Hunter Coffin’s a busy kid these days – almost as busy as his dad. Danny coffin threw down a wrench and picked up a pen (err keyboard) and send us the weekend update you see below. Read on…

Race weekend filled with fun and family. 15 family members and 11 friends showed up, WOW!!!

Hunter’s start in racing was here at Firebird but it was on the Bondurant Kart track on Pocketbikes. Awesome memories of adults and kids, grids up to 45 plus people. Funny back then pocketbikes GRC RR’s, Gianninni’s, DM’s cost 2-4K on average from basic set ups to full Titanium frames, 2.5 hp-15 plus hp. We ran 4-6 at any givin time (Man I’d love to have the money we spent now) But looking back wouldn’t change a thing.

Once again, very proud of Hunter this past race weekend. Running his OutLaw Racing sponsored RS450R having a blast.

Normally we always make it a point to get Hunter to sleep early before a race but we were traveling and that just didn’t happen. Saturday came and his good nights sleep was crammed into 2 hrs. Never been to Firebird East we told him to cruise and have fun, so he did. Hunter instantly liked the track and rode with Andre Ochs most of the day which meant more fun. Hunter knows he’s there to practice and race and he does take it seriously but throw in the best Youth Road Racers in the country Andre Ochs, Tyler Linders, Joe Roberts, Lex Hartl and Peter Lenz, to Hunter you got a party.

Everything was great all day Saturday then 4 o’clock came, qualifying time. The lack of sleep took its toll, Hunter was drained. I told him it was fine not to go out but he insisted he would be fine. I told him to try his best and to get a good lap or 2 in and we’ll take whatever it is. He stayed out the whole session and was looking suprisingly solid. Nearly getting sick when he came in I asked him why he didn’t come in and he said, we’ll I wasn’t sure I got a good lap in. Ended up being the fastest in qualifying 59.8 sec. over a second faster than the next.

Sunday’s races were great and Hunter was ready for more fun. He took 3 1st places, USGPRU Moto 3, CCS Ultralite Superbike and CCS Lightweight Superbike.

Not only had a great time with family and friends but as always Michelle and myself love being around the young racers in the pits. Great attitudes, incredibly funny and a pleasure to be around. Great reflection on all the parents.

Take Care everyone, Danny
