Loretta Lynn's
Well... I made it! It wasn't easy. I sprained my ankle in the last moto of the South West qualifier in Moriarty, NM. The next week we went to the Thunder Valley qualifier to qualify for the South Central region, as a back-up in case I didn't make it at South West Regional, in Glen Helen, Ca. I qualified in the Stock class, but not in the Mod. The competition was strong and my ankle really hurt, so I wasn't able to do the big jumps. Plus I didn't have a Mod bike yet.
At Glen Helen, I got bad starts and went down a couple times. Needless to say, I didn't make it to Loretta's. The next week, we went to the South Central Regional Qualifier at the Cycle Ranch, in San Antonio, Tx. I got into the Mod class as an alternate. I went down in the first moto of the Stock class and took a 20th. I thought the Stock class was my best chance to make it to Loretta's. I raced the Mod class for fun and track time. I finished 10th over-all in the Stock class with 20-8-9 motos. I finished 5th over-all in the Mod class with 5-6-12 motos.
My Mod bike ran great! Thanks to KTM/Munn Racing for their support in getting the bike set up. I was able to run in the front pack with my Mod bike. I don't know why, but with my stock bike, I couldn't run up front. Thanks to all my other sponsors as well. Every little bit of support helps out.
See you at Loretta's... Yeeeeeee Haaawwwww,
