painted helmet that you can check out on DZP’s BLOG, designed and painted by our very own Neilski, so I think that made his weekend.

All in all, it was a beautiful day and the crowd was nice and the practicing went smooth. Now later on that night the temperature dropped, I was wearing a jacket along with everyone else. There wasn’t much that we did but go to dinner and come back and relax and prepare for a long day of racing. We also watched the football game and hung around the fire that the Franklin’s held at their pit. It was really nice….

As you all know, we had a time change so that definitely screwed us all up. I went to bed thinking it was 11 and woke up thinking it was 8, yea I lied to myself it was really 10 and 7 (giggles). It was too early in the morning for me. But I guess the smell of Shelley’s bacon woke us all up ha-ha. Anyways practice went great in the morning until one of my good friends Kelli #512 on a Honda, got ran over during practice in the 125 class and broke her leg in 3 places. She ended up getting surgery on it that day and sent me a text message of her cast. (that poor thing). But we were all by her side and praying for her all day. The good news is, she’s back on DZP’s shout box and typing away…

Now for racing it was great! Brad Bollmann came out on top in all his classes along side Max Rash and Corey Fink, with Billy Rinehold coming in 2nds all day long, and Joey Keel did great as well and same with Kody Goss! With little Dylan Rash and Skylar Demuth and Rambler going at it in the 65 class that was a show to watch. Seminole’s awesome announcer Seth made things so much better, almost like a movie. As for the women’s classes I Alyssa, won the 1st moto with Patty Whitehouse coming in 2nd and Melissa Jones rounding out podium position. I would have to say all day everyone was ripping … I had a blast watching, and great news Mitch Jerome wanted me to add, that he finally moved up to B class yay!!! He did great for his first race in the lites class. Also if you haven’t noticed a new name walking around or maybe a whole bunch of people wearing a shirt that might say D.F.B (Dem Florida Boyz)? Yea that’s a new crew my brother Brad Bollmann started to shed light across all of the Florida’s talent to those boys who are representing. He has a website now DemFloridaBoyz.com. Click the link and SIGN-UP!! I will be doing tons of interviews and stories on all the members. You can buy t-shirts, and stickers to put on your helmet! It’s awesome, so go buy your t-shirt and start representing all of Florida’s motocross riders.

Any who I think I am going to wrap this one up I had a blast this weekend but this will be my last article until after the Winter Olympics (Mini 0s), and when I come back I will be sure to tell you guys all about it. But try making it.. it’s a great experience. Well y’all have a great Thanksgiving and make sure you eat a lot haha. Have a great holiday guys and be safe. See y’all at the races!! BYE
