What do I remember most about this season ender at Thunderhill?
These two funny dogs in front of some guy’s RV. They were literally the beast with two backs, but not in the sexual sense. Really, they were one dog, just, with two backs and in some really funny positions. Pretty sure I saw reverse cowgirl in there too.
The weather was also really interesting and beautiful. Sunday morning brought a short rainstorm that amplified the sweet smelling grasses local to the area around Willows. Practice was only interrupted for an hour. The rest of the day’s racing was given a glorious backdrop of clouds and a thousand shades of vibrant gray. The skies gave our victory photos that little something extra.

We’re holding our index fingers up like a “one” because we won the day’s Formula AFemme race, and took second in the overall season championship to the admirable, awesome, and accomplished Joy Higa.
On Sunday we placed 14th of 23 in 750 Superbike, 13th of 24 in 750 Production, and wisely opted out of 600 production which ended up being a bit of a messy race. I made some personal best laptimes in the 1:58s. Next year I hope to crack the top ten in the AFM’s boy classes, get down to 55s, help Miss Nienow assimilate into the racing world, and, naturally, win my first AFemme Number 1 plate. It will require a lot of work and the lady competition should be pretty fierce; Jenn Lauritzen has been improving fast and training her ass off, there are rumors swirling that Kristy Miller and Joy Higa will be back in the house, and a few fast girls from the Pacific Northwest may be coming down to chase trophies.
But, if it wasn’t difficult, winning wouldn’t be so rewarding, right?
