Roadracing & Endurance
I started track days in 2022 and never looked back. Now I race motorcycles across the Pacific Northwest and cross-train everything I can: enduro, flat track, mini moto, and trials. Racing keeps me honest, and everything I learn on the grid goes straight back to the riders I coach.
Tri City Kart Club · Spiva Racing Team · Honda CRF150R #711
Seven riders, 24 hours and 1,485 laps on the 150R, four weeks after my Cascadia crash. Three crashes, mine included, and a fork cartridge that came unscrewed, and the bike kept running to the flag. P3 in Open Mini, 28 laps ahead of Subversive, who won the 12-hour.

My first ride since the Cascadia crash, and my first time on my own Desmo450 at Mac. The 150R would not start for either mini race. On the Desmo I started both races from the back on purpose and came through to 3rd and 2nd.

4 starts · 2 podiums · 2 wins
Two days off a crash at The Ridge and into a Saturday monsoon, I rode within myself: both Novice 1000 class wins, two P4s in Open Amateur, and no further crashes. The pace built to a 1:14.8 by Sunday, and off the bike I spent the weekend coaching Aaron and showing Sidney the ropes of a race weekend.

Tri City Kart Club · Spiva Racing Team · Honda CRF150R #711
Twelve hours, 721 laps, and 16.6 seconds between us and the win. With an all-new team of Kyle Nesbitt, Dustin Walbon, Brandon Hope, Jay Braillard, and Kevin McPhetridge, a kick-start that fought us on restarts and a mid-race crash put us about four minutes down, then we clawed it back at roughly a second a lap to finish P2 by a hair.

4 starts · 3 podiums · 3 wins
Three more overall wins, plus the OMRRA Novice 1000 season opener off the same grids. The streak finally ended in R19: a great fight for the lead and a new personal best (1:13.4, quicker than my Friday SuperPole pace), then a jump-start penalty knocked a P2 back to P5.
