With all the variables including the Dash for Cash points available, (which Jared failed to qualify for at the last round), it was truly coming down to the last main event of the year. Despite some aggressive riding by his competitors he managed to finish 8th which was good enough to take home the number one plate. He finished with 291 points over Sammy’s 278. He also won the Singles Championship this year. In the past he’s won the Grand National Title in 2009, the AMA Horizon Award, the AMA Rookie of the Year, and the Twins Championship in 2011 just to name a few of his accomplishments. www.jaredmees.com Rick Doughty, Owner – Vintage Iron Works Doughty started his business back in 1990 when the vintage movement started to take off.
