~ Jordan Trafford ~ NEORVCA's 2004 and 2005 Junior ATV Points Champion ~
A series of consistent top 4 finishes over the course of the season allowed Jordan to back up his 2004 Points Championship with the 2005 Championship. A series of problems with the old E-ton 90 led to it's retirement half way thru the season and Jordan moving up to race Dad's 250 Timberwolf. A trip to the US Nationals in July netted an impressive 3rd place finish on a borrowed bike. Thanks again to Jay Portenga's crew....
On November 19, 2005 Jordan earned his Black Belt in Shaolin Kempo Karate at the tender age of 10 years. |

~ NEORVCA's 2004 Junior ATV Points Champion ~
Jordan started the 2004 race season with a pair of strong finishes. A 4th on June 7th and a 3rd on June 27th put him in 3rd in the points chase.  The 3rd place finish was hi-lighted with a near perfect .502 light and a 10.620 break-out on a 10.65 dial-in. He then backed up his points effort with a hard earned win on July 25th and a 2nd place finish at the Fall Nationals on Septeber 12. Wins on October 3rd at Rochester, NH and again on October 17 moved Jordan into 1st in points to secure his first points championship. |

The 2003 season was a good one for Jordan with 6 top 5 finishes placing him 5th overall in points just 1 point out of 4th and 2 points out of 3rd place. The season was hi-lited with a trip in June to Newtown Dragway in Virginia for the ASDA Summer Nationals. A series of runs with near perfect reaction times and very consistent times resulted in a 2nd place finish. |

Jordan began his racing career in 2002 at 6 years old. His first bike was a 2002 Dinli 50cc quad. The bike was modified by Mike Abbott of XS-Power Sports with changes to the intake system, shaved head and clutch work.
Jordans 2nd race ever was at  the ASDA US Nationals in Mears Michigan where Jordan won his first run and broke out on his 2nd pass against Aaron Maimer. |
