Matt C Smelcer: Alaska State Championship Winner 

Matt and Simpatico Team Up!

Racing Background

I started riding snowmobiles when I was about 1 year old.  Actually my parents took me riding and I have been riding ever since.  I started racing snow cross in 1999 at a few select events.  I continued racing select events until the 2004 season when I decided to race the entire year and give 110%.  I Won the state championship.

Goals

I am challenged this year to move to the pro class and plan on training hard and competing in the Alaska State championship series as a racer in both the pro stock class and in the pro open mod class.  I intend to give 110% of myself and expect to be a regular top 3 finisher.  By seasons end I want to have another state championship.

Personal

I am always on the go either riding or racing snowmobiles or motorcycles.  I enjoy a challenge and love competition.  It brings out the best in me.  I enjoy free riding with my friends and showing off.  I have a great wife who supports me in all of my racing efforts.  I could not do what I do without her support.
