This is your shop. What? This is your shop. All the cars, yes, yes, I'm obsessed with shops and we're currently building one. Okay, and I'm in love already with your shop. Alright, guys, how are you George?
Speaker 3:There you go. Did you see the shop?
Speaker 4:I did. Yeah, that's my dream right there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's a work in progress, but we're getting there. So I wanted to start off with you have a long history of racing and just talk about like your goal in the end and, what's more, like one more thing you want to add to like the list of accomplishments that you have.
Speaker 4:Well, yeah, I have to say I pretty much have like a list right in a way. I've kind of made one over the years and things always change, you always evolve, you always need to act and things kind of opportunities pop up, so you end up going in different directions than you originally set out for. But the one thing at the top of my bucket list has always been Dakar, okay, and this year, from 2015, I've been trying to make it happen and this year I'm finally like you know what? Nothing's stopping me. I'm going if I get the supporter or if I don't, yeah, and I put that in my head and I put my focus on and that's exactly what I've set out to do. And it's just kind of crazy, when your heart's in the right place and you really set your mind to something, to watch it unfold and actually happen is just incredible.
Speaker 2:Yeah that's pretty cool.
Speaker 3:Actually I have a question for Sarah, like going on that same thing so you kind of mentioned it like you have to be very flexible and very like. When you're, like when you go fulfill your dreams, you have to like ride this wave right, and sometimes the wave changes directions and you have to be able to adapt to those things. I think, first of all, that's very cool that you're doing that, because that's a difficult thing for people to do. Most of the time they just want to follow the path right. But what does it take to do that? Do you like go a little bit back, backtrack a little bit? Like do you have a vision board, do you have a dreams, do you have a list? And then you follow that and then just make those adjustments as they come?
Speaker 4:Yeah, actually I just shared it with my good friend, cynthia yesterday I was looking at my goals list. So I have my mental coaches and you know, through my whole career I've had personal trainers, and motorcross obviously and all that stuff. So I've had a lot of guidance where I've picked and like, taken things from certain people like that I really liked and kind of came up with what works for me. And now I actually do write it down and I just shared it with Cynthia yesterday my two years ago goals and it's quite crazy like to see someone that I did already achieve and I always put it in short term, midterm and long term goals. But I always know that kind of everything goes in the revolving circle and so as long as I'm racing, I think it always is helping your goals.
Speaker 4:If racing is your end dream, it's something in racing as you're entering, like that car right. So anything I've done up to this point it was kind of like oh, I know this is getting me at least one step closer. Like, for instance, extremee I'm doing Extremee in racing worldwide while I'm meeting these people that could possibly get me closer to that car right. So it's like you take this opportunity and make the most out of it. But then you always have that in the back of your head kind of like, well, my end goal, like eventually, years down the road, I want to go there. And then it just kind of crazy, like when you think it, when you put it out there, it just kind of starts to happen.
Speaker 3:Yeah, totally. And then, like one thing that my dad taught me I think I may have actually said this to you before, sarah, but is eating the elephant one by the time, right, like you can't eat a whole elephant, they're massive, but you can definitely start chipping away at it, and that, I feel like, is one of the best pieces of advice that you pretty much were leaning on just right there, and it's saying it in a different way. Yeah 100%.
Speaker 4:And you know, one thing that I've struggled with, which is, I think a lot of people who are racers, especially in rural ADD brain out. We want to do it all and it's so hard to say no right. And this year and last year, I would have to say, was the toughest years for me to learn that, because I really wanted to focus and make this, that car dream, happen, and so I've turned down a lot of things in order to make that happen and focus on that 100%. But then it's crazy because the moment you focus on it, like things happen like I've never focused 100% on UTV racing until this year and then we go out there, get with all sup and it's just like absolutely killing it anywhere we go and it's just so cool to see because it's like not only is it the vibe tie, you have good people around you, but the results show when you're in the right spot and that's exactly what's setting us up to be able to take on that car and you know how success that hopefully we're going to have there.
Speaker 3:Bella, that's massive advice right there.
Speaker 4:Yeah no.
Speaker 3:Like to be able to focus that hard. Yeah, conor McGregor says the same thing. You just have to be like just 100% laser focused on every single task that you do to get to that car, like her.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I totally agree with you on like, how the short term goals like lead to the long term goals. But you really have to have a passion for it because you won't have enough motivation to get through it. But exactly.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I totally agree with you. Yeah, it's not going to be easy and everyone's like. For instance, you know, people look at Instagram and social media and they think everyone's life is just incredible and it's like, and it is, but doesn't mean there's not hard times, does it mean there's been a lot of hard times, you've gotten through to get to that point, you know, and then it's like, of course you want to focus on the positives and everything, but be prepared, because it's not the ones that fall, it's the ones that get up.
Speaker 3:Are you talking about hard times, like getting chased by ducks attacking you?
Speaker 4:That duck died, by the way? No, it was so bad. No, yeah, what the heck. Everyone wanted to tell me he died too and I was like thanks, I feel bad. I know, that's so sad.
Speaker 3:He tried from the incident, but he died.
Speaker 4:He was a girl. This whole time I didn't know, and I guess it might have attacked someone and it tased it or something, I think, and then had an egg stuck in it and so I guess it was a girl. This whole time I was gone so I had nothing to do with this duck tragedy, but my neighbor's a share told me about it. He said that someone took it to the vet and oh dude way to bring it up, George. So Henry was a girl. Rest in peace.
Speaker 3:Oh man, that is crazy. That is crazy. What else you got, belle?
Speaker 2:I wanted to talk about the road to Dakar too, like how many stages that you raced in the last rally and kind of what was your favorite and stuff like that. So tell us about that.
Speaker 4:So Road to Dakar is kind of like a campaign that Jackson Motorsports, who they're very big with BF Skidrich, they came on to help me campaign this whole thing, so it's a way for people to be involved in, like it's a campaign that you guys go to my website, follow along. There's my hashtag, the official. Everything in my journey to Dakar and in Morocco we raced five days of actual racing plus prologue, and so Morocco is known to be, I guess, a lot harder than Dakar, which is. I did not know this until we got there, and then they were all saying how, yeah, I drove the Dakar. Oh, you can win a ride with me, by the way.
Speaker 2:Okay, Dude her website's good Look at that.
Speaker 3:That website's got big flex on it, dude.
Speaker 4:Oh, thank you. I actually been doing it myself lately Like I feel like I just did jack of all trades anymore, Dude this is what it takes to achieve your goals.
Speaker 3:right there, you got to be a computer scientist as well.
Speaker 2:I'm taking notes right now. You just can't see it. I seriously don't sleep.
Speaker 4:I stay up all night and I like Google stuff. Yeah, like, how do I do this? And it takes me probably a million times longer than a professional would, but at least I get it done Right. But no, morocco was crazy. It was a very challenging rally. I guess the navigation was tougher than normal because I've never raced a real stage rally right, so this is all new to me and it was a lot rougher than I expected and it was long days, I would say most of the days were about. We were anywhere from eight to 12 hours a day in the car, so it's basically like doing the Baja 500 every single day.
Speaker 4:That's wild, and yeah, but the first day we got lost a little bit, which is totally normal because we were racing using Veeps. So oh, wow, yeah, yes, that's how we navigate, so we don't have the DPS or anything. That's crazy, yeah. So, jeremy, he absolutely killed it and he was kind of thrown right in the deep end. And then after that, the next day, we killed it, got our first stage win, which everyone was just like this is a fluke thing. I'm like maybe it is, I don't know. Congratulations, by the way, thank you. I was definitely emotional. I came back because, like I'm not going to cry. And then I was like just tears everywhere, yeah, like who cares? I wanted this so bad. And then we backed it up and we won the next thing, yeah. And then I was like, okay, this is enough fluke saying.
Speaker 3:Can I say something quick here? Because, like, when we're just talking about the dream, the journey, like all of these things that you're putting 110% effort into a lot of people that are successful, they talk about these same things and those emotions that you felt when you crossed the finish line. You're like, oh shit, like there's a milestone that I just achieved and a lot of people will lose it. Like they stood, like you said, they start crying and all of a sudden there's a little piece that most people don't have that you do at the end and that's keeping the excitement alive, Because that piece usually falls off and since you're able to do it, that's a massive win for you.
Speaker 4:Oh, thank you. Yeah, it's kind of crazy. I didn't want to believe it, to be honest, and so it's like the tears actually didn't totally hit until I saw like our crew there sitting there. I had one of my best friends for absolutely ever. She came with me to Morocco and she's my PR manager and she kind of helps manage everything and that's what she does full time now. So it's kind of cool to see her progress with me and she's been a part of my career since the start. And then I've seen her and then, you know, I see monsters standing there monster Joe, ricky and then everyone's like all our mechanics, everyone's clapping. When we came in and I was just kind of like, oh my gosh this is real, this is happening.
