The first day at Oak Hill didnt start off like everyone would have liked it to. It poored down rain all day and night so they had to cancel practice. The next morning we woke up and the track workers had been working on the track all mornig to get it ready to start practice and racing. The track turned out to be awesome by the time racing started. I was the fifth moto of the day, and I won it. The track was amazing and lots of fun. I couldn't believe it turned out the way it did. I didn't get to ride again until that Saturday morning so I was a little rusty but I ended up pulling out the Overall and started my year off good. I know what to expect now and I will be getting ready for the WMA series and I can't wait.  In the mean time I will be back in TX training and ridng. I hope for you to stay tuned and possibly see you at some WMA races.  Take a look at the Schedule for a race near you.

Its been a while since I have last wrote. I started back riding in January from my broken sternum. It still bothers me some but its not nearly as bad as it was. I have been in Houston, TX training, testing and getting ready for the up-coming season.  Im pretty excited and know its going to be a tough year. I just finished a race here at Lake Whitney. I won the first moto and the second moto my bike ended up braking. I have a good team behind me and I know they will fix the problem and I'll be back and ready for next week in Decatur, TX at Oak Hill.

Now that the Winter Olympics are over I have just been taking some time off to let my Sternum heal up some and I also had some surgery on my wrist for Carpool Tunnel reelease.  Its nice to be able to chill and spend some time with my family and do things Im not able to do while I am training and riding all year.  I will be back to training and riding soon to be ready for the 2008 season and I am looking forward to another great year. I hope every one has a great Christmas and looking forward to seeing you next year at the races!

12/8/07-

I have singed with Pirelli Tires for the next two years and Im looking forward to the next  two  awesome years with them.

11/30/07-

The Winter olympics have now ended and man was it a tough week for me. Practice for SX went really good, I felt good and had some good lines. The track was awesome and a lot better layout than before. We had to wait until all the practices were over then we were the first qualifing race of the day. I got off to an ok start, about 5th place, by the time we got towards the back I was in second passing for first. When I went to make the pass on a step on - step off  I spun from then watering and I ended up doing an endo on the tripple and hit my chest really hard, I pulled off, I couldnt breath good and I was hurting really bad inside. Later I went to the hospital and found out I had a broken sternum, I knew that if I still wanted to try and race I would be in alot of pain. I raced the main in SX and got 4th, all I could do was ride around and do the best I could  to get some points. The for MX, it was a little easier on me because it didn't pull on my chest as much. The first moto was a mud hole, it rained a ton and it was actually really fun and I won the moto. Second moto was great, the rain made the track really tacky, I felt awesome with some pain but I just held my line and won the moto. I didnt win the olympaid but I had a good time and had some pain to go through but it was all worth it.

10/19/07-

Now that I am back home I have just been taking some time off and a little vacation!  It sure has been nice but I am about to start back riding and training getting ready for the Winter Olympics in Gainsville, FL. I just want to thank everyone again and I hope everyone has had an awesome year.

9/10/07-

Well, yes I did win my 5th WMA Championship! It was really muddy first moto and second moto was perfect, plus we got to race on Sunday so that was awesome! Im super happy and Im glad I had another great year. I want to thank my Family, friends, fans and sponsors for all the support. Here is a write up on the last race.

