November 16 - Jesse James has arrived at Planet X to begin dialing in his new Ski-Doos in preparation for Duluth next week.  With his great sponsors, he has been able to arrive early to get a lot of snow time in.  A big thanks goes out to Ski-Doo, Ingles Performance, Mikes Towing and Recovery.  Also a big thanks to Don Roberts for driving out west with Jesse James, along with his son Zac, and to Mike Wallenstein for his help out at Planet X.  Can't wait to see the fans at Duluth.  Pray for snow and let's go racing!!!!!

November 23-24, 2012 - Jesse James raced to one win and one third place finish in the  Sport division at the ISOC Duluth Nationals on Thanksgiving weekend. This was no small feat, as Jesse had to compete in a division with over 100 entries each day.  In order to make Sunday's final Jesse had to race the last chance qualifier (LCQ) despite posting 2 runner-up finishes in his qualifying rounds.  Jesse won the LCQ round to earn a back row start in Sunday's final.

At the start, Jesse was quick on the trigger and found an opening between the sleds in front of him and shot out to the front to grab the holeshot before the field even made it to the tabletop start/finish.  A remarkable feat that had everyone on their feet. 

Jesse's off-season training regimen paid off big time.  As the race progressed, Jesse's lead expanded every lap to finish his flag-to-flag win with a comfortable margin over Zac Mason & Braydon Love.

In Saturday's Sport action, Jesse posted 2 wins to earn a front row start in the final.  In a very competitive final, Jesse had to settle for the third place finish behind Mason & Love.  Payback was sweet on Sunday as Jesse outraced Mason and Love for the win.  Jesse James and Miksen Racing look to carry the Duluth momentum into Burke Mt. for the East Coast Snocross season opener on December 8-9. Jesse will be competing in the ECS Pro-Lite Division and will do so with a nice, big target on his back.

Miksen Racing is back into the racing scene, only not in dirt modifieds.  Mike Sena, team owner, and nephew, Jesse James Bonaduce have joined forces to make a run at the East Coast Snocross Pro-Lite Division Championship.  Also riding for their team will be Zac Roberts from Rome, NY, who will be competing in the 13-14 year old Junior Division.

"We are so fortunate to have the support of the Ski-doo Corporate Racing division.  That is the kind of support you need to be able to compete at this level.  Ingles Performance will be another one of our main sponsors.  Without Robin and Mike, there would be a missing link in our program."  Jesse James and Ingles Performance teamed together last year and they are returning for a second year.  "Ingles Performance is our primary sponsor after Ski-doo", says Mike Sena.

Other sponsors that will be helping the team are:  Stud Boy  Traction, J&J Trucking, Champion Tire, Mike's Towing & Recovery, Mike's Auto Service, Lou's Gun Shop, Jersey Mortgage, C&A Pro, Neary Excavating, Active Disposal, T.A. Elonis Welding and Maaco of Middlesex, NJ.

Jesse James plans to compete in the entire East Coast Snocross circuit and a few national events, including the Amsoil Duluth National in Duluth, Minnesota.  The Duluth race is the annual kick-off of the snocross season on Thanksgiving weekend.