Speaker 4:And it's like okay, now the emotions are coming off, yeah, but it's pretty incredible and yeah, I think our first World Stage Rally we got second is just that's incredible. Most people don't really finish very well their first time and that's why we wanted to go to Morocco and so now we kind of really set the bar a little high, like, okay, we have a lot to look to, right, I'm excited and it was great. We learned a lot and me and Jeremy just worked so good as a team and you know, he's just the nicest guy ever, such even kill attitude and just always just positive, and I think you have a lot of good times coming ahead for that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the whole great family Fantastic.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, I know, and Sadie Sadie did that. Sadie, bella Sadie.
Speaker 2:Gray.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Right, yeah, I think she wants. I'm not really sure, but I want her to come on the show for sure. She's amazing.
Speaker 4:She's like, she looks like brave cartoon character. Her hair is so beautiful.
Speaker 3:Dude, it really is. Yeah, she makes a lot of jealous of that hair. I think she just joined us too. So, hi, sadie, if you're watching.
Speaker 4:Hi Sadie, hi Sadie.
Speaker 3:All right. What's next is we only got, I think, three or four more minutes left of Sarah.
Speaker 2:I had a quick question. You were talking about being in the car for like eight to 10 hours and like basically how it was. Like Baja races back to back to back, what was the like eating situation and drinking water and just taking care of yourself. You know, tell me that I love it.
Speaker 4:I love how you asked me this. I seriously live off fruit snacks. I love fruit snacks.
Speaker 3:Like Gushers, gushers.
Speaker 4:Jeremy Rook whipped out some Gushers and I was like, and Sadie told me she was going to pack them for him. And then, like, all of a sudden, he was hiding out on all these good things. He seriously whooped out Gushers. He had fruit by the foot, fruit roll up. But I was like, dude, where have these things been this whole time?
Speaker 3:He like halfway through the race.
Speaker 4:He's like here yeah, I want to present. I had an all the time. I had like welches and lots like regular fruit snacks, yeah, and I'm like just chowing down over there and like I usually have a crustables but we couldn't get those in Morocco. So, yeah, there's fruit snacks.
Speaker 3:Dude, why is he yeah, why does he got a hold out on?
Speaker 4:you, jeremy, god, I guess he's two and a half right, bro, what you out on bread and Blueberries.
Speaker 2:Wait, we're about to also про call a host for eating. Reiterate grad 너n, I must do that into science development.
Speaker 4:At the end of an or part of the one or two of each other. But yeah, no, I think, coca-cola, and or a monster, sometimes like the zero sugar monsters I love, but with a crustable game changer that is, and then Advil with caffeine.
Speaker 3:Yeah, what? Yeah, all that stuff helps you, Like if Sarah knows that stuff from like motocross cause it helps thin out your blood and you can get like less tired and fatigue and stuff. Like, yeah, it helps the way that your body processes the oxygen and stuff so you can even breathe better. Like, yeah, it's crazy how the all the science behind it. That's a good question that Bella asked, though, Sarah, because Bella is always looking to improve herself too, Cause I don't know if you know this, but she has like what a year or two now with diabetes, and so she's really looking to keep herself fit and to be able to do better in her racing.
Speaker 4:Oh, wow, yeah, that has to be like. You have to manage that very well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean it's definitely a process, but you know, especially with all racing too, like you want everything to work together.
Speaker 3:So yeah, look, show her your arm.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, oh wow.
Speaker 4:It's crazy. Yeah, that's a. I don't know too much about it, but my dad has it and so I've kind of learned through his process a little bit. But yeah, I know that you have to be super on your diet and keep your sugars very level, right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yes, 100%.
Speaker 3:But it always helps getting advice from people like you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 100%, and any aspect Honestly don't be afraid to eat while you're driving.
Speaker 4:I do it, I just sort of be like racing sometimes and I'm like oh, I like to throw in some snacks and gummy bears.
Speaker 3:You can even eat a granola. All right, let's go with one last question, for actually you got two last questions. You can ask some of those.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, what has been your favorite part of the whole Dakar experience, like overall, just?
Speaker 4:I would have to say, creating a little team within the team, so like being surrounded by the people that I've accumulated and that have so much meaning in my success. I'm so excited for Dakar because I feel like the team I've been trying to assemble for so long is finally assembled and not this year, it's shown. That's why because you have good people behind you, but like one, having Mitchell also up there is he's going to Dakar as my mechanic, yeah, and then Cynthia is going as my manager and PR person, and also having Jeremy there and possibly even one of my main mentor, emily Miller, who owns the Rebell rally. She possibly might even be going as well. And so I'm like kind of like dang, like I'm going to go to Dakar just filled, like super safe and super kind of like I got all my people in need here.
Speaker 2:You know, already be dialed, it's so important having a good like foundation and a good program and everything.
Speaker 3:Put the mic a little closer, though it really is, though. Like I mean, teamwork is a dream. Work is kind of cliche to say, but like it literally is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's true, yeah.
Speaker 4:I totally agree with it and like it just always, you know, when you have good vibes around you and it just works. It's like like, for instance, how me and Mitchell work, like since we came together and started working together. It's like I kind of pick up where he needs help and then, vice versa, he's picking up this huge load that I've always needed help to figure out and needed whatever I could get from it, you know. So now my cars are living at his place and I don't have to worry about that. I can kind of do the rest of it and then focus on that 100%, and I actually trust him a million percent with my vehicles. We're like now he doesn't even have me in the equation, like he doesn't even ask me questions. He's kind of like what do you need, what do you want, like from this race? And then I'll write like a little list and then he just handles it and then don't talk to him and then show up and it's like, okay, cool, what'd you do? I did this, this. This cool, right, let's go.
Speaker 3:So she said the same thing a bunch of times. The word focus.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, david realize that.
Speaker 3:That's because you have such good focus.
Speaker 4:Yeah well, mitchell actually brought that up last time. We talked to you like you do really well at figuring out where everyone needs to be in order to do what you need to do, and I kind of was like it hasn't always been that way, but I've always dreamed of getting to this point and I finally am there.
Speaker 3:As of this year, I feel like Do you think, before you ask the last question, bella, do you think that there's any advice that you can give to like, say, bella, or some of the younger people that are trying to race and try to achieve their goals, that can help them with their focus?
Speaker 4:I think look at it in what stresses you out the most that you feel like maybe isn't your expertise right. If you're trying to be the driver and be the best driver you possibly can, what can you surround yourself by to take off? The other things that necessarily don't have to do with that that can help you. So, for instance, just like also, I can't even over my cars and I kind of like a hundred percent trust and believe in him to know that they're going to be a hundred percent when they come to me for me to do my job, and so it's things like that. It's like handing off the PR to Cynthia when I'm at the races and me not having my phone she handles and she makes sure everyone's updated. It's like so then I can focus. You know, it's just all those little things you kind of like compartmentize, I guess.
Speaker 3:Yep, and you just break it down.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, not having as full of a plate to handle, just focusing on the one thing you want to succeed in.
Speaker 4:Exactly, but when racing is done, trust me, my plate's way too full yeah.
Speaker 3:Well, her plate's really full right now too, because she's got to go to SEMA. So let's wind it up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, let's wrap it up with who would you like to thank your sponsors, anybody that supports you.
Speaker 4:Oh boy, I honestly like I can't thank all the people that seriously stepped up to be a part of my program and that itself is be of good rich. They came out of nowhere with a huge support for me to make this happen and just for by believing in me and honestly, it's by far the best tire to go there on, because you definitely don't want to be having punctures or flats. Yeah, racine wheels, can-am a-o coolers which you guys got to get some the best and vision canopies I know you guys threw it out there before Vision Kyle absolutely amazing. I love that guy more than anything. Super A-TV, rockford, fosgate, sparkle, obviously Alsup, jeremy and can-am yeah.
Speaker 4:So Thunder of my Name squeezes.
Speaker 3:I was just over. We're installing a star stream system on the vision canopies car for the Baja 1000, so I was with all those boys this morning.
Speaker 4:Oh nice heck, yeah yeah that's cool to see everybody, it's awesome.
Speaker 3:Did everybody's pumped.
Speaker 4:Plus Doug has his bachelor party starting tomorrow, oh boy, so you want to know what's funny. They got engaged at RJ's River House.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:And our property is the one right across from RJ's, so our property was in the background getting worked on. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Way to schedule the construction work.
Speaker 4:Gary, oh wow.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's crazy. All right, well, let's thank her and let her get off to SEMA.
Speaker 2:Thank you so much. It has been awesome having you on here, and I've been wanting you to come on here for a while, so I'm very thankful.
Speaker 4:Aw, thank you so much, bella, and are you? What's your next race?