If you have been checking back lately for updates it sure has been a long time! I have been so busy racing and training, its been hard to keep everything up, so here is what has been going on since Hangtown.  I went back home to do a qualifier for Loretta Lynn's and I won that.  I also did an AMA Supermoto race in NY and had a hard time there, it was the first time I raced it in the rain. Next was Budds Creek, I really like that track and the dirt was really good. I ended up wining both motos there also, so now people kept asking me if I was going to keep the streak going but all I wanted to do was just keep my eyes on the championship and worry about that later. I flew out the next day to go to Mammoth, CA. I really like the whole facility, track and people there. There are so many things to do and you get to race at the same time. I had a rough time there, I got 2nd the first moto due to a bad start and second moto I passed for the lead and crashed, my bike was so hard to get started and I got 10th for 6th overall. I left to come back home and start training and put that behind me and get ready for Colorado, but before that I thought I would go have some more fun and race another AMA Supermoto race and I ended up 16th! That was one of my best finishes and I was so happy since these guys are SO fast.  Now we are headed to Colorado, we got in on Friday and boy it was nice to just fly out there instead of driving. The  first moto I got into a first turn pile up and  Sarah Whitmore was on the inside of me. When I fell on top of her my fingers got caught in her rear sprocket and cut the tip of my middle finger off. It sure hurt like hell but I got all bandaged up and went out for the second moto to try and salvage some points and got second. I eneded up leaving with a 1 point lead!  Pretty stressful compared to my 25 point lead before the race, but I knew I had to just keep my head up and win some more races. The next weekend we flew out to Washougal and I did just that and won both motos, so I pulled back out a 16 point lead. It feels a lot better to have some points going into the last race which will be at Steel City August 26th. I have also been to Loretta's and I think I have the most wins for Second place in a row. haha I got second again this year for like the 6th year in a row, but what can I say? I'll be there again next year!   Now I am waiting for the last race of the WMA to get here, I can't wait!   Last weekend I just raced a local race for fun, this weekend I am at the 4th  annaul W.O.W in Cohocton, NY. Its a really fun track and also a pro purse so I hope to make some money!  Then were off to Steel City, and Im hoping to write you back saying that I have 5 WMA Championships!  Stay tuned and thanks for the support!

I come back from the regional qualifier at Gatorback with a 1-1-24 for a 7th overall for the last spot. The last moto on the first lap I felt  my bike was getting slower, I kind of just settled where I was just to finish the race. Next thing you know I was coming up a hill and at the top it seized. I was so bumbed but I just pushed my bike back to the finish. I was just happy I didn't have to go to TX to race this weekend. Instead I will be at Budds Creek racing amateur day and watching the pro's race on Sunday. I just have been practicing all week and had to tear my bike apart to see what had happened, which was some nut inside the motor come off and tore up everything inside, but we got it figured out and ready for the next race, also check out some new photos. Good Luck and thanks for visiting!

6/5/06-

I have been really busy lately getting ready for all these races coming up. It seam's like we were just at Loretta Lynn's and before you know it we are back doing qualifiers, I have my regional this weekend at Gatorback in Gainsville, FL.  I have also got invited to come back to Sweden and race, I will be leaving the 24th of this month and returning July 3rd. It will be for the FIM Women's World Cup race, I'm very excited about going over there and I hope to represent the USA well. After that I will continue the rest of the WMA. As for this week I will continue getting ready for these races, just practice and train, its all I do but its part of being the best. Thanks for checking up and Good Luck! 

5/22/06-

I can say this past weekend went way better. I felt really good in practice, it was a little slick from the rain the night before but not bad at all. First moto, I got a horrible start again and had to work my way back up. I came to second but by the time I started making up ground the moto was over and I ended up second, they have shortened our moto's to 15 minutes plus 2 laps. Then second moto came. I didn't want Prumm to win again, so  I knew i had to get a good start. I came out third, passed for first by the second corner and never looked back. Prumm had a bad start and by the time she came into second I was gone. I ended up winning the overall and it surly felt good to win again. I did what I wanted to do and I left California with the points lead by 4. I'm excited and ready for the next round, I will be at Mt. Morris racing amateur day this weekend then headed back to Florida for my Regional qualifier at Gatorback. Thanks for visiting!

5/16/06-

Finally the first round of the WMA was here at Glen Helen, practice went well and I was ready. The first moto, I had a decent start and on the first down hill I had gotten tangled up with some people and crashed, I had to get my bars out of the other girls frame and then remount. I was dead last, just how I  didn't wanted to start the year off. I ended up crashing again but by then end came back to 6th. Second moto, I had a horrible start and had to do catch up once again....I was catching up to the leaders, so on a down hill I changed my line. Let's just say I'm lucky I can remember what happened, was swapping all the way down the hill, so I just pinned it and prayed. I went off the track and hit the fence, so I once again had to catch back up. We had 2 laps to go by then and I was 6 seconds down. On the last lap I almost passed for the lead, ending up 2nd with 4th overall but tied in 3rd for points.  I guess things could have been much worse, and I'm just happy I'm in the top 3 in points and still healthy. This weekend we race at Hangtown and I really like the track and Looking forward to a better race.    Good Luck and Ride Hard!

