Tim Ferry RacerX Interview -ozzy go-

5 Minutes With...Tim Ferry August 21, 2007
In 1992, a young kid from Florida named Tim Ferry was
announced as the AMA Motocross Rookie of the Year. A
presumed portent of things to come for the kid from
Palm Beach, it was the beginning of what would become
a 15-plus-year-long Odyssey through the sport.
Astonishingly, in a discipline of motorsport not regarded
(not by any means) for its longevity, Ferry is still at
it, and performing at unprecedented levels. Ferry
proved this on Sunday, July 29, 2007 when the Team
Kawasaki rider — hired on by the lime green marquee
at the last second from the modest Moto XXX Honda
team, for whom he had delivered into the top 10 year
n 2006 — won his first AMA National in well over six
years. In fact, the last time Tim Ferry won a National
was on May 13, 2001, when, by riding to 2-2 moto
scores, won the opening round of that year’s series at
Glen Helen Raceway Park in San Bernardino, California.

Then came the 2007 AMA National at Washougal,
Washington, and, strangely, Ferry yet again used 2-2
moto scores to win his fist National since Glen Helen
in 2001. It is now the late summer of 2007. Thus far
this year, Ferry has placed third in the 2007 AMA
Supercross Series, he was just invited to join the
2007 U.S. Motocross of Nations, and now, with just
six motos left to be run, he’s leading the 2007 AMA
Toyota Motocross Championship. All these things
considered, it’s no great stretch to say Tim Ferry, the
consummate professional, is having a dream season.
Today, Racer X spoke with him about it.