Speaker 2:My next race is this weekend, I believe, in Cal City. So Nice, yeah, exciting. Oh, good luck, go out there and kill it. Thank you so much.
Speaker 3:Bye Sarah.
Speaker 2:Bye Sarah. Thank you for having me. Yes.
Speaker 3:Have fun. Bye. All right, you want to get George Lemosas on? Yes, I do. Let's do it. Go ahead, and you can even start the intro right when he pops up. How about we do that, let's go.
Speaker 2:Hi, george, I'm good, how are you?
Speaker 3:What's up?
Speaker 5:dude.
Speaker 1:What's up, george?
Speaker 3:Dude, your hair is looking sick.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think I need to cut it. It's a little too long.
Speaker 2:Hey, you're growing it out, it's okay. So George is 14 years old, from Riverside California. He is an experienced in desert and short course and championships in multiple series, including first place at the MITT 400 in the Youth 1000 class. Congratulations, by the way, thank you Thanks a lot.
Speaker 1:It's a lot of work to just get there. Yeah, it's pretty hard to get there.
Speaker 3:What's that on your hat, dude? Let's get a little closer to the camera so we can see that bad boy, chobee Buru.
Speaker 1:Yeah what's up?
Speaker 3:Simon.
Speaker 2:Yeah, all right. So I wanted to talk about kind of like growing up in the racing industry. Like what type of you know have you made most of your friendships in there, and like what kind of it that has has it taught you so far, just like you know, it's almost because it's like it's like a life, not just a.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I got you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know it's basically another lifestyle, like living somewhere else. I live at my house and I live at the track, so it's basically that type and I mean I've made a lot of good friends at racing. It's just such a connected family at the racing scene. And, yeah, you meet a lot of awesome people and growing up. I mean, I started when I was 7. I'm not 14, so yeah, I mean I basically grew up in the off-road scene. So, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:No, it's crazy the amount of friendships that you make and then you realize, like dang, all my friends come from racing.
Speaker 4:Yeah, is that the way you do?
Speaker 2:Yes, I wanted to talk about your point standings in the gas series. Congratulations, by the way. It was great, but like has it been a battle throughout the series or like has it been pretty solid for you?
Speaker 1:It's been a huge battle. I mean we've been. I've been shifting from second to first. I won the first gas race. We got. Round two we had. We had a little slight mishap but we still got some points. Round three, we got, I'm pretty sure, third, second Round four. Round five round four I was able to get second. Round five I DNF'd. And then these previous rounds from Chandler, arizona, I got fourth and first. So basically throughout those rounds I've been shifting from first and second and heading into the finals this weekend I'm separate. Well, I'm in the lead by one point. So it's going to be. It's going to be a pretty big battle there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, good luck to you for sure who are you?
Speaker 1:battling Connor Berry. Oh, okay, yeah, no, and I'm pretty sure there's a lot of other kids, well, kids and adults behind me too. So anyone stay from both of us and we could. It could be like a full point of four, from fourth all the way down. It could be a fight for first and this championship.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's cutting it close.
Speaker 3:Josh Caperson just joined hi, josh.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So I wanted to talk about how much effort does it take for you to be able to like win races and, more specifically, the time it takes for you and your family to be able to like accomplish your goals and stuff. Because I know it's not it's obviously not just you, you know it's your team, it's everybody around you that supports you. So you know what. What do you do? You guys have a game plan and how you go into the weekend, or tell us about that.
Speaker 1:So so yeah, it's basically a game plan. What people don't see normally is that the week before, or even like two weeks before that, you're already starting, for you're already starting in advance, you're starting to set up the car, you're starting to, I guess, wash the car from the previous race, cleaning the trailer, sorting out everything, and it's basically, yeah, it's basically a game plan, like you said. So, yeah, I mean there's a lot of prep that goes into it, especially more in these 1000s. You've got to check a lot of bolts, a lot more basically of everything. So it's a pretty big game plan?
Speaker 2:Yeah, does it take out of your like your daily life?
Speaker 1:you know you go in the shop every day, or stuff like that, I mean basically coming from school, I'll take I guess like four hours, maybe five, to just work on the car, just get everything set up and then just continue tomorrow. But after those four hours or five hours I'll just start my class like homework or anything like that. So, yeah, yeah, basically like that.
Speaker 3:That's a pretty full schedule. Yeah, simon from Trophy Road just joined us too. So what's up, simon? That's a full schedule, though. So, like when, when you think about adults, right, bella, do you think they have an eight hour day, work day, right, and some can come home and just chill, some have to work with their kids, some have to work on race cars, all this stuff. But George is learning that at a very young age, right? So you have to go to school in the morning.
Speaker 3:You have to go through throughout the whole day and you know the same stuff too, and then putting in four or five more hours with the work. I mean, like you're already at like dinner time area right there, and if you still got anything left over, you got to eat dinner real quick and get back out in the shop. Like that's a lot of work and you're missing some of the I don't know playtime, so to speak. Right, like sometimes you don't get to celebrate with all your friends and stuff, but that's where you make friends with the races, right, yeah, basically like that, yeah.
Speaker 1:So I mean it does take a little bit out of the I guess playtime and but yeah, that's where we make friends at the track and we do whatever we can at the track before we race. Yeah, hey.
Speaker 3:So one thing I wanted to like mention was George is bilingual too.
Speaker 2:Oh OK.
Speaker 3:So he can. He can translate a lot of stuff for his parents, for his family, all that stuff. So right there, that is a great skill to have. Yeah, because it's a feather in his cap when he wants to go get sponsors right, because now he doesn't just have sponsors in the United States. He can go ask people in that speak Spanish to be able to support their product, because he can talk wholeheartedly about that stuff as well. So like that's a massive I don't know what you want to call it bonus for him.
Speaker 2:Right, even when you get older too, as you, like you know, try to find a career and stuff like that through college and stuff. A lot of people tend to have like a lot of respect for the people that do know more languages or more than one, because you can communicate more.
Speaker 3:Oh, dude, he could probably order way better tacos than we can oh definitely 100 percent.
Speaker 1:Probably. I mean, I have connections here.
Speaker 3:Look at this guy throwing out the sponsor connections for tacos.
Speaker 2:Yeah, even like the play time. You were talking about just that sacrificing thing that we kind of talked about with Sarah, like being able, like to understand. You know I can't go do this one thing today because I have to do this for racing, but it all works out in the end, you know.
Speaker 3:Well, do you guys feel like, well, let's, let's ask George first, and then you can chime in too, bella? Do you guys feel like you're losing out on the friend time or do you feel like you guys are kind of moving ahead in the direction that you want? Like, what do you think George?
Speaker 1:I mean it's kind of makes up both. Sure, you do lose some friend time, like schools from friends, but I mean that's where you make it up as well, at the racetrack. You make some friends over there at the track, basically. So, yeah, you lose a little bit of friend time but you make it up with other friends at the racetrack.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I got you, yeah, I agree 100 percent. And you're focusing on other goals too. People just always ask me that too. They're like dude. Why don't you come to this party? Like I was racing professional dirt bikes at the time and they're like dude, come out, hang out, drinks, beers, just hang out. I'm like dude. I got some goals, man. I want to achieve this stuff. And some people feel good doing it their way and then, like I felt good doing it my way because, like it was like keeping my heart hole, so to speak.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, yeah, I understand you. Basically, yeah, yeah, you're looking to reach your goal. So I mean you kind of like have to zone into your goal only to like actually complete it.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, no, I always say the good thing that you know that at such a young age too, because sometimes it takes a lot. Of people like to be, you know, more than halfway through their life and realize oh dang, I need some goals.
Speaker 3:Well, what was that F word that Sarah Sarah Price used? F O C U S.
Speaker 1:Focus oh me.
Speaker 2:If I need to go back to school.
Speaker 3:But that focus was exactly what George is talking about right now and you have that focus. It's cool that you're understanding that. But does that come just from your mindset, george? Is that come from your whole family and kind of everybody together, because your parents have probably taught you a lot of that being grounded and kind of seeing the vision that you have?
Speaker 1:Yeah. No, I mean it comes from from my family. I mean my dad used to do motorcycles here in Mexico, so he kind of he learned it as well and he kind of passed it on to me. So I mean it's basically yeah, it's basically a family. I mean I learned a little bit as well, but I mean my dad probably is basically is your dad fast. Oh, he was pretty good in Mexico. Yeah, it was pretty good.
Speaker 3:Could you beat him on a dirt bike?