Well, what an exciting weekend in Las Vegas! It was the most anticipated race that supercross has had in a while, and I was able to be there to see my hometown boy Carmichael win the Championship, and was there for the Mini Moto race which was full of a lot of bar banging and good racing. I'm  getting ready for the WMA first round this weekend at Glenn Helen. I'm so ready for it to be here, I have trained and worked really hard and ready for it all to start. I had a pretty good week of practice, just one good crash I have had in a while shook me up a little and was just a little sore with a bloody nose and some bruises. If you get a chance, come on out to one of our Nationals and root us on.  Good Luck and I hope for next weekend I can write back I wet 1-1 and in the points lead! 

5/1/ 06  -

This weekend I went to my first AMA Supermoto race to watch and see if I could learn a few things, being that  I will race a few rounds in the Supermoto Lites class. It was unbelievable!  I had so much fun and learned a lot. All I know is Henry and Ward were so fast and have not lost any speed with age.  This week I will be riding in California getting ready for the first round of the WMA, May 13th at Glenn Helen raceway, so come out and see the girls battle!  On Thursday I will be headed to Vegas to watch Metz flip Ceaser Palace and for the last round of supercross, which is going to be very exciting!!  Thanks for visiting and Good Luck!

10/19/07-

I have just been hanging out and taking a little brake and enjoying life. I had a long year of training and riding and at the end its nice to just take a little time off. I have still been racing on the weekends for fun and now getting ready for the Winter Olympics in Gainsville, FL Thanksgiving week. Its one of my favorite races because its the closest to home and SO many people come from all over. I will also be getting ready for the WMA Women's World Cup race which is that same weekend but I am hoping to get out of there and make it to that race also, but we will see. I hope everyone has had a good year and stay safe. Hopefully I will see you at the races!

9/10/07-

4/11/07-  Im back in Texas riding and training getting ready for the WMA series to start up and I am ready!  I also wanted to announce the singing of my new sponsor  BAD BOY Power Drink and Rick Ware Racing. Im happy that I could join the team  untill 2008 and I am ready for another great year!

 3/ 26/07- I just wanted to keep you updated on how things have been going so far. I was in Texas for 2 weeks racing at Lake Whitney and Oak Hill, and things went just as planned. At Whitney, the track was awesome and the weather held out all week for us.  I raced women's pro class with a decent turn out, I won both motos and a championship.

1/22/07- I went to the third round of sx and of course Stewart ran away with it since RC wasnt there. I think the most action the whole night was  all the fights that all the drunks were having. haha  Anyway on Sunday we raced at a track called Competitive Edge, and it was freezing cold! The Dirt was frozen and made the track feel really slippery. By the end of the day, the track was awesome and we had a good time. I rode Women's class and 17-24 age class, came out with a 1st and a 6th for the week. It was my first time racing since November so I have my goals set on being stronger by the time TX races come. Hope everyone has a good week!

1/15/07-  Man, the New Year has already started and I have been super busy trying to get things together  for this year. New Bikes, sponsors, products, ect to get ready for racing. I took the whole month of December off Like I do every year to relax, hangout with Nick , play poker and do stuff we dont get to do all year because we are so busy, training, riding and racing. It was nice to be with my family for a while also since I see them onlly when I'm in and out. I hope that everyone else had a good Christmas and New Years also. I'm in California right now doing some testing with the new bikes and its going really well. I will be here for a few more weeks getting ready for the Warm up race in TX at Lake Whitney. I will be in TX for about 3 weeks go home for 2 weeks and back to TX to start the year off, and thr Right way..... winning!     Good Luck to everyone this year, ride hard and stay strong!

