Traveling and Diving in Roatan, Honduras
After a couple nights in Esteli, Honduras I was headed for the border. Once in Honduras I took a bus first from El Paraiso and then from there to Tegucigalpa. I heard Tegucigalpa didn’t have much to offer so I boarded one more bus to Comayagua. I learned quickly that Honduras …
El Castillo, Solentiname, Matagalpa, Esteli – Nicaragua
I’m not really in the mood to write too many details, but I’ll brief my travels for the last few weeks. After Ometepe island in Nicaragua I caught a ferry to San Carlos at the southeast corner of Lake Nicaragua. From there I took a lancha (kind of like a bus on …
Lago Nicaragua island hopping
I´ve been making fairly quick work of Nicaragua, relative to my time in Costa Rica. After Granada I and some new friends went to where the revolution began, in Leon. The best part about Leon is learning the history, and if not for the museums and galleries it wouldn´t seem …
Granada & Lago de Apoyo, Nicaragua
After my friend was back in our possession I remained in Buenos Aires for a bit, finishing off the transfer of ownership on the motorcycle. Once complete I would head north for Nicaragua (after delivering Jacob’s bike back to him in Limon…his XT250, not the KLR I bought off him). I’m …
![One more race in the books and another win! We started in front and ran clean all day aside from when I hammered the car over some cross grain that bent a rear wheel and shredded the tube. Fortunately it happened at about RM31 [of 48] on lap 2 which was conveniently located approximately 1 mile from our main pit.
While I was in for the tire change we decided to save another stop and do the fuel + navigator change as well, so out went Cole and in came my brother. Despite the stop our lead continued to grow due to attrition in the field so I backed way out for the final lap to save the car and ourselves (though it’s debatable whether slower is better in a 9 car).
All things considered it was a great race and puts me on track for my goal this year of a championship. Beyond the class, @kavemanmotorsports's 1600 result puts team Run JMC in 2nd for the team challenge! Of course there’s still more racing ahead of us than behind us this year, but we’re sitting in a great place right now.
I'm currently writing this sitting in my RV at @willow_springs_raceway getting ready for one more weekend of racing with @raceluckydog - after which I'll have a break until the July @mojaveoffroad race at @glenhelenraceway
Thank you to the incredible @amanda_joe who has been the most patient and tolerant partner I could have asked for. The Spring race-athon is nearly over I promise!
Many thanks to @coleeroleepolee and @wisdomracer for your help before, during and after the race. Thank you @briano_133 for letting me borrow your tire and even doing the install for me! Thank you to my crew for being there for me: my uncle Scott, grandpa Wes, @_nikk_at_night_ , @scottboyd1615 & Bryan
Thank you to the team @endosemolds and @sistersativa for everything you do. Finally to the companies which support our sport and my racing: @dfttrans @mohrprf @yokohamatire @weddleindustries @dcshockservices @fluid_flow_performance @pciraceradios @mckenzies_performance @kartek_off_road @autometerproducts @transaxleengineering @vinyldisorder