Speaker 1:Oh, thanks, I mean I haven't ridden on a dirt bike, well, okay, well, when I was young I used to do dirt bikes. Okay, well, I never. Yeah, I had a 170, but I never used it and uh, yeah, I mean I would, I had races, I did the day in the dirt it was for like kids and I did that, um, milestone, um, next to Walker Evans, but uh, I I broke my collarbone when I was like five or six, so that basically like kind of like moved me away from the bikes and I was just kind of not doing much for like a year and a half. I mean I did cross country, but uh, then then, um, well, I think it was YouTube, I found 170s racing and I was watching with my daddy and my dad said, if you want to do it, and I said, yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 1:And we grabbed the 170. It was an old carburetor, it was like the first generations of 170s, it was all carbureted. So, uh, we fixed it up and I mean we took it to your dirt series, Okay, and we said there yeah, um, I think I got third, yeah, I was third. So, yeah, from there, I mean that's where it basically started, yeah.
Speaker 3:Did you the first race in a 170, were you just trying to send it as hard as you could?
Speaker 1:I mean I I was trying to, um, it's just I didn't know I really didn't use my 170 that much. I mean I used my motorcycle instead. And I mean I never really knew the 170 at that point. I just used it on trails like in the desert, but not like racing, like what lines to take. I mean I was probably just taking the inside at that point. Yeah, and that was the fact to say.
Speaker 3:Every time, every time I see the kids, Bill, I don't know about you, but like I always get so pumped because like you can tell that they're just so in the zone.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 100%. Some of them are focused more than the adults are. But I think it's pretty cool, Like you know, like looking back on all of the stuff that you have accomplished, you're just being like dang, this is where I started and like this is where I am now, and just kind of comparing and making new goals as you get older. That's really cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's awesome. I mean, good thing I found that YouTube video. If not, I don't think I would have been right now.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, youtube saves the day.
Speaker 1:And I'm right here. I'm talking to you guys, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Actually, since you talked about like the focus and all that stuff, do you have like a vision board too, Like what Sarah Price is talking about? Or like do you list out your goals like on a piece of paper? Or like how do you do it?
Speaker 1:Um, well, I have my goals kind of in my mind. Um, there's a lot of goals, I mean ranging from desert to, I mean, at pavement. There's a lot of goals out there and I mean you can pick and choose, but there's one goal that you're always going to be set on, like focus on the most, and I feel like it's just moving on through my career and trying to get to a rank like a pretty high rank, just to like let my name be out there, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, totally yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, like that Basically yeah.
Speaker 3:Hey, so hold on real quick. I wanted to say thank you because you got to talk about support and stuff. One of the guys that just jumped on his name is Cody Sanders. You know, cody Sanders was the first co-host of the Dirt Life show, really yeah. So I want to say thank you to him for jumping on too. Uh okay, sorry, I didn't mean to disrupt you, bella.
Speaker 2:I'm most afraid of weight. I feel like I kind of forgot what I was going to say.
Speaker 3:That's okay. You have a list right in front of you. Oh I do?
Speaker 2:I was going to mention that you kind of have your toes like dipped in each little thing you know with, like desert racing and then short course and then pavement. So like out of all of those things you know, what do you find like most thrilling to you?
Speaker 1:Um, well, I've, I'm, yeah, I've done my toes a lot. I mean I've done rally, I've done um, I've done off road, I've done desert, yeah, so I mean I've, I've kind of did my toes everywhere. Um, yeah, I mean, if I were to say like, if I were to focus on one thing only, I think it would just like be on desert and like go to Baja, at least Baja.
Speaker 2:Yeah Same, but yeah, that's a pretty good goal.
Speaker 1:Yeah it's, it's a pretty. I think it's a pretty good goal and yeah, that's yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, I'm out of questions, but do you got any for George?
Speaker 3:No, I just wanted to say like I really appreciate him and his family, the way that they, uh uh I don't know what you want to call it Like appreciate the races that they go to. So every every time I see him, he's with his family and every time, uh, they're going through tech or whatever they're doing, if they're conversating with their friends, their family, their sponsors, whatever it is, they always have a smile on their face and they're always looking to do better and give back, like that's what the whole off road culture and, well, that's what life in general needs, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And so if they can keep that going, he'll have a very, very successful career, no matter how he looks at it. So I think it's fantastic that you guys are doing it that way, man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think you have your head in the right mindset, for sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, thank you guys. Yeah, I know Um, yeah, I mean we're just trying to enjoy everything we can. It's pretty hard to get to every race, but here we are, we're fighting in points for a championship. Uh, we're fighting for points in the desert championships. So, yeah, we're appreciating everything, though, um, that we're able to do. And yeah, I mean it's awesome. I love this community, the desert community and the offered community. It's just an awesome community that everybody cares about. Um, and I mean hopefully it grows to something like a way bigger, like it explodes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, totally, and that's, that's all up to you, man. All you got to do is focus and put your goals there, Uh and? But I will say this Connor Berry is no slouch dude, so you're going to have to step up. Dude, but I feel, I feel like, however it goes down, you guys are both going to win because you guys are just going to give it. Your all, like both of your families, are fantastic and you guys are just going to go hammer down and see who the best man wins.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there we go. Yeah, like the elbows are going to be out there, uh, for the last rounds, but yeah, it should be. It should be a cool experience. I mean, I, in a sense, we're both going to win, with both shown a lot of work over the season. So yeah, we'll see. We'll see who's able to just get out there and get the top spot.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, good luck to you. And to wrap it all up, um, who would you like to thank? Your sponsors, anybody that supports your program.
Speaker 1:Uh, I got a lot of people, um, but especially my mom and dad and my two little brothers. They've been with me since the beginning and without them and their support, um yeah, I just wouldn't be here, right. Um, also, all my friends at the track and at school. They just pursue me to do this and, uh, I got a bit. Give a huge shout out to trophy bro for helping me with marketing and all that. Um, he's helped me a lot to grow my page. So, the infrastructure, um, god's Sam, performance for the car, walker Evans, sparko for the awesome suits, uh, what else?
Speaker 3:Yeah, who? Who designs all that stuff? Dude Cause you're always looking so crispy.
Speaker 1:Um, well, chris from Sparko, he helps me a lot, he helps me out there and he helps me choose the designs. Um, but yeah, I also, I also like I, I go to his, I go to Sparko and I always see these designs and they're always so awesome. So, yeah, me and Chris uh pretty much work on the designs. So, yeah, and yeah, I mean everybody, everybody that supports me, uh, they, they, they're just awesome. I mean they're able to support my program, they're able to help me grow to like a new potential. So, yeah, it's pretty awesome. And yeah, I just want to be here with all the yeah.
Speaker 3:Hey, well, I have one question before we get rolling on real quick. What's the best battle that you've ever had?
Speaker 1:on course, I mean top of the list dude.
Speaker 1:I mean basically all these races, they've been the like the biggest battles. I mean production 1000 has one of the closest battles you can get, since the cars are identically the same, they're all the same way they almost say power. So I mean we've had a lot of close battles inside outside shoving people out, but uh, yeah, I think I don't know, man, there's too much. There's too much really good battle. So I think just over the span of production 1000, there's been a lot of good battles.
Speaker 3:I was. I was thinking he was going to answer. It hasn't happened yet. It's going to happen this weekend.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, yeah, the best battle will happen this weekend.
Speaker 1:We'll see. We'll see how it happens, we'll see where it goes down. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Kick some butt here, kick some butt All right, thanks you guys.
Speaker 1:Thanks for inviting me here.
Speaker 3:Later, see you guys. Uh, all right, let's see if we can get rolling on here real quick, and then uh, I really liked how he appreciated like family above everything yeah. Like that's what I was saying Like him and his family, like they're a very tight knit group. You know what?
Speaker 4:I mean yeah for sure.
Speaker 3:It's super cool to see.
Speaker 2:Hi guys, hi Rowan Rowan, how are you Good are you? I'm good, so Rowan is 17.
Speaker 3:Okay, go for it, bella. Let's give her an intro. Rowan is 17, from Southern.
Speaker 2:California. Um, she has experience racing short course and is beginning her career in desert racing, so that's pretty exciting, very exciting.
Speaker 3:Hey plus, she just explained shreds dude, I know.
Speaker 2:Um, I wanted to bring something up to kind of start it, because we were talking a little bit about, like some of the other sports that you do that aren't racing. So I know I think it was lacrosse, right? Yeah, I play girls lacrosse.
Speaker 5:I play for a club year round, and then I also play for my high school.
Speaker 2:Okay, and then you do flag football too, right.
Speaker 5:Yeah, girls, flag football just got added to my high school as a new CIF sport. Okay, this is like the first year it's happening. I'm a senior, so I got lucky. I'm excited. Um, we're mid season right now. We're going into playoffs in net not this week, but next week and hopefully we can come out with the championship.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Dude that'd be so, dude. What's Starly? Or lacrosse or flag football.
