 Mitch is a veteran racer who has been on “hiatus” for many years and is now back in the game racing an ’08 Honda CBR1000rr on the new Michelin, Power One, motorcycle racing tires. Mitch is racing as a Novice this year, but is leading in the points in the Formula 40 class. This is not an average class, it is actually a very competitive class as many of the riders are similar to Mitch in that they used to race and are now, “back in the game”.
Mitch hails from Oklahoma and runs a successful business as a commercial painter. Mitch understands the dedication and discipline required to win and much of his success in racing is a reflection of Mitch, himself. What’s also great to know about Mitch is that he brings his family with him to the racetrack including his son, Sean, and his girlfriend, Beverly.

 Texas World Speedway is one of those tracks that riders just love. It'sfast as the circuit is just under 3.0 miles and it allows the big bikes to really stretch their legs. This makes for some exciting racing!
We weren't disappointed this weekend as Ty Howard rolled out his trick KTM RC8-R and crushed the old track record that was set a few years ago by Dane Westby, who finished 2nd in this years Daytona 200.

 Eagles Canyon Raceway was a well attended event for the CMRA. The weather was a bit better than the last time we were here, but the winds were still blowing pretty strong. Nonetheless, the riders were able to still put on a great performance.
One of the interesting races this weekend was the 12 hour mini endurance! Think about that; riding your little XR for 12 hours. We all wondered how many motors would burn up during this race; apparently, quite few did.
