Braydan Galvin – 2012 Youth 200cc California State Championship.

Riding since age four this son of a Speedway dynasty where both granddad Dave and father Bryan raced Division 1 won his first California Pee Wee Championship by age six (run on the same night the Pee Wee class is not called a State Championship). The next year he won it again.

2007 saw Braydan win the Youth Division 2 Main at Industry seven times and finished third in the Youth Division 2 Track Championship. Then he disappeared. “Going car racing” Speedway would not hear from him for four years.

“It was July of 2011” Granddad Dave told me. Braydan wanted to try speedway again but we had no bike so his dad and I took him to the Billy Hamill Speedway Academy. The 1996 World Speedway Champion supplies the bike, track and instructs.  Any kid who ever thought about riding Speedway this is thew ay to do it.  You can check out the Billy Hamill Speedway Academy on face book at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Billy-Hamill-Speedway-Academy-Hagon-Shocks/159371037431409

So the bottom line was that by schools end all knew Speedway was Braydan calling.  A month later here at Industry he won his first main. Two weeks later he was third in the California State Speedway Championship also here at Industry and then he was crowned the Youth Western States Champion at I MS.  Braydan been winning races ever since. “But this is his biggest. The California State Speedway Championship.  Its enough to make a grown man cry”.

Right on Dave. Braydan represents the future of our sport.  Glad you and Brayn were there to mentor that process.

Speedway has had many famous families. The name Galvin is indeed one.
