We’re beginning to look like a real race team.
Shirts, caps, tent, “bold new graphics”. And it looks like we may add a second rider. Chris Taylor had shown promise on the Southwest Motor Sports team for 1993. At 18 he looked to be following in the footsteps of Colin Edwards. Unfortunately, by the second race (Phoenix) he decided he wanted a team that wasn’t quite so “grass roots”. So he moved on to Dutchman Racing. Such are the growing pains of a new team.

The season started off slow, Nick finishing sixth at Daytona, fifth at both Phoenix and Pomona and then fourth at Laguna Seca. But hey, we’re in third place in the points and only three points away from Chuck Sorensen then in second! Things aren’t all bad. In fact, we’re gunning for second! And for the next three races we finished on the podium, 2nd at Mid-Ohio, 2nd at Brainerd and 3rd at Sears Point. We’re pushing but we can’t seem to pass Sorensen in the points. He just seems to get faster each race. We’re down to the last race. Road Atlanta. If we finish ahead of Sorensen by two positions, we have second place for the season. But it wasn’t to be. Chuck ran a flawless race and finished 2nd to Nick’s 5th, Nick ending the season in 3rd behind team mates Rich Oliver and Chuck Sorensen (1st and 2nd respectively).

We gave it our best and came within points of second. It was a great season and we’d made a name for ourselves in racing. Nick wrote articles in the August and December ‘94 issues of Sport Rider Magazine. Now It’s time to plan for ‘95. More power, lighter components, more sponsorship...
