I was thrown into this sport almost 6 years ago when the men in life decided to start racing. Mikeydawg, my husband and also the peewee track director got both our boys into racing. We enjoy fall / winter racing the most. Justin will compete in the Mini B class, Jacob in the peewee 65 expert class, and Mike will try his luck in the over 40 C class. I enjoy watching the peewee battle on the track and taking lots of pictures. I am ready for a great season with the peewees and look forward to all the joy that the peewee's show at the awards presentations. I am a stay at home Mom plus all that goes with that job and Cub Scout leader for Jacob.

Me (Mikeydawg) and my wife Joanna (Joeydawg) grew up in Arlington, we have 2 boys and now reside in Waxahachie. My first race was with TORO in 2004. I'm living my second childhood thru my boys which have both had success since they started racing, Jacob now 10, was the 2004 JR Beginner champ now racing in the 65A class and Justin now 14, the 2006-7 65B champ, will be in the Mini B class. As a family we attended the SUPERCROSS in St Louis where Jacob raced in the KTM JR SUPERCROSS, numerous motocross races, last man standing, and a couple of freestyle events. Most of all I love anything to do with motorcycles. This will be my forth year with Toro and nothing beats racing in the wintertime.

Brian Pierce -  Track Assistant

Brian is a Louisiana native and has been in Texas since the summer of 2002. After graduating from LSU, Dallas seemed like a good stop on the way to Colorado. He has been racing and riding dirt bikes since he was 5, which his dad bought without his mothers permission. 2007 was a great year to get back in racing for Brian, as he came away with a 1st in Open B TSCEC Championship Division, Overall B TSCEC Sabine Division and Overall B TORO Championship. He is also an avid cyclist, musician, snowboarder (weather permitting) and Capri wearer. Kevin Ruckdeschell is also extremely jealous of Brian's ability to wear anything and still look sexier than him.
