Justin Quinn
Dad: Jim
I've always wanted to do something that had either 2 or 4 wheels and a motor. It all started out because I always wanted to go to races with my dad, so he made me a deal, that if I could ride my bike without training wheels, then he would buy me my first dirtbike..we had a little hill in our front yard, so I took my training wheels off my bicycle, I would push it up the hill and would go from there, 2 weeks before my 4th birthday I was riding my bike, I didn't think my dad though I could do it........and a deal was a deal so for my birthday I got my first dirtbike. KTM 50, I still remember that special day............... I started my racing career at the young age of 4, I started racing Motocross, my dad had raced motorcycles his entire life and I would go crazy every time he would leave for a race without me, my mom would have to bring me out there so he could give me a ride on the front of his motorcycle when he was done, I was hooked, I went on to win several Arizona State Championships in the 50, 60, and the 85 class, I traveled to all of the National Amateur Championships, had a great great time, met a lot of grat people and recieved a lot of support, then at the age of 9 I went on to race Go Karts, my dad felt it would be a little easier on my bones, we were lucky enough to get hooked up with some great suport and helped me win several championships, the tough thing is I was racing 80 shifters and wanted to move up to the 125 class, but because I was only 13 and not 16 they would not let me, even though we raced with them and I beat most of them in my 80, they said no, I didnt want to wait several years just to race a 125, what do I do, we had a decision to make, while we were racing GO Karts, several of my friends (fellow racers) went on to dirt racing (Mini Sprints), but we went a different direction, we started racing UTV's, we bought a Yamaha Rhino and I won the first race I entered, because of that, I recieved sponsorships from the top suppliers in the Industry, with there help I went on the win the RRL Championship and several desert races...........ok now is where my dirt track racing started, we bought a Mini Sprit and because we already knew some of the racers, my learning curve was shortened, won AMMA rookie of the year, and in 2009 went on to win the AMMA Non Wing Championship. Currently I'm racing ASCS Canyon Region, 360 Non Wing Sprint Car and having a blast, I'm very lucky to have a great great support team already in place.