Speaker 5:Um, I feel like flag football is a big thing. I feel like flag football can get gnarly because there's a lot of like rugby players that play, like those rugby players that are playing this year, but it's really like they're really cracking down on the rules where, like you can't, like you can't have contact at all and like you have to be very specific about what you do and what you don't. We're not allowed to spin when we have the ball, so you can't like spin out of someone pulling your flag, and so it's like there's a lot of rules to prevent it from getting crazy. I feel like lacrosse is probably more gnarly. Just because you have sticks and even though you're not allowed to hit each other, like you still get bruises like all down your arm. Yeah, totally. You also don't have helmets or shin guards and we wear goggles they look really weird.
Speaker 2:That's so different than racing because you're kind of just like in your own. You know different.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but it teaches you totally different stuff that you can use like crossover, like in between them.
Speaker 5:Right, yeah it's. It's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I got myself busy you do, you're very sports like.
Speaker 3:Centric.
Speaker 2:Yes, very sports centric.
Speaker 3:How the heck do you manage all that? I feel like that's so much time.
Speaker 5:So I go to public school full time. Um, I race kind of just for fun, like it's a hobby that my dad and I do together. My sister used to race, but she's really focused on the cross, Like she's trying to go to college for it and she's really good at it, and so she spends a lot of her time with my mom at the fields and then my dad and I will go to the track and or to the desert or something like that.
Speaker 3:Your sister just joined too Like she should have joined like five seconds ago when you were talking about it. Oh, she is.
Speaker 5:Um. So yeah, it's definitely busy, but I feel like we make it work.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, it's easy. It makes it easier having like a whole family or like a whole support system around you that kind of helps you get to these places and stuff 100%, because I feel like we, like Bergen and I, both do the same thing.
Speaker 5:So she also plays five football. Okay, she's just on JV this year because she's a sophomore, and so then we're on different teams for flag football, but we play the same. We play on different teams for club because it's by ages, and then for um high school for lacrosse. She's really good at lacrosse, so she made varsity as a freshman last year. As yet to come it comes in spring, so we'll be playing together again, yeah, but yeah, I feel like we have a lot of the same interests. So, like our family is a big support system to each other.
Speaker 3:Yeah, plus like um. Well, I feel like Bergen has a little bit of an advantage because you can teach her some of the stuff that you learned too.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I feel like I mean honestly, cause I started a little later um in lacrosse than she did and her team is probably better than my team is by being on the Michael for sure Um so the student has become the teacher. Yeah, she's better out lacrosse than I am. Um, I used to play an offensive position in lacrosse and I think this year I'm switching to goalie, so it should be a good change and it'll be fun. Yeah, for sure. Beach girl at heart after a position you play in flag football too.
Speaker 3:What? What position do you play in flag football?
Speaker 5:I play center.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, right in the middle, right in the mix.
Speaker 3:Dude just getting her hands dirty.
Speaker 2:I know Um kind of the same question that I asked George um, cause I know you do have experience in, well, yes, both short course and desert, but you kind of have a little bit of a history with short course, right yeah.
Speaker 5:So obviously my dad raised dirt bikes his whole life and then he retired, like right before I was born.
Speaker 5:Um, he went on shortly after that to raise short course and so I've I've grown up at the short course track, like right, that was like so fun for us kids, like we all just messed around and had so much fun there. There's so many memories. Um. So he raised short course and while we were at the races for him, we would see like the junior carts, okay, like the little trophy trucks, yeah, and I would always see them and I was like I just want to do that, I just want to do that. And that was when Haley was still racing and like I was friends with all of them and we would like hang out at the track and everything. And I was just like I want to be just like them, and even though I was so much younger than her that's probably why my dad did not start me any other than he did, cause I probably would not have been able to control myself yeah, um so, and then Dude, they had some of the coolest.
Speaker 3:uh, what are? They called trophy carts or junior carts, Like the brightest colors and stuff at the track? I remember seeing them and look at some like damn that car's sick.
Speaker 5:We had. Mine was like paint splatters, so it was like rainbow paint splatters from the front to the back and then all the like, the whole roll cage and the rims were like neon orange. So I brought on orange into my desert car. So not, I haven't rate. Well, wait, I raised the DP four race in that car, but it's pretty new so I haven't. I haven't raised a big race in that or like a longer race in that, Right Um. But my new desert car has the bright orange roll cage.
Speaker 5:Just like my course, car does.
Speaker 3:You kind of forgot to tell everybody what happened at DP four, though you may or may not have tipped it on the side, bro.
Speaker 5:I did do that. I did do. Um, I can't remember which lap it was on, maybe. Third, we came around a corner and I knew the corner was there, but the ruts were so big, like they were getting bigger and bigger each time we came around and I came around and I just came in too hot yeah.
Speaker 5:We were like sitting there, like straight to the side and then there's no way we would have been able to get that back up. Luckily there were. It was so random, like the one spot there was camera guys out there like that we're filming for someone. I don't know who they were filming for, maybe even DP four, I'm not sure. Um, they luckily had a razor, they had a floor seater and so we were stuck and we get out and I was like there's no way, like there's no, we can't pick it up. Yeah, I'm not getting this back up. And they luckily like came over and they were like oh my gosh, you guys need help, because we were right in the middle of like the track, like we were going to get hit. So I was trying to like move everyone, like get all the cars that were coming to go around us so that we didn't get hit really hard. Um, and then they hooked it up with some tie downs and everything and they pulled us back up and we kept going.
Speaker 3:Dude cause, like Scott and I were in the pits and some of your other crew and we were like sitting there and they're like dude. Where the F did Rowan go? Like she just cause we thought we saw everybody else pass by and she wasn't there. And then they radioed in there Like yeah, we flipped over, but we're back going and we're like wait what?
Speaker 5:And it only like it only took like five minutes, I mean I'm sure it felt for her, like I was a really short stop, Like had those guys not been there, it would have taken much longer and would have been I don't even know what we would have done. Um, it was like five to 10 minutes I want to say yeah.
Speaker 5:And then, yeah, we kept on going. I've never flipped a razor like that before, so that was like my first time and luckily it was just the die Like. It wasn't like that. I flipped a short course car before, but that was my first time in one of those and I was like it. It wasn't, it was like the same thing, yeah.
Speaker 3:But it did. It feel like gut wrenching because you don't have the safety crew to just like flip you over cause you're like out in the middle of the desert.
Speaker 5:Well, my first thought was cause I flipped on my co-driver side and so he unbuckled. And then I unbuckled and I fell straight to the ground and I hit my shoulder really hard, Like my collarbone hurts so bad. And so then I got out and I was like I don't know what we're going to do.
Speaker 3:Did you smash Slade when you fell? Fell in the car.
Speaker 5:No, I had him get out. I did not brace myself for whatever reason, I just took the fall yeah.
Speaker 3:She has other seatbelts and just slaps over to the side.
Speaker 5:I feel like I tried to stop myself, but it really didn't work. I don't know. I don't know what happened.
Speaker 2:It's crazy how desert racing puts people in positions like that you wouldn't think that people would have to do this, but we do.
Speaker 5:Yeah, had those people had those filmers or camera guys not been out there, I seriously don't know what would have happened.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, that's crazy.
Speaker 3:Thank goodness.
Speaker 5:I know, thank goodness. Then those guys came up at the finish line and they were like, oh, glad you finished. I was like, yeah, thanks for helping me, I would not have finished, you did not.
Speaker 3:Dude for real, she did good, she drove good all weekend.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I think I ended up third. Yeah, I'm going to wait. Maybe third Congratulations I'm so bad at remembering stuff like that. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Well, I just remember that your laps were really consistent Before you biffed it. We were like damn dude, she's cruising pretty fast.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I really like the track that we were doing there. It was a lot of fun because, even though it's the same lap a couple of times, it's like new every time, because everything's like the conditions are changing so much, with how many cars are on the track and going at the same time, that each time you came around it almost felt different.
Speaker 3:Dude, the ruts were so blown out those last two or four laps. Oh my God.
Speaker 5:So crazy. I was surprised, honestly, that I hadn't tipped it over before that, because I was coming in a little too hot to all of them and I was putting it on the bike and making my. I was scaring myself, honestly, and I was like we just got to keep going, like I can't stop.
Speaker 2:and then got the best. Everybody, everybody comes too hot into a corner. It's happened to all of us.
Speaker 3:It's called pushing the limits.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it might have not been a flip, but it was definitely a tree, a couple trees actually. I saw that on your Instagram Like oh my God. This happens to everybody, right.
Speaker 3:I was thinking to myself, I was like dude, that tree must have taken a beating.
Speaker 2:That tree was gone, yeah, what happened to your crash?
Speaker 5:Lucky with how it happened yeah.
Speaker 3:What happened?
