2014 Final Tally

The 2014 WERA Grand National Finals are soon over.  I prepare to make the drive to VA from AL with one more motorcycle and one more championship trophy than I arrived with, also leaving with a little less skin on my elbow, but I can live with that.

Mid-Atlantic Region:

Clubman Novice 1st place
D Superbike Novice 1st place
V5 4th place,
V6 Lightweight 2nd place

North Central Region:

D Superbike Novice 1st place

National:

1st place Clubman Novice

Not a bad comeback season for a 1974 vintage rider on a 1990 vintage motorcycle.  Only one crash and no mechanical problems from the Kawasaki EX500 all season.  I am left with an overwhelming sense of gratitude at being able to participate in such a sport and to those that helped me do so over the years.  I have said it before and will probably say it again, but without those special people I would have ended up broke, broken or dead.  As a result of their wisdom, assistance and patience, I have learned what it truly means to work for and cultivate a dream.  I hope to continue 'chasing speed' for many years to come.  Thank you.
