As the 2015 Season comes to
an end, we are sad and happy for a little break. I’m not sure how much of a
break as many of my riders will continue racing local series, out of the
country series and I will be dialing in my quads for next season, which is also
my retirement year.
We very proud of Kirkland
Jack, of New Port Richey, Florida after holding on to the points lead in the
450B class. Kirkland had 8 podiums in this class and 4 overall wins. He ended
up getting 2nd in both motos, resulting in a podium 2nd
at Loretta’s this past weekend. Kirkland ended up 3rd overall in the
Production B class, with 3 podiums in this class throughout the season and 1
overall win. Kirkland ended up 4th overall this weekend in the
Production B class.
Vital Cazenave, of Argentina
finished his 1st full year in the AMA ATV Pro class. He ended up 8th
overall in points. Vital ended up
getting 12th overall in the Pro class this past weekend at
Loretta’s. Vital ended up 6th
overall in points the Pro Am class for 2015. He ended up getting 5th
overall this weekend in that class. Vital plans to go home to Argentina and
take some time off before getting ready for the big beach race in February,
also known as EDV.
Jace Johnson, of Junction
City, Oregon got a little taste of the heat and humidity that Loretta’s is
known for. Although he didn’t have the
results he was hoping for, he now has something to aspire and train for. Coming
from Oregon where the weather is so much different, Jace’s biggest battle will
be getting used to the wet, muggy weather conditions. His family hopes to have Jace attend all the
races in 2016 in the AMA ATV Nationals, under the wing of Joe Byrd. Jace currently races the Quadcross NW series
where he is 2nd in points for both the Pro-Am and Pro class. Jace is only 4
points behind the leader in Pro-Am and 8 points behind in the Pro class. It’s
going to be a fun and interesting last round at Washougal, Washington on
September 12th and 13th, where they will have a double
header for points, and the Championship will be given out.
Joe Byrd didn’t have the
weekend he was wanting, after his motor not being up to par and not enough time
to get another one put together, Joe put in his 3 year old detuned motor that
he took out of his practice quad. With
Loretta’s being so close to his house and it being the last race of the year,
he had no other choice but to go and make the best out of a bad situation. To
our surprise in Moto 2, Joe was able to pull out a holeshot in the Pro Moto 2.
Joe will be making a lot of changes for his retirement year in 2016. We would
like to thank all our sponsors over the last 30 years. If you would like to
contact Joe for lessons, please do so at joebyrdschool@hotmail.com, he travels all over for schools. Also keep in mind
that although Joe isn’t on the top of the podium, this year, he is still a very
sought after teacher and the original Quad teacher. Just because a racer is the
current Champion or top racer, doesn’t mean they know how to teach skills to
you or your children.
