First of all, may the year 2007 be a fun and wonder-filled year for all of you and may you all be healthy and living life fully, in both, beauties and duties! I had the opportunity to end 06' on a good note and did so. I, along with the rest of the crew (Randy, Toni, Kent, Tracy, Lennie, Billie, and my dad Daniel), went to Glen Helen on New Year's Eve for the Pro/Am Championships held there once a year. It was a beautiful day and also the best way for all of us to say goodbye and move on to a new year. I am, by the way, very excited about this upcoming year and can not wait to see what kind of wonders it is going to bring, as I am certain it will bring abundance and more beauties to the lives of the ones who will allow it to do so. So, let us pray that everything that is going to happen, will happen for good reasons, and let us enjoy ourselves completely.
We got to the Glen Helen Race Track really early in the morning as practice started at 730am. The track was great and very well prepared, as it always is over there anyway and I was genuinely enjoying myself. In the first race, I started off in second position before taking the lead to Pugmire. After a couple of laps, he passed me, I passed him back, and we battled for a little while before he took over and left winning the race. I know that if I had had a better physical condition, I could have held on to the lead to the checkered flag; I ended second, while Jeff Loop third. I took the holeshot in the second moto and lead until a lap to go. Again, I had to give the lead up as I could hardly hold on to the bike, but I am satisfied with it for right now. And as Lennie Combs would say: "There only one story that's shorter than second place, which in the end is not too bad anyway." Ah! I have until the 14th of January to get some more fitness back, and I am looking forward to competing in all of the six CMC rounds and hope to do good in the series. I will keep you all updated!
That being said, I have to be thankful for all the support I have had in 06' and I want to thank everybody that has helped me thus far in my life. I could not be any happier and I am infinitely thankful to be here today, writing these lines, and sharing some more of my life with you now. Without my parents, my close friends and sponsors, whom I will dedicate an entry on this blog very soon, none of that would have ever been possible. Indeed, it is very comforting to know that not only I am driven to be successful for myself, but also for the love that so many people have sent my direction over the years. It is wonderful to know that we are not alone, and it is even more amazing to understand the necessities of us all fighting together for the greater good of human beings; that again leading towards different things I should not be discussing here. Anyway, thank you everyone for the breathtaking support and help you have provided me with in 2006, and know that 07' will be even more emotionally elevating.
