Hi my name is Keith Holmes and I race motocross in the B class. Haven't raced to much this past year because I broke my back and was going to UTI to be a diesel tech and funds were a little short. I plan I racing at loretta's and mini o's next year.

Background
I started riding/racing when I was 3 because my unlce use to race professional so thats what mainly got me into. After being very competitive in the 50cc class for about 3 years I stopped racing for a little while due to family matters. About 2 years later I got my first 85 but didn't race it because I out grew it so quick. Then came the time for a 250f but I broke my neck and back a few months after I got it. That put me out for a 2 years. Once I came back in C class I was very competitive. Now I'm in B class and try to be as competitive as possible but its extremely hard without the proper funds.
Highlights
In 2009 after I came back from my broken neck and back I worked hard and got 2nd and 3rd places in open C and 250C in one of the biggest series in the north east. I tried for loretta's and mini o's the same year but finacially it just wasn't possible for me. Since then I moved into the B class but haven't had the chance to race as much as I would like. The main reason is because I went to school at Universal Technical institute to be a mechanic so that took up most of my time and funds.
Goals
My goals for this year are just to get back into racing like I use to be before I broke my back for the second time. I would like to train really hard throughout the year and hopefully make it to Mini o's and then hopefully loretta lynn's the following year if I feel comfortable enough. Racing this year is going to be hard for me since I have to pay for everything on my on and I'm currently out of a job since the economy is so bad. But I'm going to try hard and try to do as many races as I can
