To David Barton, the biggest race he has won would be The GatorNationals. This was a significant moment to david because it was a start of a new era. In his words, “ To some people winning indie is the biggest thing, but it doesn't compare to the GatorNationals in Florida, because it was the beginning of a new era of muscle cars.” This accomplishment was achieved from experience at Ray Barton Racing engines. In other words, by working in his dad's business. Racing has always been what David does. It’s what he grew up around. David has done this job full time since 16 or 17. This job was also his father's, Ray Barton.

Turns; it’s where races are won and lost in the sport of motocross. I grew up racing competitive motocross from age five to eighteen. It was, and is something I will love and hold dear to my heart forever. Though my achievements and progression as a motocross racer did not always come easy. It is often said that the sport is as much mental as it is physical. For me, once racing became serious, the mental capacity for taking turns quickly and effectively became quite the challenge. It was hard for me to understand the proper mechanics of how to approach, execute, and exit rough and rutted turns as fast as my competitors. This was always the most challenging aspect of the

A wise person once said, “If I tell you I need you, do not take it lightly. I do everything I can to never depend on anyone, to never show weakness, and if I say that I need you, it means that I am trusting you to catch me when I fall.” For many years my friends have never been there to catch me when I fall. I never knew what a true friend was until I met my horse. She always helps me through my ups and downs. Sometimes she lets me fall, but only when she has a very good reason! This year I will be the best barrel racer that Kansas has ever seen in history, smart, brave, and strong. .

“What are you doing next weekend?” “Going to a rodeo.” “Oh... what about the next weekend?” “I have another rodeo.” I guess you could say that rodeo is kind of a big deal for me. That I’m a “Rodeo Nerd.” Whether it’s being in them, or just watching them. I love rodeos. I have many reasons to love them! Like for example, rodeos are always a ton of fun, you're always meeting new people from all kinds of places, and last but not least the cowboys!

After seeing “the Fast and the Furious” many people have or wanted to become involved in street racing. They do not realize that this is a sport that takes knowledge, hard work, and nerve. Many of these racers have spent their lives under a car, learning the trade and improving upon it. As I have learned, this is not just a hobby; it is a way of life.
