Ironwood, MI

Better late than never right?

Garth raced in Ironwood, MI the weekend of December 12-14. It was a crazy track-lots of riders were injured. Some severely. Sadly, a fellow pro racer-Mike Schultz-broke his leg so badly that it had to be amputated right above the knee. It was pretty scary to say the least. Garth's goal for that weekend was to ride safely and make it out with no broken bones, or worse...

Results:

Pro Open: 4th

Pro Super Stock: 13th (his spark plug cap came off so he was only running on one piston)
Here he is with Rory Beckman, his mechanic. They make a great team! We are so lucky to have him back with us this season. Rory has been his mechanic since the first year Garth raced the national circuit except for last year.

Horray for NO broken bones!!!! That is so scary.
Behind every great racer is a great mechanic - how great is that?!!
Keep up the good work. Hope you are having fun too!
