Fourth Grader Qualifies For The Amateur National Arenacross

Zach Easter, a
9-year old and fourth grader at Zane Trace Elementary School, has
recently been approved to race in the Amateur National Arenacross
Championship finals on May 7 in Las Vegas.
Easter has honed his talent over the past few years by practicing
on a homemade track at his home in Kingston, Ohio. Placing high at
races in Dayton, Toledo and Louisville put him in the top five in
the East region, giving him the chance to race against the best
Arenacross competitors on 65 cc bikes.
Easter's bike track helped him immensely, as he has been able to
get a wealth of practice that most others do not get.
"That's something not every kid has, which has contributed to his
success," Joe Easter, Zach's father told the Chillicothe
Gazette.
Mr. Easter claimed that his son's skills were also enhanced by
lessons from professional riders who have visited the track.
The Easter family are currently planning their trip to Las Vegas.
Zane's father also said although they all take the races seriously
they also have a lot of fun as well.
