So now you're gay for 13 year old boys?

That kid must have gone through 50 gallons of gas last TTD. Funny as hell watching him rip around on that thing.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

Hey Gino, I'm assuming he's going to start racing at Loudon this season. If so, let him know to come find me if he's got any questions about the 125. I probably won't be able to help much, but I can point him to the more seasoned 125 riders!

Thanks for the offer Roland.

Jake will no be able to start racing until 2011. He will be 14 in September. Jeff (dad) may get some seat time on the 125 this year.

I played around with Jake at the last TTD and he netted a 1.27. Even when he is not striving to become a MC race he is in combat...... Winning

Living up to expectations and he's not even warmed up!!!!!!!!!!!

The things he is doing right now is unbelievable. Like slipping the clutch the keep the rpm's up to climb T4. Advanced technique at such an early part of racing. Insane.

The focus, the attention to details, the mindset , and the maturity this 14 year old has.

Way to roll Bud.

I smiled every time he went smoking past me. I swung by his garage briefly after he dusted me in 11 and gave him some props. He is smooooooooth and fast for sure!

Ya, Jake is a great kid. He was flying this weekend and as nice as they come. BEt he will be in AM next weekend. Look forward to racing with him soon!!
