Racers have lots of lessons to learn and Torco Racing Fuels Honda’s Jake Weimer is on the Dean’s List when it comes to his learning curve.

This is Weimer’s third year on the Honda CRF250R. “I think in everybody there comes a certain time when a light switches on and all you care about is winning. That’s kind of where I am right now. In 2006 I would’ve been happy with a top-10 outdoor finish, and now it’s like I’m really disappointed. Overall I’m happy, but it’s definitely time for me to step up my game.”

Just 20-years-old, Weimer likes his chances. “I would say the outdoors has probably gone better than Supercross. But all things considered, last year—Supercross and Motocross combined—went pretty well. I had no serious injuries, and it’s been good.

“The 2008 season is basically the time to win or to go home and go to college. In Supercross I’m going to go for a title. And in outdoors it would be cool to get top three. So as of right now those are my goals.”

With just a little luck thrown in, 2008 is looking like it can be Jake Weimer’s breakout year.
