Racing Resume
Sponsorship Request

I am a current active member of AHRMA (American Historical Racing Motorcycle Association) and CMRA (Central Motorcycle Racing Association). Last year I campaigned a 1979 Triumph T-140 Bonneville in both organizations. I am originally from Eureka Springs, Arkansas. I have been working as a motorcycle mechanic in Dallas, Texas at RPM Cycle for the past 3 years. I participated in local track days for 2 years before deciding to go roadracing. Last year was my rookie racing season. I started in 9 races with no DNF’s, which are good results considering it was my first year. I had two 1st place and three 2nd place finishes.

I am soliciting sponsorship and support for the upcoming 2008 racing season. I plan to attend 14 AHRMA races and pursue the #1 plate in the 750 Sportsman class. RPM Cycle was recently sold and Keith Martin, the owner, has started a new vintage motorcycle shop by resurrecting the famous Big D Cycle name. Big D Cycle has already agreed to be one of my sponsors. I am seeking monetary and parts/equipment sponsorship. I will display sponsor decals on the bike as well as promote their business/organization at each race. AHRMA runs a nationwide schedule which will provide sponsor exposure across a broad area of the USA. Below are the specifications of my racer along with my 9 finish results for the 2007 season.
