I'll tell my buddy Gus that.

He hasn't been on the street since his first race.

He won 3 Regional and 3 National Amateur titles in his first year.

Now in his 2nd year, he is a constant podium finisher (Expert) with a handful of wins against local track-record holders and a few AMA riders.

You can expect to see him on an AMA grid in the next year or two.

He started on an R1.
