Martin won two Grand Championships and five individual titles this year, riding 65cc machines. "When they said the rider was from the Lcdi Cycle Bowl, I knew I won it," Martin said. "This is the biggest day of my life." Growing up racing at the Lodi Cycle Bowl, it's no wonder he looks to Chris Carr, the fourtime GNC Champ and Lodi alum. "Chris is my favorite rider, and he has given me some riding tips: Martin said. Although Martin had success on the limestone half-mile, he prefers the grooved tracks like he races on at home. "It's fun racing on the rocks, but I like real dirt tracks better," Martin said. "I like racing on the short track and IT here because they get a big groove_ "I worked hard for this award," Martin continued. "I'm going to try and get it again next year." 125 MOD: 1.
