Thirteen women on the AFM AFemme grid at Sonoma’s Infineon Raceway. Bad ass. Deb Barton, who has joined us on several occasions, really needed to focus on winning the Formula III AFM championship, which she did. Mega congratulations for her! Joy Higa won the inaugural AFemme season championship, but some of us hope to give her some more competition next year! We were sorely missing Jennifer Lauritzen, who was cheering us on with a healing shoulder, and Krystyna Kubran, whose bike decided it didn’t want to go racing, and Cassandra Gaddy, who really needs a race bike, and Angie Loy, who despite tremendous talent and love for her fellow girl racers didn’t make it out, and Elena Myers, who is so fast she doesn’t need to bother with chick races and isn’t even old enough to race at Infineon anyway, and Melissa Paris, who has raced a few Femmoto and WERA women’s races but is recovering from a broken leg, and Svetlana Gorina, who told me she would race with us but then didn’t (insert big sad face here), and all the other girls that Jenny and Crystal and Britt tried to get down here… We could have had well over twenty chicks out there…un-freaking-believable. I’m so stoked and proud of all you girls…simply getting out there is an accomplishment in and of itself, and to see everyone continually growing and improving is just so exciting.
On The Throttle TV and Vision Wells were in the house to film our race from every angle, complete with interviews and whatnot. I can’t wait to see the footage. Stay tuned for updates, links, and so on as I post them up…I am really busy these days with some new business dealings, so don’t expect any award-winning prose…lol.
Love to you all!
Christie
