I am getting back into full swing with racing again and I have never felt better! With my ProCaliber.com bike, my great support system and sponsors under me I am able to make it to the races. I couldn't be happier with my team and how I have been riding!
I raced the first and second round of the NorthWest National Mx series out at Horn Rapids on March 2nd and 3rd. I prepared myself as well as I could in between working full time at ProCaliber Motorsports in Longview! Race day rolled around and I was very anxious to get out on the track since it was two years ago since I raced there. The last time was when I had my shoulder injury. I battled with some mental games, but got it out of my system after my first practice. It was race time and some nerves came upon me once the 30 second board turned sideways. I made sure I rode my race confident and as smooth as I could with all the nerves and adredaline rushing through me.
As the checkered flag came out I was the first to cross it, I was very excited and proud of myself. As the first day of round one ended I finished the day with two firsts place with a smile! Day two of racing started out with a bang, women's moto being the first moto of the day. The track was very slick and rough from the previous day which made it very difficult to ride. I was third into the second corner which isn't where I wantd to be. A few corners later I realized my clutch was out which made it difficult to gain power on the girls in front of me. In three laps I managed to work my way up and make the pass for first right before the finish line. It was an exciting race, but I needed to get my clutch fixed before my next moto. Thanks to my awesome mechanic he put a new clutch in swiftly and had plenty of time before my next race. Moto two rolled around for the Women's class and I was off out front, exactly where I wanted to be! I finished the day with another first overall in the Women's A class. After my race I was able to get an interview and got to be up on the podium! It was such a cool experience to be able to thank all my sponsors for all their support loud and clear on the podium. It was a great way to wrap up the weekend. I am looking forward to rounds three and four!
I also send out my thoughts and prayers to Torri Thomas and her family who had a really bad wreck on Sunday during her race.
