I rode Hare Scrambles and enduros for 20+ years. Did most of the AMA National Enduros from '78 through '91. Did AMA District 10. 11. and 15 hare scrambles and enduros along with Great Lakes Enduro Series. Did a few "6-days" qualifiers, made club teams there 4 different times. (Never quite good enough for trophy team) In 2 different seasons, I rode a few flat track events just for schiddts 'n' giggles. Did one season on an XR600 Honda and second try on a KX500 Kawasaki. I never was a threat to win, but learning to slide a bike through a slick corner helped my overall ability in other disciplines.
I never was injured seriously. A few bumps and bruises along the way. I made friendships all over the country that would have never been without racing. I had the opportunity to travel. Learned a lot about myself along the way too.
I had to quit racing at age 42 after a serious auto accident left my right shoulder in a mess. I miss the sport a lot. Miss the PEOPLE even more. Racing is NOT for everyone. You have to throw caution to the wind but not be reckless. There's a fine line there that can keep you from being any good, OR, get you hurt. Racing can be a family sport, but can take away from family just as easily. You need to understand your priorities.
