The 2013
AFM season, as my first has been a truly remarkable experience.
With the start of my very first season on a sponsored ride (Suzuki K5 GSXR 600) I experienced some of the highs and lows of racing....
The excitement and joy of placing 2nd in NV Formula AFemme at Thunderhill in June, improving my lap times consistently and making new connections and friends with great people in the sport.
The disappointment of receiving a "Meatball" (Mechanical) flag ending my battle for 1st (& ending my race) with Josie at Sonoma Raceway in May.

The withdrawal of my major sponsor from the AFM in July left me with out a ride / bike which left me unable to compete in rounds 4 & 5 of AFM at Thunderhill.
With such an intense passion for the sport, I was not going to let that stop me from getting back out there on track! So I purchased an 06 Yamaha YZF-R6 and with the help of my amazing sponsors & friends -
East Bay Auto Spa,
Fastline Motorcycle Performance Center and
CT Race Tires (Pirelli) I was able to convert a somewhat stock R6 into the race bike I had envisioned.

With only 2 race weekends remaining in the 2013 AFM race season, I am excited to hit the track and finish the season I started. Additional track days will be on the calendar to continue testing and tuning ensuring the bike is dialed in for 2014!
A special thanks to -
