I had an amazing weekend in Houston, finishing P4, P2, and P6! I got my first Pro podium on Saturday after missing the podium by about an inch on Friday. Additionally, I got to lead the main on Saturday and get my first holeshot award! Sunday’s race was wild and scrappy, but it felt great to be battling near the front each day!

Cash Matthews: Like most, we made lots of cool 2-stroke motorcycle sounds with our mouths!! As our group of friends who rode progressed, we started riding “flat track” style in a circle. We emulated Kenny Roberts and my Uncle, Jerry Matthews who were all accomplished Flat Track Stars. I conned my uncle out of a number plate from his motorcycle so that was the first cool-mod of the Schwinn. As many Flat Track guys, we added cardboard, grip covers to save us from rocks and things that never really mattered but they looked cool.

The trails are on private property so if you want to come, send me a DM for the address!
