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 9, was the 2004 JR Beginner champ now racing in the 65B class and Justin now 13, the 2006-7 65B champ, will be working on his speed in the Mini C 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.
