Just one day away from the promoter practice at the Evergreen Speedway and round one race of the XTRM/ AMA Supermoto Championship. I have been staying with my cousin and her husband and there 2 sons since Tuesday in Seattle. It has been a great time getting to see the city and seeing my family, and gettting ready for this weekend. Yesterday I got to hit some local bike trails which was awesome, the soil here is so much different from back home...
Tomorrow morning I will be leaving to head to the track which is only 20 miles from where I am staying. We have a promoter practice from 11-2pm and then race day is Saturday... To follow the progress of the weekend go to the AMA Supermoto website www.amasupermoto.com or I think Dennis Anderson from www.supermotoonline.com will be posting photos and results right after each practice heat and final!!!!
Hope to write back with some good news! Thanks to everyone that has helped me get to this point, I really need to thank my parents for this trip and everything they have done to get me here. Also a big thanks to my cousin and her family for the few days at there house and the tour around the seattle area.
And all ways all the sponsors and supporters!

First off I would like to say sorry for taking so long to up date my site. Its been a crazy couple of months getting prepared for the 2008 XTRM/AMA Supermoto Series and the Summer X Games event August 2-3..
Only a week away from the day I plan to head west. Its just going to be my new mechanic Scott and myself driving to Washington state for the First round! I am excited to get this season started as I have been working many hours to get everything ready.
Putting this program together hasnt been easy its been alot of long days and nights, but I couldnt have done it without everyone that has stepped up and supported me this season, from Bryan Peckinpaugh (owner of the team) and all his work, to all the sponsors that stepped up with free and discounted products and time. But I also cant forget my friends and family that have been there, my parents, Tom Mcgrane SR, and many others...
I am looking forward to this season, a fresh new start, a new beginning, and step into the the future. There has been alot going on with the series, but Gavin trippe SR/JR and XTRM have been working so hard to get everything in the right direction not only for this year but many years to come. Supermoto will grow to be a supercross or superbike series if not better in the next few years... Some people dont remember that Supercross and Superbike have alot more years on Supermoto...
