It was Wednesday and my boy David Smith dropped by the Gorilla Axle shop to get the NOS bottles on a race unit filled. David mentioned that we should really "wreck shop" and hit two race events in one day. Wreck shop is a term David often uses when he wants to race and completely dominate the other teams. I laughed but then the wheels began turning on how we could make it happen. These events were in different states, 409 miles apart, one race in Texas, the other in Mississippi. David and I hashed out a plan and so it began; Operation Wreck Shop 2007 was in motion.

I guess my Road Trip would have to take place on the road that led me toward winning the 2001 250-B Grand National Championship. I won't bore you too much with the details of the season itself, instead just hitting the highlights.

If you've read about our Yamaha Raptor 250 MX build in the October issue of ATV Rider Magazine, then you'll for sure not want to miss out on the added video bonus! What can we say; it actually left a handful of 450's in the dust on its race debut. If you've not read about it in our October issue, be sure to pick it up. You won't be disappointed.
