Wanting to get everyone's input on the B-Town Showdown this year. Looks like we will be going back to our original format from 2009 with a cash purse, prizes, free ride Thursday the 31 st and comps Friday and Saturday. This is the weekend after memorial day. Who is down??!!
I feel like the event has lacked in some way or the other the past two years, but I plan on changing that.
As some of you know my close friend Dereck Ellsworth was killed on his motorcycle(on the streets) the opening night of the event last year. I had been riding with Dereck since the first time he threw his leg over a bike, and it has been very hard getting all this back into perspective. Dereck left behind two children Memphis his son who is now 1 year old and his daughter Jayden who is 6. From this point forward the B-Town Showdown is going to place a portion of the proceeds from the event into a trust fund that will paid to his kids. I can't imagine growing up in this world not knowing my dad or having his support. I feel this is the least that I can do to carry on his memory. We have big plans in the works for this year and I think everyone will be excited to hear what we have going down. I will release this information as it becomes official!! Lets get down in B-Town!! 2012
