AMO – Focus: Dylan Kaelin AMO Racing April 12, 2021 Racing This new addition to AMO for members only is a chance to hear your voice, understand who you are, and focus on the 2021 race plan. In a sense, each AMO member is a sponsor of what AMO does. We’re constantly trying to find more support, find sponsors, money, prizes, and whatever I can to enhance the experience for the member. By doing that we sometimes forget the member is the biggest supporter. Without racers and the families that support them, AMO, facilities/tracks, shops, manufacturers, and more wouldn’t be able to survive. So this FOCUS idea is for the member to just share some fun, answer some questions, promote their sponsors, and allow all of us to get a little more personalized to each AMO member. Thank you to each member as we head into the 2021 season.

Where are you from and your birth date? Grand Bend, Ontario. April 30th 1993. 2. What bike do you race and what’s your race #? Yamaha 125 #324 3. What are your goals for 2021 in the AMO Series To have as much fun as humanly possible at the races, while helping out the riders I coach! I’ll add in, winning a few Pre-Mix motos as well 😉 4. Who is your favorite Canadian Racer? I admire Jess Pettis for his never say die attitude. Jess invests his personal winnings back into his race program so he can continue to improve every year. Not many riders have this mindset and I feel it limits their growth in the sport! 5. If you found a wallet at the track with $100 inside what would you do with it? Deliver is back to its rightful owner, ain’t nobody got time for BAD karma! 6. What is your favorite AMO track or any other track? It’s hard to argue the dirt at SDL on a perfect conditions type of day! Outside of the AMO series, I would have to pick Cody Golems private track! 7. Have you ever raced the Walton Transcan Grand National championship? If yes, how did it go and how was your experience? A few times over the years…. Walton is a second home to me and will always have a special place in my heart. Over the years I have won 7 Amateur titles, Bronze Boot and the Rick Joseph award at the Transcan. 8. How many in your family race? Myself 9. If there was one thing you could change about the sport of motocross, what would that be? I would love to move away from the “Dangerous” label that our sport has. Riding a motorcycle is no more dangerous than walking across the street. We are responsible for our actions on and off the track. Motocross will hold you accountable at the first opportunity presented. Ultimately, our bikes, gear and safety have all improved over the years and I feel our label holds back families from entering the sport. 10. Who are your 2021 sponsors?
