Not to take away from how awesome it is that there is a national women’s championship thanks to Michelin and Femmoto, but I have to say I am very proud of our west coast gals for putting out a grid of thirteen women roadracers last month at Infineon Raceway. And it would have been fourteen, had Krystyna Kubran’s bike been working, or even fifteen, if Jennifer Lauritzen hadn’t hurt her shoulder, or sixteen, if Svetlana Gorina raced with us, or seventeen, if Deb Barton hadn’t highsided earlier and didn’t have a Formula III championship to go win! SO HUGE LADIES AND I’M SO THRILLED TO KNOW AND RACE WITH ALL Y’ALL!
