I didn't make it. I hit some dumb ass that came flying into the track from the sideline and had no back brakes. No excuses though I just wasn't good enough today. I am really bummed because I know I had the speed and I really let myself down. Enjoy watching the races live! I think I missed it by 4 seconds. I was 58th

Atleast you had the balls to try unlike the other privateers out their. Hopefully you will be able try again at another track. Let that leg heal up good and then come back and show em how its done.
-
better to have tried and not made than never get to try at all
-
Chin up Watson, I proud you were there to represent!!!!!
-
Don't be down on yourself man. You tried and had just some bad luck. I wish I could say I at least I tried when I was younger, so good for you!
-
Perseverance. At least you keep persevering. It'll happen! Definitely proud of you representing! Good job!
-
Thanks guys!!! Found out from an inside source that there were 7 or so people cutting the track in my practice. Still wouldn't have made the main but woulda been a lot closer!!
-
You should be proud,you tryed and thats way more than alot of other ppl can say and im sure everyone here will say the same......way to represent,theres always a next time so keep on keepin on brother everyone here is behind you ;D
-
Haha they are still cutting ?! I was there when I was ten wondering why they were skipping whole sections! The spectators would open up a barrier so they could get through

Sounds like you got close Watson. With all the work involved with the bikes, gear, and getting your body right to race. You should be proud , you have the spirit, and your lifes alive. Chances are you made an impression on people, most want to here the 2-strokes. I just talked to a pal friday, he went to Millville, he said there was a guy that almost made it in on a cr125, a local cat I,m sure. He said it sure was nice to here a 2-st., he said the guy was flying, his boys raced the expert class, he goes to 2 nationals every year. I asked him what brand 125 and he thought it was a cr125, he was a blur, I guess, very hot and humid.

Ya I had people screamin all the way around the track and my wife and mom said the announcers were talkin about me more than the guys running the fastest laps so that was pretty cool. Plus there were tons of people in our pits l day and lots of media people too. It was fun just bummed. And ya they are still cutting. There were a few guys that made it that were consistantly a couple seconds a lap slower than me and then one random lap they were 8 seconds faster. Later in the day someone told me they were cutting the track in 3 places. O well tho
-
Can't say anymore than whats been said. Thanks for carrying the torch. Takes big brass ones to do what you have tried and will accomplish n the near future. Hope to see you at Pala.
-
Devin, I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I appreciate that you devoted so much time, energy and money to represent the two-stroke.
Must of been cool to see and hear all the folks cheering for you!!
You'll do it...

Congrats Watson.The joys of being honest and not cutting the track.I've never been sure why people cheat as they realize they don't deserve the result they got nor had the ability to do it honestly.Good for you for being straight up.There's too little of that these days.Bikes look sweeeeet btw.I can't wait to see you on TV-soon. 8)

Your welcome john and everyone...... Finding this site made me want to get out there on the 2-stroke. I really wish I could do more rounds because I know I can make the mains, hell I did it on a 4-stroke lol! It was awesome to see everyone cheering and yelling. There were people lookin at the bikes non stop and i even had a couple guys come find me because they saw the feature story on here and wanted to meet me!
I am hoping to do Pala and then I think I am gonna scale back the race thing next year and my wife and I are gonna try to start an industry related business and pay off as much as debt as possible so we can do the whole series in 2012. I will be 27 by then but hey age is only a number right? Thanks again everyone!

Dude, you'll be primetime for the nationals at 27. Keep at it.

I just wanted to tell you Watson that you are a GREAT inspiration & we all have alot of respect for you for running your awesome YZ-250 2-stroke against the 450 4-chokes !!
Also I just wanted to tell you that when I was 28yrs. old I felt like I was in the best shape in my life..! So you don't have to worry about turning 27 in 2012 because I truly beleive that you will do better than ever when you turn 27yrs. old!
