Galion, OH - 9/15/07- Short Track Race - We went to the Sunset Ramblers MC to race the short track, with temperatures in the mid 60’s and windy it made for a chilly day and cool night of racing. In practice the track was a little dry & hard, but as the night progressed with help from the water wagon it became moist and somewhat tacky. I rode the JET Racing CRF150RB in the 125cc class and in that heat I was second off the line and I ended up second. In the 85cc class I rode the JET Racing CR85 and in the heat I got the hole-shot and in turn 2, JR Addison, my teammate got under me and passed me. But then he went high going into turn 3 and I went under him in turn 4 and took the lead back. I was able to hold him off to finish 1^st. I rode the JET Racing CRF150RB in the open-am class and in that heat I got caught up in traffic off the start and ended up 3^rd. In the 125 main JR got the hole-shot I got off the line in 2^nd and finished 2^nd. In the 85cc main I got the hole-shot and JR fell in turn 2, but he was OK and able to make the restart. On the restart I got the hole-shot again, and pulled out to finish up 1st. In the open-am main I started in 4^th and had a really good race with JR for 3^rd. I tried everything I could, the inside, outside, high side & the low side and ended up 4^th with JR in 3^rd. I had a lot of fun in Galion, the track was awesome and the crew did a great job.

I want to thank all of my sponsors and the Sunset Ramblers MC for a great day of racing.

Norwalk, OH 9-8-07 We went to Norwalk, OH to race the ½ mile track at the Huron County fairgrounds. I got to ride the JET Racing CR85 and the JET Racing CRF150R. I rode in the 85cc class and the 100cc class. It was a cloudy day and it looked like it was going to rain. In the 85cc heat race I got a good start, got passed twice and ended up 3^rd.I came back and hopped onto the 150, in that class I still got an ok start and ended up 4^th. Right before I went out for the 85 main it started to rain, we had a 1-hour rain delay and after that the track was perfect. In the 85 main I got the whole shot and got passed 3 times so I ended up 4^th. In the 100 main I was second off the line and ended up 4^th. Over all it was a good day of racing and I had a lot of fun. We were supposed to race again on Sunday but got rained out. A big thank you to Dave Martin & his crew for putting in a great event.

In the 100cc class heat I got the hole shot and won. In the open amateur heat I finished 2nd.The turn out was very small so the program went very fast We put a pair of Vortex flat track bars on the JET Racing CRF150R and I really liked them, they really made the bike easier to control. In the 85 main I started in second and finished second to teammate JR Addison. In the 100 main I was the first one to turn one and the first one to the finish line. In the open amateur main I had a good battle with Casey McCammon and finished 3rd.

8-24-07 Lawrenceburg, IN We went to Lawrenceburg Speedway to race the short track Friday night. I had a lot of fun because this was my first short track since the nationals and seen some friends we had not seen in a while. I ran the JET Racing CR85 in the 80cc class & the JET Racing CRF150R in the 125cc class. In both heats I finished in 2^nd place. For the mains I was mainly concentrating on getting a good start and not shifting. In the 80cc main I got the hole-shot & held the lead for the first lap before getting passed. I was able to hold 2^nd place & put some pressure on the leader but could not make the move. On the 150 I started in 2^nd place & was all over the leader but he held his line & I wasn’t able to make the pass on the outside. It was a good night of racing & I can’t wait to go back to Lawrenceburg Speedway, it’s a good track run buy a great crew.

A very special thanks to all of my sponsors:

Check out the AMA website for more info:

I want to say thanks to all of my sponsors and the AMA staff for an awesome week of racing.

