Stephens Motorsports headed north this past weekend to US 131 Motorsports Park in Martin, MI for stop no.3 on the AMA Dragbike Championship Series the "Spring Nationals".  After winning in Atlanta I was is 2nd place in Street E.T. points and I was hoping for another great weekend! The weekend started out pretty good on Saturday morning as I qualified 9th in the Street Fighter class. First round of Street E.T. race 1 I was out on my opponent by a couple of bikes at the 1000ft mark so I rapped the throttle a couple times to keep from breaking out and allowed my opponent to catch me and beat me to the stripe by 21 thousands! Sometimes a rider will make a silly mistake and this one was for real a silly one! At that point all I could do was hope for Sunday to be a better day. Sunday morning was looking to be a good one and I slid through first round of both classes with a victory! I managed to keep both bikes in the race until the quarter finals where I was against Andy Baumback in Street Fighter. Andy is known for his great reaction times and is always one of the toughest racers to beat. Just as the tree activated my bike nugged me through the lights and turned on the red bulb and gave Andy the win. I came back to the lanes got on the other bike where I was paired up with my long time friend Daniel Adkins in Street E.T. It was a close race but Daniel caught me right at the finish for the win. Although I didn't win the race I gained some valuable points and actually gained 8 points positions in Street Fighter on the ZX10! Our next AMA Race is in Montgomery AL. on June 12-13 and we are having issues with funding for our race team. I am working 7 days a week to try to fund these races but each race is a minimum of $800-$1000 and it is getting extremely hard for me to do. If there is anything that any of you can do to help out it would mean the world to me and Kim. I know times are hard on your end also and you are doing great things already to help us out and that's part of the reason I hate to miss races and let you down. If any of you know any one or any company that could support us with help on the entry fees, fuel, or lodging for these pro races please help me get in touch with them. Kim and I have a passion for this sport and it kills our souls to think that we are gonna have to start missing races. I know there is someone out there that needs advertising for their product, as well as a great tax deduction and what better investment than helping an up and coming simi pro racing team that would rather race than sleep! Once again each and every one of you mean the world to us and I am proud to represent you. I'm so sorry to sound like a beggar but I love this sport that much.
