"Gentleman" James Monaco AFT #123

 Here is a young man who enters the Pomona Half Mile National, shows up with his Sammy-O Racing Kawasaki 650 and on a new track to the complete field ( Well, not really as Mees ,Baker and the local GNC contingent ran an Outlaw race here exactly one year prior) which makes it almost an even playing field, promptly goes out and qualifies in eight place. Pretty impressive. He also has one of the coolest  #s in the new AFT Series, 123. I like it and easy to remember. Watch him rack up some meaningful results in the coming 2018 season. He is obviously on a strong horse and I suspect that he benefits by being sponsored by Dave Zanotti and his two National wins this year, Kawasaki powered team. 2017 was James second year in Twins and he whips the Kawi around with authority so I am sure he will be mixing it up at the front, going for the top of the box in just a few months.
