2002 NJ State Championship Results! (August 24th, 2002)
2002 NJ State Champion - 2NJ. That's what Cory's number plate will read for the rest of the 2002 and all of 2003 season. Cory improved on his state ranking of 3rd in 2001 by moving up to an impressive and well earned 2nd place for 2002. This ranking puts him just one position away from his ultimate goal of ranking 1st in the state. It was a hard fought 2002 state series and we can't be more proud of his achievements. He battled fiercely right down to the end but came up just a bit short this year of his ultimate goal. He's super stoked to be sporting a top 3 ranking for the 2nd season in a row and as always, Cory is determined to improve again next year and insists that his hard work start now! A true champion, a true winner and a sure threat everytime he takes to the track, our "power" house is one rocket I wouldn't want to bet against! Great Job Cory and Congratulations on your 2002 NJ State ranking.

State Qualifier results from Hunterdon & Central Jersey! (August 10-11, 2002)
The last two NJ State Qualifiers are now over and now the NJ State Series Championship is the only race left to determine the final rankings in NJ for 2002. In Qualifier #7 at Hunterdon on Saturday August 10th, Cory rocketed to a 2nd place overall finish. Sunday at Central Jersey BMX was a carbon copy with our "Power" house grabbing another awesome 2nd place overall finish, the only exception being that on Sunday, Cory seemed to get faster each moto. In moto #2 Cory pulled along side of 1st place in the next-to-last turn but couldn't hold on at the line for the win. Moto #3 was a different story as this time Cory made a finish line pass to pull off the win. Now all the qualifiers are over and it's Championship time! Be there Saturday August 24th at Egg Harbor BMX.......... See ya on the track!
