“The XDC Orlando event was really fun –the series is made up of a really close group of dudes,” said Waldin. “I’d like to thank Helix Drinks, Mishimoto, Federal Tire, and BC Racing for all of their support this year. I’m glad the judges saw it the way I did –Chelsea hit me and that put me into the wall. Not the way I wanted to win but I’ll take it!”