Speaker 2:The corner came in too hot and by the time you know, because we ran out of breaks, like my breaks were completely gone the first, I don't know 100 miles maybe. So by the time we got to that corner, I saw it, I was coming in really hot. There was no way I was going to be able to back down and I just I tried my best to steer clear, but you know it is what it is. It happens it's racing, yep, it's racing, yep.
Speaker 3:What else you got?
Speaker 2:Um, I got a lot kind of.
Speaker 3:Hit it.
Speaker 2:I do want to talk about what you want to accomplish in the future. So you've already accomplished so much. Just you know, finishing races is a big accomplishment because not very many people can. But, um, kind of talking about like what you know, what you want to pursue in your like desert racing career, because you just started it. So, like you know, what goals do you have?
Speaker 5:Yeah, so I've had. I had a goal since freshman year, like before I started freshman year of high school. It was a big goal and I'm not going to be able to complete it by the time I wanted to. Hopefully in the future I will. My goal was to race the Baja 1000 before I graduated high school. Okay, I graduate in in May, so that might have to wait at least maybe a year. Yeah, I just need more experience in everything. I've never raced down in Baja. I would love to do the San Felipe 250 in the next year and hopefully, like, go bigger and bigger from there. Um, I am going to be attending college, so I'm going to university. I don't know where yet. That has yet to be a decision in my household. I've applied, but I have no decision yet.
Speaker 3:Um, do you have a preference Like did you apply to a couple?
Speaker 5:Um, I kind of applied to a bunch, just because I really have no idea where I want to go.
Speaker 3:You're thinking like out of state, or so Cal.
Speaker 5:Um, I'm applying to SDSU but I think I'll end up out of state. I think I'll end up in like Arizona or Texas, Okay.
Speaker 3:U of A right here. I don't know if you've applied to U of A.
Speaker 5:Oh really, yeah, I applied to U of A and ASU.
Speaker 3:Yeah, perfect yeah.
Speaker 5:So I'll be attending a college. Hopefully I can, like, keep doing some races on and off on there. Obviously, I'm going to be a little further away, so it'll be a little more difficult. Yeah, but I want to keep racing for sure, but my family kind of just does it for fun. So we just got to figure out where it takes us. And, yeah, I want to stay in the racing world though. So, like, I want to major in like sports management or sports marketing or something like that, to keep, like because I love the community and I love everyone that's involved in everything to do with motor sports, even dirt bikes, and although I don't ride I used to race, but I don't ride Um, I just I want to stay in it. I love it so much.
Speaker 3:I feel like you and Bella have a lot of the same personality traits like that because you guys both want to do that, Like you both love racing, obviously, but the uh, like the marketing and the media and stuff like you guys both really dig that. I think that's so cool yeah.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I know. I don't know how we haven't like hung out or done anything. I know we have to Like. I feel like we've never really had a full conversation in person. Yeah, I know, I feel like we have.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we definitely need to. It's. It's so nice being able to like, find someone that, like you know, is also in the racing world and that you can relate to and actually have stuff in common with.
Speaker 5:Yeah, it's it's hard here because so I live in Encinitas, california. I'm right by the beach, everyone here surfs in skates. Yeah, I don't care if we're in four skates, and so it's like I tell people, like, if they ask, I tell people I race cars because, like, they see my Instagram and everything and so. But I feel like people don't really understand what that means. Yeah, right, like for my school, just like most kids. There's a couple that like no racing and stuff like that, but most kids just don't know what that is or how it goes on or what even happens. So it's like I try explaining but, honestly, if you really have no idea, it's hard to explain.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's pointless.
Speaker 5:And so relating to people and like finding like I have a lot of friends here Don't get me wrong but like I feel like I always get along so well with people in the racing community because they just like understand everyone, Like we just understand each other so well, right, you guys?
Speaker 2:have the same passion for something you guys were just talking about, that.
Speaker 3:I remember when I was going through high school as a million years ago you guys weren't even born yet but the yeah, it was hard because I was racing. I never got to your dad's level, but I was racing professional dirt bikes and like all these kids were like, dude, what is that? Like you always have a broken leg or you always have broken arm, Like what's wrong with you, and I'm like, well, they don't get it, so it's pointless.
Speaker 2:I mean yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5:I definitely. Yeah, it's hard to. It's just hard because everyone here, like the surfing community, is huge here, Like we live in a great surf spot, we're probably like 20 minutes from the beach, okay, but it's just like everyone's a surfer. Yeah, does it ever make you feel like left out or no.
Speaker 5:I feel like I went through a weird phase in like middle school and beginning of high school that like I felt like a little left out just because I was gone for racing all the time. Like we're traveling all the time for whether it's my dad, myself or someone like I don't know, I feel like we're always at the races or somewhere at the track. And so I feel like it was a little bit hard being gone every weekend when like everyone's hanging out and everything. But I feel like I've learned to manage it better and have like figured out the ins and outs to how to keep relationships.
Speaker 3:And yeah, those are actually like what she just said is such a mature thing to say Like well, yeah, I mean, like your mom just said, to like you can relate to that. Yeah, it's, it's kind of crazy because a lot of people and kids, whatever, they don't learn that until they go to work and nobody's the same as them at their workplace, right, but you guys are already getting that experience. So, like, if you guys like, let's say, you go to when you're going to college, we're gonna like, you're gonna be like, yeah, that's cool, I match with this person and not 90 people over there. Yeah, like I'm fine, right, yeah, I think it's a good life lesson to learn like
Speaker 5:younger. Yeah, I think racing definitely teaches you like a bunch of skills that you're not going to get until you do like actually experience life?
Speaker 2:Actually, that's a good question. Do you have ones like one kind of thing that you're not going to get until you do?
Speaker 3:like actually experience life and do you have ones like one kind of thing or trait that you can like feel proud of and that you teach other people, that you've learned from the growing up, the way that you have?
Speaker 5:I feel like it's just. I feel like it's just like be kind to everyone yeah, like if you're going to be mean, like it's not worth it yeah, it's not worth it and you're never going to get something out of it. And so, just like I feel like if you're kind, then you have more relationships and everyone, although you're not going to get something out of it, although you may not hang out with the person every day. Like I see kids at school that I've been close with since preschool, like a lot of people that I know that I've gone to all of elementary school, all the middle school and everything, and I feel like, as soon as you start to like create, like break bridges, I guess, with people, it just like makes your life so much harder.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and like I don't know if you guys ever heard this, but like it's hard when you tell one lie, because that one lie turns into like a million.
Speaker 1:Like and you just can't keep it going Like it just like.
Speaker 3:What does it say? Like packs our ads on every time.
Speaker 2:Layers.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Layers.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I feel like it's just be nice to everyone.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I definitely agree with like the whole, like being left out, but also like sacrificing something for like a goal. You know, because I do yes, I do have friends, but sometimes I do have to be like sorry, I can't go, sorry, I can't come over, sorry I have to race, I have to work on a car, I have to post some. Yeah, you know, and it's gonna, it sucks at first but it's going to be so much more worth it in the long run when you realize, dang, I'm to my goal because I did sacrifice things, because I care about it that much.
Speaker 3:And the good friends will be there to watch you on the podium yeah.
Speaker 5:Yeah, definitely Like like I feel like the good friends that are really there for you stick with you, Right.
Speaker 2:And if they're not the end, then obviously they weren't your friend?
Speaker 5:Yeah, they're not your friends. So I've definitely learned like I don't want to say like who my real friends are, because it's not like that, that's like mean, but like I Feel like I've learned like who would stick with me in certain situations and who would there for me and everything, and so I Feel like yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2:No, I agree with that 100%.
Speaker 5:Yeah, but you guys can we're saying with George that, like you miss out on things because you have to go work on a car, you have a goal to reach. You Is. Other kids that are going to parties and acting like doing crazy things are just like they honestly have no idea what they're gonna do right in there if they don't know. Yeah, and I love like Knowing what I right wanted. I've known that I wanted to be in this industry for since I was in like middle school. I was like this is what I want to do, right, and so I feel, like a lot of kids, including like my friends, because a bunch of people are applying to college right now, I feel like they don't know what major or like what they want to go into or what job they want to have, and I feel like I'm so set on what I want to do. I've like experienced so much with racing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that actually makes me feel good in my heart that you guys are both that strong. Like it feels really cool to know that Off-road has given you guys that in the family, your families and stuff. Right, what else you got bell?
Speaker 2:I Got highlight of your racing career so far.
Speaker 3:I Feel like well, for me it's her, it's the design of her freakin trophy card.
Speaker 5:I know, I Feel like my Like my first one would be my first podium. In short course, it was that Miller Motorsports Park I don't think it's really a thing anymore. It was in Utah and it was just like such a big accomplishment and I just felt like I'd put everything together, like I had all the puzzle pieces, but I just like I put it all together and figured it out finally, and so I was like I feel like that was a big milestone. But then I also feel like I Got.
