Blake Wharton Says Goodbye to the Texas Amateurs
Factory Connection Amsoil Honda Amateur Champion Blake Wharton rode off on his steel
horse into the Decatur, Texas sunset with three National Championship
Titles from the 2008 Vurbmoto.com
Grand National Championship at Oak Hill MX Park.
After
taking the 17-24 College Boy Championship Title at the 2008 Parts Unlimited Spring
Classic at Lake Whitney MX Park the week before, Blake went to
work winning the 125 Pro, 250 A Modified and the 250 Pro Championships in what
would be his final Amateur races in his home state of Texas. Domination is the only word that
can sum up Blake’s final races at Oak Hill MX. An enthused Blake quoted:
“Since I am Texas born it is always so exciting to
win in my home State. I am going to miss racing here but I look forward to my
professional career and seeing everyone at Supercross and Motocross”.
As the
reigning 2007 Amateur Rider of the Year and 2007 FIM Junior World Motocross
Champion, Blake Wharton has high expectations this year and wants to
build upon the success of 2007, riding with the same intensity that won him 30
plus National Championship Titles last year into his debut into the professional
ranks in the AMA Toyota National Motocross Championships later this year.
Blake finished by saying:
“I am looking forward to turning professional this year
and translating my Amateur success into professional success”.
If his
last Amateur races in his home state of Texas are any clue to his future
success, the translation will be easy.
