Well I couldn't pick just five questions. So I answered you all. Thanks for the questions. Hope you like your answer.

Where do you see yourself in five years - racing or team owner? What would you like to be involved in with the sport in the future? 

In five years I see myself still racing competitive for championships. I am currently only 31 years old. For some reason people think I'm older than that. When I retire from racing I want to be involved with flat track. I am currently promoting the Lima Half-Mile with my wife, so possibly picking up more venues to promote. I also for the most part managed my own team for most of my career and feel I could manage a team, with rider coaching on the mental and physical side.

What do you consider to be the biggest win of your career and why? 

Well they say you always remember your fist win and for me that is the Lima Half-Mile. I will say winning the Daytona TT this year on the Indian is right there as well. The Grand National wins, I feel you can ask any racer they all have something special about each one.

Where do you think you will finish on the all-time wins list when your racing career is over?

Well the record is 94 wins (Scotty Parker). Boy that is gonna be difficult. I think top three, to top five is doable. Parker and (Chris) Carr racked up a lot of them and it amazes me them guys did what they did. Hats off to them.

I gots a high-speed miss at the low speed and when I whacks it on, it crack off at me. What I do now?

I would cadda po da shine'n wit da jet and put a little crampo squirt through the carby. I would also randle roll da gasy so it don't waddle whack ya offie. Jafeel?????

Do you think the Harleys will improve enough by next season to give the Indians more of a run for their money? 

The XR (750) was good bike for (Sammy) Halbert and (Jeffrey) Carver at some rounds they raced it and it did give us a run when the raced, and Carver won Texas.

How does the Indian motorcycle compare to other you have ridden and does another brand create as much excitement for you?

I have only ridden the XR750 for twins. For me the FTR (750) is a solid platform as it gets the perfect amount of power laid to the ground to excel forward. I never rode a Kawi and I always felt what the Kawi had over the XR750 on the miles was RPM. Well we now have the RPM with the FTR.

When will we see an AFT race in Michigan again?

Not really sure at this point. Michigan has very select tracks that are capable of having a Grand National race. A safe track/great venue is hard to come by in Michigan. If you were going to promote one I would go to Detroit to do it and try to draw from the northern Ohio area as well.

What is the determining factor when a racer is choosing boots for a race between a road-race boot vs. an off-road boot?

For me I like the TCX road racing boot. It provides great protection, but also is light. I use more of an off-road boot for the TT's races for ankle stability. Boots are total personal preference.

Have you ever considered transition to super bikes-roadracing/MotoAmerica?

When I was really young it was a thought in every flat tracker’s mind to make this switch. I believe every flat track racer growing up in the Nicky Hayden age group would be lying if they said they didn't look up to what Nicky Hayden did and how he did it. Lots of the best road racers were flat trackers. For me it was too much of a gamble at the time and when I almost made the switch the bottom started falling out of road racing. Guys like Tommy Hayden and Jake Zemke, were looking for rides. I decided to stay in flat track where I was showing signs of being competitive. Right now, at this point being 31 years old and how good flat track is looking, and what I hear from the riders in MotoAmerica, I'm not looking to make any changes.

What beside the awesome purse draws you to events like Eddie Mulder race at Willow Springs. 

Well I enjoy racing. I am not one to do it just for the pay check, but yes there has to be something there at the end of the day for me to race. I am not interested in the risk for no reward. Also, another draw to Eddie’s race is it’s so laid back and the track is always as best as he can physically make it. It’s also a lot of fun racing OUTLAW style stuff. The rules are: there are no rules. Cut your tire, run whatever you want, bring the biggest baddest thing you got and let’s dance. I’m down for this from time to time.

Who was your racing Idol growing up?

My racing hero was Will Davis. He was riding for Moroneys H-D and I was getting support as an amateur from Moroneys at the time. I remember racing Will at an outlaw race in Amelia, Virginia. I was able to beat him and he was pumped for me. Will was just a first-class dude and just always loved the way he was.

I always admired Nicky Hayden, as all of us did. He was a leader and no matter how much he succeeded in racing he always remembered where he came from.

I wouldn't say Chris Carr was my hero, but would say when the man was talking throughout my career I was always listening.

Why don't some riders like cushion tracks?

I would say same reason why cushion riders don't like slippery clay tracks. Most riders like what they are good at.

How has becoming a father changed your outlook on racing and your career?

Becoming a father, I will admit made me nervous. People said your life would change. I’ll be honest I was very happy with the life I was having. Now I can't see my life without Hayden (my daughter) and life changed for the better. I have a great wife who does an amazing job and understands what I need to do on a weekly basis. She allows me to have the time I need to prepare for racing. It hasn't changed anything except for a couple long nights and knowing that college isn't cheap so I better get on the gas.

Can I take your Indian for a couple hot laps? 

Sure, for 50K you can spin as many laps as you want my man.

What was the biggest obstacle you had to overcome this season?

Honestly the season went very smooth. We came prepared every weekend. I would say mentally, Lima jumping the start. I just can't believe to this day I still did that.

What did you think of the (Buffalo Chip) Sturgis TT this season?

I felt the Sturgis TT was a challenge. It was difficult to pass, it was different, but at the end of the day pretty BAD ASS. The good side of things is that we raced in front of thousands of people who had zero clue what flat track was. I would like to have a shot at adding something to it. I feel actually some berms might make things spicy and give riders an option. When you have flat corners, we are gonna hug the inside. Years ago at the castle rock TT we had a right hander with a berm. It was about the only place to pass and we made passes there. The only thing I would like to add is places to make it more of show which means passing.