7-6-07 DuQuoin, IL - AMA Sports Black Cat Gold Dirt Track Grand National Championships - We started the week off with a 1/2-mile race on Monday. My first class was the 85cc MOD 7-11, I finished 4th in the main, not a bad start considering there were 22 riders in the class and only 12 went to the main. Next up was the 65cc MOD 7-11, I got a decent start and was running third on the first lap. I quickly moved to second and then I had to work for it but was able to take the lead heading to the white flag, holding it to the checkered. With another fourth place in the 85cc DTX 9-13 we were off to a good start. On Tuesday we ran the indoor Short Track, again first up was the 85cc MOD 7-11. I made the main and finished 10th. Next in the 65cc MOD 7-11 I started on the outside and ended up finishing fourth in the main. In the 85cc DTX 9-13 I was running mid pack in the main when I got hit from behind causing me to high-side and then got hit again when I was down. The race was red flagged and I was headed to the hospital with a big cut the front of my thigh. It took 15 stitches to sew it up. Luckily we had Wednesday off so I had a day to recoup. Thursday morning we headed to the TT track and decided to drop the 85cc DTX class and ride conservatively in the 65cc MOD and 85cc MOD to gain some points for the overall title. After a major rain delay things went well in practice, my leg was not a problem at all, but I was still concerned about getting hit and/or going down again. The 85 was a hand full in the tight sections and I didn't make the main in the 85cc MOD. In the 65cc MOD it was a different story I got a direct transfer to the main and was on the front row for the start. I knew my best chance was to get a good start and ride smooth. When the light turned green I pulled the hole-shot only to have the red flag come out after another rider went down in the first turn. On the restart I did it again, got the hole-shot, but was passed by Thomas Goodnick in turn three. I settled, focused on being smooth and held my lines. It worked I held on to second place and gained a 5 point lead heading to the final day. Friday was our final day and we were back on the 1/2 mile track, my favorite.  I was feeling good and my stitches were not an issue so we signed up in both 85 classes again, but I was really after the 65cc MOD overall title. Practice was good and we skipped the second 85 practices to conserve energy in the 90-degree heat. I won both my 85cc class heats, but struggled a bit in the 65cc class with Wyatt Anderson finishing second to him by only inches. In the 85cc MOD 7-11 main I was on the outside of the front row for the start and got bumped going into turn one falling back to 7^th place. I was able to work my way back up to 5^th by the finish. In 85cc DTX I got the hole-shot and lead them down the back straight on the first lap. Ryan Wells passed me in turn three and then Tyler Butts moved up to mix it up with us. We raced hard and passed each other several times but when it counted Butts was the first one to checkered with me in second and Ryan third. I was excited to make the podium for the first time at the Grand Nationals on the 85cc bike. In the 65cc MOD 7-11 class I had the overall title if I finished in at least second place.  I was going for the win though and when the light turned green I took the lead never looking back until I crossed the finish line 8 laps later. This gave me the 65cc MOD 7-11 AMA Sports Black Cat Gold Dirt Track Grand National Championship.

I want to say thanks to all of my sponsors and the AMA staff for an awesome week of racing.

5-26-07- Canton, OH - Bike Days - On Saturday there was a great turnout with 17 riders in the 85cc class. In my heat race I had a good battle with Ryan Wells, we passed each other several times in four laps and I came out on top with the win. The JET Racing CR85 was running awesome and the track was perfect. In the 100cc class I rode the JET Racing CRF150R for the first time on the half-mile and I finished third in the heat. Then it started to rain and we hade a long delay waiting on the track to dry. In the 85cc main my Cycra Racing Plastics hand guards really worked well at keeping the roost off as I was running in second to Ryan on the first lap. I was having trouble getting the front wheel to slide on the wet tacky track and slipped to third place by the finish. In the 100cc class I got a good start and was leading into turn one but Ryan got around me and I finished 3^rd. On Sunday there was 14 riders in the 85cc class and in my heat I got the hole-shot but finished 2^nd. In the 100cc class I rode the JET Racing CR85 and I hesitated on the start of the heat race, which cost me the hole-shot. I was second into turn one and held on to finish 2^nd. In the 85cc main I got a good start and raced hard to finish 3^rd. In the 100cc main I got the hole-shot and was in the lead for two laps before slipping up in turn three and falling back to finish 2^nd. I got some great half–mile practice for the national’s and had a lot of fun. The Bike Days crew did a great job of prepping the track and running a smooth program.

A very special thanks to all of my sponsors.

5/18-20/07 Greenville, IL – AMA Sports North Central Nationals - Friday night we had open practice on the Short Track and things went great. I got the JET Racing CR85 dialed in and must have ran about 100 laps. On Saturday morning we ran the Short Track race and although the turn out was low the competition was tough. In the heat races I was struggling with my starts but I managed to pull off the win in both 85cc classes. In the Short Track mains my starts didn’t improve much but I still managed to take the win in both the 85 DTX and the 85 MOD 7-11. Saturday evening it was the TT race and in the heats my starts still did not improve. It took a last lap pass over the jump to beat JET Racing teammate JR Addison for the win in 85 MOD. I also won the 85 DTX heat after another good race with JR. In the TT mains I finally got the hole-shot, I even got it in both classes and I also won both classes. On Sunday we ran the half-mile, my favorite type of track. In the 85 DTX heat it was JR and I again racing for the top spot, he won I got 2^nd. . We changed gearing before the 85 MOD heat race and that put me a little closer to JR but it wasn’t enough to beat him so I finished 2^nd again. In the Half-mile 85 MOD main I was second off the line to JR, going down the back straight I pulled a draft pass on him and took the lead and the win. In 85 DTX again I had to work my way to the front in order to pull off the win. It was a great weekend of racing; I won the overall #1 plate in both classes and had a lot of fun. A big Thank You to Steve Nace and his crew for putting on an awesome event.

