Check out Melissa Paris’s thoughts on her upcoming World Supersport debut.
Elena Myers is on SpeedTV tonight, I think at 7:30 Pacific Time. Here’s a link to the news on Roadracingworld.com.
My weekend was spent at Infineon for the big AMA races. Aside from the sweltering heat, it was a fun weekend. I got to hear AFM racer Jennifer Lauritzen’s husband light it up in the announcer’s booth. He’s a natural and so enthusiastic!
Also spent some time chatting with Jon Forman, an AFM board member, about Formula AFemme, which he called “a spectacular success.” The current plan is to discuss AFemme again at the June 11 board meeting, but it leaves me wondering if we will be able to race AFemme June 12th and 13th at Thunderhill. Perhaps I should give Zoe and Joy an email, or maybe even “Dr. Jonny” himself (Jon’s a Ph.D. or researcher in some really complicated sounding scientific profession and is super smart) to see what’s up.
I also got to take the Skip Barber Superbike School KTM RC8 for a spin around the track as part of the traditional “fan laps.” Unfortunately some wahoos squidded it up in turn 1 (they probably didn’t know where to go because of the cone-created chicane) and created a big scene, cutting our three fan laps short to one. Ah well, it was still fun and I got some sweet pictures:
