Personal History
Hello. Please allow me to introduce myself, Buddy Garrett Herring, ll. I race for Team Wild Hog Racing.
I am Bud Herring and I am 18 years old. I have blond hair and Blue eyes. I have been riding for fun since I was 4. I started racing in 2008. I race #43 on a 2016 Kawasaki kx 250F in 250 A this year. I also race the Open Pro Sport class on a 2015 Kawasaki Kx 450F.
I love to wakeboard in the summer and snowboard in the winter. We like to hunt and camp too. I love going to the races and giving it our all.
Riding Goals
I want to get faster. I want to finish in the top 5 at all my races.
I am planning on trying to reach the nationals for Lorettas by qualifying at a regional qualifier in some region. If I do well at the Regionals, I would love to qualify for the national! I plan to hit several amateur nationals this year including silver dollar vurb classic and mini os.
