Pacific Raceways Friday Night Race #1

When I called Pacific Raceways the same day of the race they said the track was dry, but when we got to the track and went out for practice I noticed that it wasn't dry at all.  My races were moto 5 and 9.  I go up to the gate for my first race and that is my women's class. I got a good start out of the gate and had the holeshot until i let off the gas and let the Gauthier girls pass me at the same time.  After they passed me they were gone.  I tried to keep up but they were just to fast for me.  So I ended my first women's race 3rd.  Right when I ledt the track I had to go back up to the gate to get a good gate pick because in the beginner class they aren't really nice and will sqeeze themselfs into the gate and take your spot.  In my first 125 Beginner moto I got a bad start.  The track was really bad and i wasn't doing good in the corners.  So I ended up 14th out of 27 in the first moto.  After awhile it was time for my 2nd moto for my women's class. I didn't get a really good start that moto because I let my tire spin on the pavement start and i swerved once I hit the dirt but I was still in a good position when I got to the corner.  I didn't let them get away this time and I was hanging with them pretty good.  One of the sister's fell so I passed her and kept her from passing me so I ended up getting 2nd and 2nd overall in the women's class.  Then
