Biography

Garrick Freitas began riding motorcycles at a young age and parlayed that into competing in motocross, TT, circle track, and desert racing. By the age of 13, Freitas was riding across the deserts of the South West including the Mojave Desert and down into Baja California, Mexico. And so his love of off-road racing began. In 2007 Freitas, along with his Father Danny, formed Freitas Off-road Motorsports with the purchase of a Class 1400 Chevy race truck. Freitas began his foray into off-road racing in the MDR, MORE and SNORE series’ where he increased his knowledge and built a solid foundation to then transition into SCORE and BITD competition. Today, Freitas pilots his Jimco Class 1/1500 car in the SCORE and BITD series’. A notable standout, Freitas’ tenacity, patience, and hard work have blossomed into back-to-back Class 1500 wins in the prestigious General Tire Vegas to Reno race as well as an overall win at Vegas to Reno in 2012.