Speaker 5:I kind of got thrown into the mint 400 as my first race ever in desert. I did no pre-running, because I can't miss school. Yeah, um I, although my dad was my co-driver and like he knows more about the desert even though he's kind of just starting out in desert too, um it, I feel like the mint 400 was a big deal because it was such a long race and I know that, like when I was in the car, my dad was like you want to switch? Like are you sure you want to drive the whole thing, and I was like no, I'm driving the whole thing. Yeah, and so I feel like that was a big accomplishment, even to just finish it, because I know there's so many people that just have struggled with finishing races with certain cars and other issues that that finishing the mint 400 was like a big deal.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't know if you have checked it out, bella, but I remember like I was like I think I was the first person to you guys when you guys and I was like holy shit, they're smoked, like they were toast cuz. Jeremy was like dude, I didn't think we had to go that many laps like Rowan just kept going and he was like we're, so it was like the roughest course ever. And then I was like dude, let me go get you guys a gatorade. It's like holy crap, that's crazy. I was so hungry.
Speaker 5:All I wanted was food. Yeah, this the mint took us, I think to be exact I don't really know the exact number I think it was like eight hours and 40 minutes and I was like, are you sure you want to drive the whole thing? And I was like, yeah, I'm driving the whole thing, like I got it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but you could like finish it. You could like see like we did a video I think it's on ours on our social media channel but, like you could see, like Rowan took off her helmet and she was like Like so dead.
Speaker 5:And my legs were like I couldn't even feel them. Yeah, like I don't. I'm so excited to race long races like that again, because that feeling was like, even though it was so like exhausting, and I was just like starving and I was like, thank god, like we finished. Yeah, I was just like I loved every bit of it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's definitely rough on your body physically and mentally, but like One right, but getting out and like passing the finish line and being like ding, I just I just did 400 miles or I just did. You know like that's, that's worth all of the pain and all of the.
Speaker 5:Yeah, it's worth every bit of it.
Speaker 3:Yeah but now Rowan's gonna tape like 50 granola bars or roof.
Speaker 5:Oh, that's what I do I zip, tied them to my frame all of ours, because my helmet hits my cheeks and it hurts my cheek.
Speaker 3:Apple sauce and, like you said with sarah, like um Uncrustables, oh could you do those goo packets or whatever they are, like the gels.
Speaker 5:I've never tried those, but I also like I would pull into the pit. And my mom was because I don't drink, like I don't like soda, I'm I don't like carbonation, so I had, like I like Sarah said she drinks like a coke or whatever I never like I didn't even think about doing that. I was just drinking water, yeah, and so I'm almost handing me candy. She was handing me sour patch. Yeah, I was anything like I just want any food.
Speaker 2:You have like the most like out-of-pocket snacks in a race day. It's crazy. I don't know if you go from barely eating to eating the biggest dinner after and then yeah, like nobody's nobody's eating like grapes at the off road track, yeah no one. We eat the most horrible processed foods we could find so bad.
Speaker 5:And my dad was like don't drink too much, like be careful, because like at that, point we kind of Cut off drinking before you race, right, that you don't have to get out and go to the bathroom or go to the bathroom in your sea or whatever. Um, and so he was like don't drink too much. Like I want you to be hydrated, but if you drink too much, like you're gonna have to pee every five seconds, right, I was like I won't drink anymore and I just remember eating powdered donuts as my breakfast.
Speaker 3:Yep.
Speaker 5:The way to go powder donuts and crustables.
Speaker 2:It's a crack. It's crazy. So out-of-pocket meals it's insane.
Speaker 3:And uncrustables is like one of the worst possible things you could ever eat in the plant. But they feel so good.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you see.
Speaker 2:I feel like people should make like a, like a racer meal. You know what I mean.
Speaker 3:Oh, like how they do the military yes.
Speaker 2:It's like a company, it's like a meal prep at the track like a meal prep for the track and you take it in the car and you eat it.
Speaker 5:We should that's our idea. Yeah, I'd yeah.
Speaker 3:Hey, so her brother's a good cook.
Speaker 2:Yes, he could do it for us. We can market it, it's perfect.
Speaker 3:And you got your boss lady here marketing.
Speaker 5:I know we're we got this we got it all figured out Well.
Speaker 2:Do you got any questions for?
Speaker 3:no, I'm just having fun where the conversation is going. I know me too the uh like some of the stuff that I think about too. Like when you talk about the goals and stuff we've been talking a lot about, you know how, like instagram versus reality, what are some of the like hardships that you've experienced, like throughout your racing career? Like that is actual reality, not like, uh, something that you had to overcome, I guess would be a better way to put it.
Speaker 5:I feel like I mean, we just race. I mean I've said this a couple times, but we race for fun, so I don't race very often, so I have reality of not at the track going on all the time, and I'm sure everyone else does. Um, I feel like it's just been hard Trying to be able to get to the races.
Speaker 5:Yeah because our family has so much going on. My dad's always traveling for, like, whatever he's doing, my mom and sister are always gone and I just feel like it's hard just being able to get to the races and like Make sure like we have the schedules all put together and like Everything. Like I know you were talking about a vision board. I, we don't really have a vision board. We probably should. Um, we all just like talk about what Our schedule is like, and so I feel like it's just getting everyone's schedule together.
Speaker 3:It's kind of crazy, when you have such a busy life like time management becomes so important, like I hate to say it, but like my iPhone runs my life like I can't. Like. There was times in this last month where I was like triple, quadruple booked because I didn't realize that I had all that stuff going on.
Speaker 3:I was like, oh crap, man, like and it's like I can only imagine if you have all of those, all of the people that have the same kind of schedule, it's got to be very difficult. But what's cool, though, too, is you learn how to work in a team in a team environment like that's rad.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I feel like it's definitely. Racing has taught me a lot, between, like, the big short course team that my dad used to have with, like I feel like there was like 20 mechanics For his truck, and then Brock Hager was also on our team for A truck, and then he raised a yamaha, and then my sister and I both had trophy trucks, and so there was like a lot going on. So I feel like I was like also regulating like your stress levels and everything around you in order to, as like, be prepared as best as you can.
Speaker 3:Actually, since you were so young when you kind of saw all that stuff where you just like man, my parents are putting in so much effort and they're managing it like, you, learn a lot from that.
Speaker 5:Yeah, so I was nine when I got my first junior car. I got a junior two for my ninth birthday.
Speaker 3:Oh wait, I just noticed what shirt she has on. What shirt is that?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 5:So I was nine when I got my truck. I don't think I raced a race, probably until at least nine and a half, maybe 10. Um, I feel like I learned a lot from short course. Short course is not easy. Yeah, it's not at all. Everyone's like oh, you have like 10 laps, like you just have to finish it With that. It's that young on the track, it's a mess dude, it's like MMA with four wheels, though. What'd you say?
Speaker 3:It's like MMA with four wheels, like it's an all-out battle.
Speaker 5:I had one specific crash that I fully remember, the one and only time I flipped a short course car. We were going into the first turn at Glen Helen of the first lap and I think I don't remember if it was the first or second day of racing and I had gone pretty good qualifying. I feel like I was like probably fifth or seventh and we go first turn and I get taken out. I flipped three barrel rolls, one on the ground, one in the air and then one back on the ground to my wheels, luckily, yeah, and you didn't go like in that ditch.
Speaker 5:No, yeah, I was like right on the inside.
Speaker 3:Dang.
Speaker 5:Like my front wheels, like the inside, like barrier. Yeah, my front wheels were inside the track and then my back wheels were still on the track.
Speaker 3:Holy crap.
Speaker 5:So I was like the dirt pile that shows where the track is and I just like I wasn't hurt at all. I was like my mom was freaking out yeah, it's always the mom's the freak out, are you okay, are you okay? And I was like my radio unplugged when I flipped and so I was like trying to find my radio thing as they're trying to get me back on the track and I was like I'm fine, like I promise you I'm fine, and then I kept going and I feel like I finished the race ninth of 25, I think. But it was just like.
Speaker 5:I feel like racing teaches you how to keep going, like in a situation. Like most kids I feel like they get hurt in a sports game or something and, despite how bad the like incident is or whatever, like a lot of kids take a little break or don't go back in that game or wait till a couple more days to play again. I feel like if you crash in racing, like you're just put back out there and you got to finish, yeah, and I feel like that's almost like the best way to be because it just teaches you like you just got to keep going, no matter what.
Speaker 3:Like the never give up mentality.
Speaker 5:Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3:Yeah, See, those are the things that I think really actually like make a person right Like you're. Well, your dad knows this, and a lot of motocross guys say this is you don't win championships on your best days, you win them on your worst days.
