GOALS & OBJECTIVES

My name is Andrew Zabzdyr (pronounced: ZADER) and I road race motorcycles. This year I'm racing my Honda RS150R with SCminiGP in the Pro GP and Pro Extreme classes and with WERA West in the Formula 80 class. In 2011 I plan to race a Suzuki SV650 with WERA and within the next few years I will be ready to race professionally in the AMA Pro Racing Series.

BIO

I began racing in March 2007, when I was 10, by taking the Youth Intro course with SCminiGP. It was a fun course where I rode a bike for the very first time. It was a Blata 2.6 pocketbike. After completing the Youth Intro Course my parents bought me my own Blata 2.6 and riding gear. My very first race I went out and crashed on the warm up lap. The EMTs came out to get me and check on my condition. I was ok and a little nervous to race after that first crash, but my parents got me back on the bike and I was glad. That first year was a lot of fun. I raced the Blata Cup with SCminiGP and I made many new friends. I learned a lot about motorcycles racing the 2.6, including how to crash. It was always fun racing and hanging out with my new friends. I finished on the podium the last 2 races of the year.

In 2008 I raced a Blata Elite 14 JR in the Semi-Pro Junior class with SCminiGP. The 14JR is much faster than the 2.6. I practiced in the off season and came out and lead the first race of the year. I was so happy to be doing so well right off the start. Having mastered the Blata 2.6, I spent much of my downtime at the track helping the Blata Cup riders. I would ride with them and show them lines and braking and turning points. It was fun helping other riders get better. I finished 2nd in the Semi-Pro Junior championship and received the SCminiGP Rider Mentor award for helping out the Blata Cup Riders. It was another fun year of racing!

For 2009 I continued racing my Blata 14JR and I stepped up to a 2004 Honda NSR50R. The NSR was a fun bike as I was learning the finer points of shifting and riding a bike with suspension. I continued racing with SCminiGP and SMRRC and both organizations are great. I really enjoy racing with my friends and I hope to continue racing for a long time.

I want to thank my sponsors, my parents, and everyone else who has helped me along the way. I really appreciate their support which allows me to continue doing what I love;
Racing Motorcycles!
