Harold Waddell, NAHA Pro from Omaha, Nebraska Wins National Title (November 12th, 2006) Most everyone that races motorcycles has, or has had the dream of winning a national title at sometime in their life. As young kid or even a young adult, we dream big. So what really makes a champion, The Champion. It starts with support, yeah inside you believe in your self and you know you have what it takes to win, but when you face a challenge and fall short a few times, it takes support to keep you on track. I'm not talking about sponsors and endorsements. I'm talking about someone beside yourself believing in you as much as you believe in yourself. The reality is that even with all the support in the world, few of us ever get a chance to reach the national level of racing, let alone win a national title.
Harold Waddell and family, have been seeking this National Title for 6 years with Harold as the Pilot, and Harold Waddell has finally reached the top of a long ladder, earning it every step of the way. Congratulations Harold on winning the national title.
I have had the privilege of riding and racing with Harold on many occasions, and have seen his ability to ride a motorcycle extends far beyond his Hillclimb National Title. Harold enters several motocross races each year and has as much ability to win in the "A" class against full time motocross racers as anyone on the track. Shoot he will enter a Hare Scrambles race maybe once or twice a year, and as I have seen him do several times in the past, win the event.
He can ride just about anything and do it at the highest level and be a top contender in what ever he does. As much talent as Harold has he knows from experience that there is allot of hard work and dedication behind his recent success, and he thought it was tough getting to to top. Now defending the title can be even tougher.

Good luck in 2007 and we will be rooting for you to retain that title for years to come.
Congratulations and good luck.
