I finally got to race Top Gun for team South Sound Honda this year. :) It's kind of a weird event where you get one moto per day over the labor day weekend for a total of three motos. My first moto I came out of the first turn in the top 5 but went down for an 11th place finish. My second moto didn't go much better...I went down again in a pileup for a 10th place finish. On my last day of raceup i got a 2nd place start and held onto it until the end for a 7th place overall finish for the weekend. I know I could have rode better so that was frustrating...but I'm happy with my second place finish.

I had an awesome weekend of racing at Washougal MX Park in my first ever WMA Race. There was a great turnout..with a full gate of 44 Women! In my first moto I got a top 5 start and was able to hang onto my 5th place until the finish. My second moto I holeshot for a 2nd place finish and a 3rd place overall for the day.

I`m really pumped...I went out and got myself a 2007 CRF250F and I love it! I can`t wait to go out and tear it up! I'm all healed up from my last injury and I'm more than ready to hit up the track. This is the first time I`ve bought my own bike so it`s definitely a good experience and its keeping me motivated to go farther in the sport. I`m so thankful I`m fortunate enough to be able to get a new bike this soon...thanks to my sponsors and family support!

While practicing on August 31st i took a little spill and crushed some fingers...it turns out I only broke one of them, but in 2 places. One of the breaks goes completely through the bone so I`ll be off my bike for 4-6 weeks to avoid getting pins put in my finger. By the time I get back on my bike I should have my 07! Until then I`m just gonna take it easy and concentrate on healing as fast as possible.

I just got a call from South Sound Honda, the local bike shop I ride for, and received an invite to the annual team-shootout at Washougal, September 2-4. I was pretty pumped about this because Top Gun in my opinion is themost fun race of the year...all the best riders from every team around are there. But then I remembered about my little mishap practicing at Ward Creek the weekend before....I just got on the track, it was my first practice, and my CR125 seized up. AGAIN. So my moneys going to be going into that bike once again and then I`ll be selling it and getting my 2007 CRF250R. Until then South Sound Honda let me borrow a decent 2004 CRF250R. So no complaints here...I can`t wait till the 07s come out! I will post the results of Top Gun soon!