5-12-07 Harpster, Ohio - On Saturday May 12, I went to the Triangle MC to race their hare scrambles and short track. The first race was the hare scramble and I rode my Suzuki RM65 in it. I won my class and got some really good TT practice. On the short track in the 85cc class I rode the JET Racing CR85. In the heat race the track was really rough and deep, I got a bad start and finished 3^rd. In the 100cc class I rode the JET Racing CRF150R and in the heat race coming out of turn 4 I did a super man over the handle bars with a great landing, a face plant and bent the bars. I made the restart and finished 3^rd. In the main on the 85 I got 3^rd and in the 100cc class main I also got 3^rd. The track was starting to groove by the end of the day and I think this will be a great facility once the Triangle MC completes the final stages of construction. Be sure to check out their website at www.ohioflattracksportcenter.com . I had a lot of fun in Harpster and I’m ready for this weekend when we go to Greenville, IL for the AMA Sports North Central Regional.  Jeffery Lowery #23

April 28, 2007 -  Troy, Ohio - The JET Racing team attended an open house at Hidy Honda in Troy, OH. We had our bikes on display and signed autographs.

April 14 & 15, 2007 - Taylorville, Illinois -AMA Sports North Central Nationals Race canceled do to weather. It will be rescheduled.

March 23 & 24, 2007 - DuQuoin, Illinois  - On Friday night open practice we changed a couple things like tire pressure, gearing, and length of forks, we had the JET Racing CR85 & the CRF150 dialed in really good. On Saturday the track had changed a lot it was not as tacky and I had a lot of tire spin. We made some major changes to the tire pressure, thanks to Bobby Lewis (Jake’s Dad), and it really helped. In the 85 short track heat I started third, got to second and caught up to the leader, Jake. I tried to set him up for a pass but I did not have enough time so I finished second. In the main I got a really bad start from the front row & couldn’t pass anyone so I finished 6^th.In the 200 short track heat I finished 4^th. I had trouble getting a pull out of the corner. In the main I got 7^th from a second row start. In both short track races the competion was tuff and we were all together running three or four wide at times, it was a lot of fun. In the 85 TT heat the track was really slick but I still got 3^rd.. The 85 TT main was a good race and I finished 3^rd. This was my best finish so far on the 85 at DuQuoin. I need to practice my starts and I know that would really help a lot on the short tracks. I’ll be ready for my next race in Taylorville, IL.                                                                        Jeffery Lowery #23  

February 2007: Jeffery rides on the ice for the first time and we had a blast! We got together with JET Racing teammates Wadeo Ward & JR Addison for a couple of weekends of practice & training on the Addison's pond.

Jeffery's on the #53 & JR on the other.

January 12 & 13, 2007 - DuQuoin, Illinois  - Friday night open practice went well. This was the first time I got to ride the new JET Racing CRF150RB lowered and on a track. I really like the 4 strokes, they have a lot of bottom end. My 65 and 85 also rode well. I also got to ride Nick’s 65MOD bike, which was awesome. What I am really proud of my dad for guessing gearing we did not have to change it all night. The track got really slick at the end and I slid out on the 150. Saturday I did good until I fell in the 65 ST main, I was running 3^rd when I fell there was 15 and I had to start in the back on a singe file restart still finished 7 out of 2 laps. When I fell that time that is when my dad took off running and fell, he bruised a rib.  Finishing 2^nd in my 85 ST heat gave me a front row start and helped me finish 5^th out 18 in the main.  My TT finishes could have been better but overall it was a lot of fun and good racing.                           Jeffery Lowery #23  

January 2007: This will be Jeffery’s last season on the 65cc bike, he will start with a few indoor races and then we’ll go to the nationals again seeking championships and above all fun! He will continue to compete on the 85cc bike and nurture the skills that will enable him to reach his ultimate goal of turning pro.  Flat Track will continue to be his main focus with MX and off-road mixed in for versatility.

With Saturday's inclement weather delaying the start the finals were cancelled & the results were based on the heat race finishes. With a margin of .05 seconds Jeffery gets the win over Tyler Butts, the other heat race winner. The 100cc class saw Jeffery & Tyler at it heads-up with Jeffery coming out on top. A first in the 65cc class capped off a perfect day with three wins. On Sunday with three class championships in the bag Jeffery went into cruise mode, pulling off another win on the 65cc bike over teammate Wade "Crazyo" Ward. A third in the 85cc & a second in the 100cc finished off the weekend on a fun note.
