2008 Summary - Loretta Lynn's and Mixing it Up!


 

2008 Summary:

With plans to start a family sometime soon, I put 100% into having an outstanding season in 2007, winning my fourth AMA District 17 Championship in the Women's class, with a perfect score in the Stadium MX series (14 wins, average of 12 women per race).  So in 2008, the focus shifted to my husband in 2008, as he wanted to reach his dream of qualifying for the Loretta Lynn's National.  Instead of racing every weekend, we spent a lot of time practicing and training, and it paid off, as Scott finished 3rd and 5th at the area qalifier and regional qualifier to make it to the National!  He finished 30th O/A at the National in Vet 30 B (23-34-29), and of course we had a great time down there in Tennessee!  I was his mechanic, photographer, and biggest fan!  Now we have both checked the box for racing the Loretta Lynn's National on our list of motocross goals!

In 2008, I still fit in nearly 20 races, with a mix of motocross, stadium motocross, and hare scrambles.  I enjoyed mixing it up after racing mostly stadium motocross in 2007.  I especially had fun with the the hare scrambles, as it was something totally new, and we had a strong turnout with an average of 10 women per race.  I finished 2nd, 2nd, and 3rd in my hare scramble races, and felt really good about my races and lap times.  If it wasn't for the dead engine starts with a 250F, I think I might have been able to take a win or two!

Got something to say?
