“I race a Kawasaki 250f and a Kawasaki 450f,” said Howell. “Amateur day gives me a chance to show my skills on a slightly tamed down track. I love the intense competition and I love to practice because I can always become a better rider.”

“Howell also won the Schoolboy and 450B classes at BooKoo Arenacross Amateur Day in Yakima, Washington. “Both of the tracks (at Salem and Yakima) are really tight and it’s tough to pass,” said Howell. “I usually compete against anywhere from seven to eighteen people, depending on the class.”

Howell uses K&N Engineering Air and Oil Filters KA-2506XD, KN-207 and KN-112. “I really like K&N Filters,” said Howell. “The power gains are noticeable throughout the whole power band. I really like that I can go longer on K&N Filters and they are easy to change and clean.”

The high school sophomore  plans to race in most of the amateur nationals in 2007 including Lake Whitney, World Mini GP, Ponca City and Loretta Lynn’s.
