It’s Been a While

Since I last posted…

I started a new business, Process Serving Aces. It’s got me running around like a one legged chick in an ass kicking contest, to steal a phrase from my friend Bob Stack, a process server up in Lake County. He’s grizzly, got a smoker’s voice and has funny random sayings for just about everything.

I got engaged. I’m getting married in August of this year.

My fiance went back to work in January, and asked me to run his side business, Fast Aid & Safety. The website needs work. It’s one of my many projects so don’t give me any crap about it.

I’m still working with my online marketing clients, now under the umbrella of MyAdStrategy.com. This by far is the most lucrative gig, but the process serving is a blast and I don’t want to let the first aid biz go either. So, I’ve pretty much created my own problem now, haven’t it?

I also got a “big girl” bike. A 2007 Honda CBR600RR. It’s a little faster than my SV, but man, it’s been tough getting to my SV race times on it!

So what’s going on in chick racing this year? A lot!

• Elena Myers turned 16 in December I think and is now a full fledged professional motorcycle racer, racing with the national Daytona Supersport series.
• Melissa Paris is going to rock an Iron Man II custom helmet and ensemble at Road Atlanta this weekend.
• Marisol Lacour, I think she’s 15 or 16, dropped into the 1:28s on her Suzuki SV650 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this month. That is MOVIN’!
• Joy Higa dipped into the 1:55s at Buttonwillow last month…oooooooh. Top ten finishes in several of her “co ed” classes and won the AFM’s Formula AFemme. I thought my 58s would have ensured I’d be competitive with her, but like always happens, you go faster, and the fast girls go faster too!
• I’m leading the women’s championship with WERA West, with two wins and one second place finish, but I’m wondering if Joy (who is faster than I am) is not going to race any more WERA events. She had a horrific crash just up track from me going into turn 1 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. She was left pretty much intact, but her bike was in pieces. She’s still racing AFM but I don’t know what her WERA plans are. Although I’d love to have a better shot at winning WERA’s Women’s Superstock, I want the women’s grids to be as big as they can be! Plus I love the thought of chasing her and maybe being able to keep her in my sights. 😉
• Three new girls joined the AFemme ranks at Buttonwillow: Tracy Bowen, Bess Keigwin and Lisa Wallace! Welcome and YAY!

Please correct me if I’ve missed anything…and I’m sorry for being so busy. If anyone wants to send me reports or blogs or notes or pictures or anything to include, please do and I will post it up!

Love,
