He will go back to the shop, test track, and find a little more speed. His mental focus will need to improve to win again in 2023. As Chad drove home from the finals at no point did he say it was not a good season, but it was disappointing not to win. Looking inward he asked himself a lot of questions “do I still have it?” “do I still want it?” “am I as angry as I am?” with the conclusion that he still wants to race more. He was looking forward to a short relaxing time, but not this year. He needs to get to work harder since 2023 is around the corner. Preparations will start as the truck is unloaded. Chad will focus on every detail, the tires and suspension, training mind and body, and anything else he can do to win. Chad will build on his 2022 season with more testing and developing better setups and combinations for every track. The desire to win and become champion again gets stronger every day. All his thoughts about what could have been mattered not. Chad has 8 titles, but that’s not what matters.

It starts on a rain-soaked shortened track in Daytona Florida. The gate dropped and the 3-time champion took the lead with wait Kinsey Osborn a rookie in the Pro women class. They ran 1-2 in the hole race setting the tone for the year and a new rivalry. The year's battle has started. Youth grow all of the sports we watch the ATV racing industry is no different. Kinsey came out of the amateur where she was dominant riding a smaller CC machine. Moving up in class going to a 450 with a multiple-time champion leading the way in the WMX the season was meant to be a growth year setting up a pro career The transition suited Kinsey the larger CC machine felt normal instantly growing more and more comfortable every time she road. Her maiden season was a dream year winning by round 2 that’s all she needed to know the rest of the season was hers .still in high school also with her studies and basketball it’s a full load add a professional racing career on top. Being a seasoned veteran doesn’t mean that the rookies can’t come in and take over. We do not see this very often in the sporting world. This year in the WMX was a changing of the guard with the youth of the sports taking over the class. In the future, we will see the level raise and youth take this class to a new level your veterans won’t go easy.

Racing was a large part of the Meadows family household as Jackie grew up. Motorcycles did not make him happy but the day he road that first three-wheeler, his whole world changed. Racing Tri moto’s and other models until he could get on Kawaski, he went through the amateur classes with a goal to make it to the Pros.  Jackie rode the nationals and got a chance to race Mickey Thompson stadium shows even before he was old enough to get in. As the factories pulled back and the independents did their best to take over and carry the industry into the future, Jackie was doing his best to transition from a factory-backed rider to an independent. In the late 80s, Jackie and his family needed to make a big decision: leaving ATV racing and moving into Drag cars to focus on the family business. Ten to twelve years later Jackie got another chance with Kawaski, unfortunately, while this was going on Jackie's Father passed.

Drag racing Motorcycles on the street started the story when friends and riding partners advised Valerie Thompson to take her skills to the track (aka the drag strip). This brought her on the whole wind ride of her life. Riding spectacular machines on the strip in multiple different classes, ultimately led to the salt flats with new advantages, dangers, and thrills. Movies and documentaries have also played a part in her success, changing from 2 wheels to 4 wheels.The hide details to land speed racing are in the things unsaid. It’s hazardous and costs a fortune as Valerie transitions to the second half of her sporting career. Speed will always be a big part of her life and she says she can walk away anytime, but it's unsure. So if you’re looking for a little safer sport played on a court, check out pickleball; I bet you will find Valerie Thompson on the leader board.
