I'll tell my buddy Gus that.

He hasn't been on the street since his first race.

He won 3 Regional and 3 National Amateur titles in his first year.

Now in his 2nd year, he is a constant podium finisher (Expert) with a handful of wins against local track-record holders and a few AMA riders.

You can expect to see him on an AMA grid in the next year or two.

He started on an R1.

And if he had started small, could he have become even faster, sooner? We'll never know. But my guess is yes.

BTW, one in a million. Still a dumb idea for most people.
