2006:

At the early age of 6, Hunter knew he wanted to race and saved his money to buy his first Go Kart.  After practicing a few times, he finally got to race.  His first race, not only did he win, but he lapped the entire field.  By July 2006, he showed such potential; we bought him a Quarter Midget.  The first race, he placed 2nd.  During that season he had sever heat race wind and main event winds.  His major feat that season was breaking the track record at AQMA, and winning the AQMA's fastest qualifier for the year.

 

2007:

Hunter did so well his first season he was moved up to Jr. Honda class.  The season started at the Vallejo, indoor track.  The first race Hunter came from the back of the pack to win.  We then bought another Quarter Midget so he could run both the Jr. Honda and the Jr. Stock classes.  The second race of the season Hunter won the main event.  By the end of the 2007 season, not only did he end with several wins and lost of top 3 finishes, but he finished 2nd overall in the Region 10 points and won the JR ROOKIE OF THE YEAR for Region 10.
