This was a tough but rewarding weekend, 4 full days of hard riding plus 10 races was a lot. Some highlights: Getting on the podium 8 out of 10 races at a track I’d never been to before. Breaking the track record for the ladies class on Saturday—unfortunately Donna re-broke it chasing me on Sunday, but I won both races anyway. 10 races in one weekend, ugh I don’t know how some of these guys do it. And I thought 5 races a weekend was a lot!

Aaron also picked up speed and started getting really aggressive in his passing—then as he got even faster he experienced his first crash. It was a small fall, in thick alfalfa, very minor. But it caused him to reset for the rest of his races. He was frustrated with this mental slowdown, but isn’t this the way we all deal with a crash? I do. Both Aaron and I had some of our best finishes to date in Hastings, and going to this away doubleheader maintains our positions in the points battle. A successful weekend! Now back to High Plains Raceway in June….
