The Torres family truckster is heading back to Tennessee.
Seventeen-year-old Camas motocross rider Alex Torres earned two tickets to the AMA Amateur National Championships, July 26 to Aug. 1, at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch, in Hurricane Mills.
Jose and Jill Torres are looking forward to this road trip with their son before Alex begins his senior year at Camas High School.
“We are going to camp out for a few weeks while we drive across the country. It’s going to be a blast,” Jose Torres said. “This might be our last family vacation before Alex goes off to college. His mother and I are ecstatic to have this special time with him.”
Alex Torres has molded into a stronger, faster and more confident rider. He said it wouldn’t have been possible without support and encouragement from his parents and friends.
“Three or four months ago, I went to a race in California. I wasn’t fit. I couldn’t get through the whole moto without getting tired,” Torres said. “I started working out on the rowing machine, running every day and eating the right food at the right time. Being able to go 100 percent every race has helped me get to where I am now.”
