For 2016 Richard stated, "My plans are for more of the same as last season. I will be riding for Jeff, Angie, and Chelsea, aboard the Fast Time Motorsports bike. Their Bill Vose-built and -tuned Pro Mod entry is hot! Our goal is to dip into the 3 second zone this year!

“I will also be riding the HDFR Pro Street bike owned by Brad Mummert. We made quite a few changes, with the main one being the addition of a MONSTAR cylinder head. We are hoping to step up our performance and contend for a Pro Street championship with the IDBL sanction."

At age 30, Richard is just getting started. Don't be surprised if thirty years from now he's still at it.
