It’s very impressive to see a child carry
an attribute of consistency in any form, whether it’s behavioral traits, educational matters, and in this case, race results at a motocross event. All it takes is a thought of “Where should I build my next pit bike track? Or, “Who took my RC Car?” and wham, yellow flags are flying and the young rider is in need of assistance.
That’s why the results of Haiden Deegan were so impressive at the Freestone National. He remained steadfast and focused, sweep- ing both of the 65cc 7-9 divisions, and placing second amongst the big boys, with 1-2 scores in the 65cc 7-11 class. He even competed in the almighty 85 Junior division as one of the youngest in the group, with a respective 11th place overall. Having a mini Supercross track at his disposal, many suspect Deegan to be a star in the professional series if things go his way. And by the look of things today, his path is looking to propel him towards a promising career.
