Next we have my buddies grandson Travis Petton IV also born and raised in Ramona :) 

Travis is a 4th generation flat tracker and has 8 track championships in Socal starting in 2009 at age 4. This 12 year old just got back from the AMA Amateur Nationals in DuQuoin Illinois where he was crowned the AMA Amateur 250 DTX National champ #1 plate holder. In addition Travis just picked up help from Yamaha under their bLU cRU program. He has 4 more years until he can go pro but competes locally at non-sanctioned races with AMA/AFT pros and wins or podiums on a regular basis riding a 250 while the pros are on 450's.