Speaker 5:And because that's a life lesson in itself, right Like it makes you the person that you are 100% and I feel like my dad's always been there with like the advice, because obviously he went through it in a different sport not that different but a little bit different and he was on such a strict schedule and like everything and crashing and I feel like Moto guys get her all the time and luckily he got pretty good at not hurting himself. But I feel like he always had advice as to like what to do in certain situations and I appreciate it yeah.
Speaker 2:Helped a lot. Yeah, that's where, like the whole you know racing with your family comes in. Is you take from them, you learn from them, you know and be being willing to learn from them, like I raised with my brother and, yeah, I can get a little messy and we argue, but you know, I'm grateful for it at the end of the day because he helps me 100%.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I'm sure I can't imagine being in the car with my sister, obviously like it would be so much fun, but it would be a lot at the same time. And we did race each other in short course, so she, she was in the same class as I was and it was definitely a battle. Once he got off the track, like, oh, I did better than you. No, you didn't, and so it was like it was definitely a family. And if we, if we couldn't make it like we always were watching other people that made it to the track and everything else, and I feel like it was always so fun like seeing everyone there, because I like hopes. You come and they're like, oh right, like I wish you're here or I'm so glad, like to be racing you. No one really. I feel like there's some people, but no one really has bad blood. I feel like everyone's just friends and wants the best for each other.
Speaker 2:So in most sports there's, like you know, you always have some teams where they don't get along or, you know, or just people that wish for your downfall, basically. But I feel like racing's, I mean it has its spiffs, but it's definitely a more clean sport than most because you know everyone's just kind of there for each other.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I agree, I feel like definitely learning in like team sports, playing lacrosse and everything that, like my high school has a rival school. I feel like every high school has that and you like we just had our rival boys football game and so I feel like after that everyone's like pissed at each other and there's gonna be this and there's that. But I feel like in racing, like if something happens, like if you really need to like talk about it with each other, but that's racing, like that's how it goes, and I feel like everyone kind of understands that now. So it's like it makes it fun with everyone because everyone's friends, right?
Speaker 2:We're more humble than most.
Speaker 3:Well, I think it has a lot to do with the level of I don't know danger in it, because like you already know that there's like all kinds of danger in it, so you respect the same level that other people have to.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because they're willing to get in the car and give it their all to you. Right.
Speaker 5:And I feel like it takes so much to prepare for these races where, like, everyone has respect for each other and like they want each other to do well, because everyone puts in so much time and money and work and everything into this, that it's like you get to the race and you don't want anyone like not finishing Right, you don't wish on a person to break apart, or yeah, yeah?
Speaker 3:Hey. So there's one thing that I wish. I will hope that Rowan will ask you next time when she figures out what college she's going. Send a message to Bella and be like hey, can I come on the Dirt Life Show and talk about what I'm going to?
Speaker 5:do next.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 5:Okay, I definitely will. I'll probably. I feel like decision decision day is like somewhere in like March, maybe Soon it's coming up. It's really it's really scary yeah.
Speaker 3:I was going to say like are you nervous right now?
Speaker 5:I'm terrified.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because that's like, that's a lot, like that's the rest of your life.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the next thing is life.
Speaker 5:Yeah, and it's not that like like the major and like everything that I want to do in work. It doesn't matter what college I go to, like whatever one, I'm going to get a good experience in business, business management, marketing, sports marketing, everything like that. So I feel like it's not more. It's not much about the education part of it, it's more about just like like I'm picking where I am living for the next four years, yeah, and so I feel like it gets stressful and like I feel like I overthink it for sure, and like you pick roommates, you are going somewhere where you probably don't know anyone, yeah, like it puts you in a very like vulnerable and like scary situation and I know all of them, I know eventually, and like I know I'm going to be really homesick.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I feel like it's the anticipation though that's getting to you, because I feel like once you like know your path, you're going to be like all right, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 5:I feel like once I pick where I'm going and like have everything figured out and like a roommate and everything, I feel like it'll get more exciting. But right now I'm just like it's really scary. Yeah, I just took my ACT last week, or wait, last Saturday, not it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, no, I'm not an under pressure kind of person.
Speaker 5:I mean I guess I am, but when it comes to like tests and stuff, I feel like in like a racing or sports aspect, like put me under pressure and I'm probably better than I would be if I wasn't under pressure. But in like, say, the ACT, like it's hard doing so many questions in a certain amount of time and it like you see the timer at the front of the room that you're taking it in. You're just like, oh no, yeah, oh gosh, oh gosh.
Speaker 3:So one of Bella's previous guests, hailey Han, just commented in and she's a little bit ahead of what you are right now, rowan, and she said agreed that it gets better as you just dive in. But I feel like that's like all of you, hailey included like you're racers, like you just want to get out there on track and just like go, go, go.
Speaker 5:Right, yeah, and I'm sure, like I feel like there's enough of racing in the world that like I'll find someone at my college, wherever I end up, that knows something about racing, and so then I can like relate with someone on some level, on certain levels. But I feel like I'm also a normal kid at the same time. Like I played ball sports just like everyone else. I like I go to public school just like everyone else, and so I've grown up with like a pretty normal childhood, not including, like going to the track all the time with my family, but if you take that out of it, like I have a very normal childhood.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I my parents said I had to finish school. I was not going home to school. I've begged, begged and begged. I wanted to go home to school so bad, because I was like I just want to be at the track, I just want to like hang out with all my friends from the track and everything. I begged to do that. But I feel like going through public school has like, while being a racer, has taught me so many lessons and so many things that I can use in my future.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I love that. That's like so cool to see.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think it's definitely. You got a bright, bright future ahead of you, for sure.
Speaker 3:But that, that bright future, is what I want to know about. So I know, yeah, you guys definitely got to keep in touch. You guys will probably go to Starbucks like before you guys move, but like definitely let us know, because I would really like to see where you're going to go to college and kind of get a lay of the land because I'm sure it'll be posted on my Instagram or something I'll figure out.
Speaker 5:Yeah, It'll take a minute, but I'll I'll find my decision.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 100%. Wherever you go is wherever you were meant to be, so.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I agree on that. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 2:Well.
Speaker 3:What else you got?
Speaker 2:I think that was it. I wanted to know what is your upcoming race Like? What do you got next? That's going on, so.
Speaker 5:Winter months are pretty busy for us. Okay, so I'm going to end up, hopefully, racing the mint again, and then what's next?
Speaker 5:I think I'm trying to race KOH. Okay, and I'm excited about that because that's a new one and I've I've seen, like I've been out there while my dad races and the desert out there is so fun. I don't know which race at KOH I would do. I have to still figure out the details and everything. I think my dad's going to race the big race, like the rock one, I don't even. I don't know what it's like, the main one, right, but I don't know which one I'm racing yet. But I'm really excited for that because I could be in a new place, right.
Speaker 3:Dude, so gnarly, yeah, no, that's definitely my highlight of the year.
Speaker 5:Second semester of senior year. Yeah, it's okay Right.
Speaker 3:You got it all planned out already.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. Well, that's all the questions I got.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think you're doing a great job at your whole life, rowan, so keep it up.
Speaker 2:Thank you Definitely. To wrap it up, is there anyone that you would like to thank for you know, your sponsors, anyone that just supports you in general?
Speaker 5:Yeah, I would like to thank my mom and my dad and my sister, of course, like they're always there to support me. Um my dad's like buddies that help us out at the track, scott Bell, carl, everyone else. Um Maxis Kawasaki for the cars, baha Designs, armorsport, blue Media, ngenice, rugged Radios and yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Dude. Yeah, she's got a lot of cool people.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 3:All right, good luck, rowan.
Speaker 2:Yeah, thanks so much. Thank you Thank you Bye, bye.
Speaker 3:It was so cool. This was a really good show, though I know One of the things that I liked the most about this was that, uh, I guess it kind of all had I don't know what you want to call it one main theme, yeah, and that was people that are focused, that are goal-oriented, yeah, and all of them are thriving because of a lot of the stuff that they've learned in racing, and in off-road racing specifically, like they've all done a lot of different little things, right, yeah, but they're all kind of I don't know on the same path as the way that you and I think. Right, they're focused on being better human beings and then being better at the things that they want to be at.
Speaker 2:Right, they all have like a good mindset and, you know, willing to learn and willing to grow, and I think that's really important.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they're not closed-minded. That's a good point to bring up.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 3:All right, so, um, let's thank the sponsors again, and then we'll get the heck out of here.
Speaker 2:Well, motool, obviously, um KMC for their amazing products and EVO Power Sports for giving us power.
Speaker 3:Yeah, evo Power Sports has a lot of power too.
Speaker 3:Yes, they've been doing some cool stuff too. Yeah, um, so they do have tunes for your, um, what they call it the Maverick R, they got some for your Pro-R, they got exhaust, all kinds of different stuff.
