Well I just got back from the SEMA show over the weekend. I have to say it was another festive time. Me and my team pulled into Vegas about 2:00 PM on Tuesday and headed right for the Toyo Tires booth. When we got there all of the Toyo Tire models were there signing their posters and the big wigs were mingling and talking about the new tires coming out in 2009. Well as we went around the other side of their booth Supercross legend Jeremy McGrath was there signing posters of him racing in the CORR series. I had never met Jeremy in person before but since he and I both are sponsored Toyo Tire drivers I stopped over and introduced myself. I have to say he was really cool. You never know what it’s going to be like when ever you meet someone like Jeremy, but he was really a good guy.

   After we visited him for a while I went around and visited my other sponsors to make sure we were good for support for next season. While we were over at the Maxxis Tire booth talking to some friends I ran into a guy that goes by the name of Pistol Pete. His real name is Pete Sorehn. Pete is a Trophy Truck driver in the Score series. Now the trophy truck class is the top dog of all desert racing. These trucks range any where from $500,000 to $2,000,000 and can travel at speeds over 140 miles per hour across the desert. Pete’s truck was on display at the Maxxis booth. It had balls and testosterone written all over it. It was badass! Pete is kind of a funny character. He’s not your average trophy truck driver. He doesn’t come from money like most of the other racers do. He has worked his way up the ropes with being a good driver and a master at marketing himself. Pete and I are a lot alike. I didn’t come from money either. I had to work my way up the ropes the hard way too. Pete and I instantly became friends and spent the whole rest of the week hanging out together. He would teach me all he new about desert racing and I taught him about rockcrawling and rockracing. It’ll be interesting to see how he and I end up this next season because he and I will be racing against each other in the King of The hammers race. So check back next year after the KOH race to see how Pete and I fair.

Until next week, always “PUSH THE LIMITS” because life’s too short not to………...
