Her dad has been racing in a series up in Oregon and she recently made the journey up there to watch him at Finals and to participate in a little racing of her own. This is her first time down the track with her busa and literally three out of four times she had ridden that weekend. She's a born natural!
She opted to race in the event as opposed to just racing time only's. She was doing great, cutting a 0.10 off her time each qualifing run. As great as that sounds, it also means when it comes to dial-in (since she was racing ET) it becomes very difficult to pick a dial-in time. After much discussion they agreed on a dial-in of 10.80.
Well, she ended up breaking out with a 10.7 and consequently told her dad she knew she should have dialed quicker. These moments are always bitter sweet, because your happy as heck that you broke out and ran quicker then you predicted... but it also sucks because you inevitably lost. Needless to say, the guy she raced dialed an 9.80 and she tree'd him (big time). After the race he came over and told her that he didn't think he had anything to worry about with her and was WRONG!
Way to go, girl! I am so proud of you and CONGRATS on moving up the busa! That's ROCKS!
For everyone else, let me remind you that this was her first time at the track on a busa and one (1) of a hand full of times she had ridden it that weekend. This girl has talent and my prediction is this: IF SHE STICKS WITH IT, WE'LL SEE HER RACING PRO IN NO TIME!
Not to steal the glory from her dad, as he won the Championship in the series he had been racing in Oregon! HUGE Congrats to him! He is a TRUE inspiration to those that know him and to those that don't... they will!
Much LOVE to the whole ENGLAND family!
