Do you have any other toys or hobbies outside of riding and racing? I’d like to, but don’t have time.
Favorite track: GNCC-now Morganton,NC, used to be Hard Rock and Wilderness.
CRA-Used to be Broken spokes and Lightning, but lightning is so abused that I don’t have a favorite anymore, I go for the seat time and socialize.
Things you do to make sure race day goes as planned (during the week)? PM the bikes, and work out my body
How do you feel about your skills? Never the fastest, but I try to make smart decisions.
What’s you favorite mod that you have done to your quad? I would say GTThunder suspension package, but that is second to Yamaha coming out with a quad that I could just go race, and not spend every night in the garage working on like my 250Rs.
If gas prices wasn’t an issue, where would you like to take your quad to race or ride? I have been all over the east coast, and south, it would be fun to head to the west coast.
What would your dream machine be other than your current ride? For some reason I want a Goldwing.
What do you hate about your current quad? I’m nice to them, but they still eject me every so often.


Thank you for your time Dave.
