Member of the Week: Camryn Quast

Written By: Jackie Riess

Camryn Quast is the 2021 Quad MX 90cc Semi-Stock Champion! He began riding at home in 2018 and became interested in racing quite quickly. Both he and his father knew nothing about racing at the time, and found District 23 ARMCA in the spring of 2019. Camryn went on to win the 50cc Semi-Stock championship in 2020, and continued his winning ways in 2021. He enjoys the camaraderie among his competitors, and the respect they have for each other on and off the track. This is what keeps him coming back to D23 ARMCA, and his goals for 2022 include clinching another championship in the 90cc Semi-Stock class. Inspired by Pro ATVMX racer Joel Hetrick, Camryn strives to compete in ATVMX at the national level.

Racing has given Camryn true pride in his work. Where traditional sports like football and wrestling fell short, Camryn feels the thrill and excitement of racing give him confidence for his hard work. Taking to advice he’s been given, he has focused on his starts to improve his race craft. And though he feels excitement on the track, a moment of silence on the starting gate helps Camryn to focus on the most important part of his race. When the racing is finished, Camryn enjoys his dad’s famous brisket street tacos and garage time with dad in preparation for the next race. In addition to honing in his start skills, Camryn has been working hard to ride smart and within his means. Something he advises other D23 ARMCA members to focus on to help keep them safe on the track.
