Hey all,
Just wanted to say Howdy and introduce myself.
I have lived outside Eddy since 1994.
Retired from the Army last May after 24 yrs of service.
Raced motocross a long time ago (20+ years), mostly in Southern Cal, and Wyoming. But other than riding my cousins 04 YZ 250 about 1 1/2 years ago, haven't been on a dirt bike since then.
Had many bikes, my last one being an 81 490 Maico.
I am currently in Iraq (new equipment fielding), but come home for leave 01JUN08.
I have decided that I want to get back into racing, so I bought another bike and slowly aquiring my gear (lots of options out there now!)
Being a Euro Bike and 2 Stroke nut, the first place I looked was KTM.
Luck would have it, Chip had a used 06 250SX, which with the help of my wife, I now own. Sad thing is I haven't even seen it yet, little loan ride it, but that will change in about two weeks!
I also found a 82 MAICO 490 that I will restore for EVO type racing, once I get back for good.
Searching the internet on all things related to Motocross, I found the MX scene seems to be alive and well in Texas.
Started looking for track information, found this site, and here I am.
One of the things I am going to do is stop by and see Chip and thank him for helping me and my wife out. Great guy in my book!
Next (once I get some time in the saddle) I would like to visit your track and see how things are there.
Well, that's about it. Looking forward to getting back into racing, meeting great people and living the life again!
Thanks.
Jimmy
