Well another fun season of TMGP racing has come and gone. My team won the overall championship in endurance and I came home with a decent amount of hardware for sprint championships too.

We'll see you in 2025.

I just got done recording a podcast with the folks at Track Walking Podcast and had a blast. We talked about what it was like racing as a family and mentoring young racers while setting reasonable expectations. Go check them out when you have a chance and I'll let you know when my episode is going to be released in the coming weeks.

Good thing I had the rain tires mounted because it rained. This was probably my most hotly contested race with both bikes on rain tires...

One of the races with an actual battle between 2 motorcycles with rain tires mounted.

As summertime hits its stride and we bemoan racing in the heat, let's remember that sometimes it's chilly and damp!

A compilation of all the crashes we caught on video in Katy at round 2 of the 2023 TMGP season. Maybe the title should be, "Oh!!!!"