Well the last few race's of the year is over now, and I can say I had a pretty good year.  I came back from racing in Florida at the Winter Olympics and I won the Olympaid there, with 2nd in sx and I won mx with the overall.  Then racing was over on Saturday and my boyfriend and a friend drove all the way to TX for the WMA Women's World Cup to race the next day. It was pretty much a perfect day, I went 2 for 2, two holelshot and two moto wins. The track was really awesome, I had a lot of fun and the tracks were awesome also. I would like to thank everyone who helped me through out the year. 

11/12/06-

I know it has been a while since I have updated my website, and sorry for that. I havent been doing much since the Gatorback race besides healing up and starting to get back into riding, getting ready for the Mini O's (Gainsville, FL) and TX Women's cup race. I was testing all last week getting the bikes ready and making sure everything was going to be a 100%. I raced this past weekend at Monster Mnt and the track was awesome! I won the Women's class and I got 2nd in the 125 A. The weekend before I went to the AMA Supermoto Race in Long Beach, CA to watch and see my boyfriend race. He did good and the race was really fun. I will keep on training and getting ready for those races, Im feeling good and I hope to see you guys there.

9/14/06-

Its my BIRTHDAY!  I'm 23 now, Oh Gosh!

9/12/06-

I took the week off and just had some fun. On Saturday my boyfriend raced in a stock car race which was really cool to see. It was some different kind of racing but I hate having to wait for all the yellow flags. Just taking the week off but will ride a few days getting ready for the Gold Cup Series in FL at Gatorback.

9/4/06-

We raced amateur day on Friday and the track was awesome it was so fun, the layout is really nice and so is the dirt. I was really excited about Saturday and I knew I would wrap up the championship the first moto. All I had to do really is finish the race and I was pretty confident about that. The only problem was that Friday night  Tropical Storm Ernesto was coming and we would get some rain. It ended up  raining so much that they canceled the race for Saturday and we would get to race on Sunday. The track workers hard on the track and got it in really good shape. The ruts were super deep and the dirt was super sticky. First moto, I came out second on the start passed for the lead by the end of the fist lap. I don't know what started happening but I started thinking to much about staying up and I ended up washing my front end out on a off camber turn. I got up in 5th came back to second and on the last lap I crashed again, jumping to far into ruts. I got up and ended up 4th but won the championship.  Second moto, at the end of the day track was rougher then before and I finally got a hole shot and just looked ahead and won by 30 seconds. Turned out to be a good day and another Championship, my 4th WMA.

8/28/06-

After Broome, we left and went to the track in Cohocton, NY for a women's money race. and it was our week off. It started out really nice all week and then the rain comes again. It was another mud race and yet again only one moto since it was raining so hard. I got the hole shot and just looked ahead and won the race. The track was super slippery and there was water just running through the ruts. It was pretty gnarly, but fun, just wish it would have been dry because the track is so nice when its dry, lots of hills and fun jumps. After the race we left and stopped at a track to ride on our way to Steel City. We got to Steel City for our last round of the WMA on Thursday to get some time in on the track on Friday amateur day.

8/21/06-

Of course you cant go through the year of racing unless you have at least one mud race, and that's exacly what it was this weekend. We were in Binghamton, NY for our 5th round of the WMA. Practice that morning was perfect, the track was a lot of fun and couldn't have asked for better dirt. I thought I did pretty good in practice and felt really good about the whole day. All morning it kind of just sprinkled on and off so we were hoping for it to hold off. About 30 minutes before we had to go race it started down pouring. It rained so hard, the ruts were filled with water just running down the faces of the jumps, and I knew this was going to be fun. Because of it raining so hard and so much they had to make it to where were could only race one moto. The gate dropped and I was bout 5th coming down the hill. By the end of the first lap I was in 3rd behind Geiger and Nix, the roost  was so bad I tried everything to duck from all the mud. I just kind of played it out and waited for those two to make a mistake. Geiger went down and I was in second, I pressured Nix and passed her, but then she had gotten me back. I had to do something fast because I was running out of roll-off, then she ended  up going down also. I think that felt like the longest 20 minutes plus a lap I have ever done. The more we rode the worst the track got, it never stopped raining for another 8 hours. I was so happy when the checkered came out, it was a lot of fun but a big mess. I came out of there with the points lead and healthy. I will be going 80 miles west of Binghamton to Cohocton, NY for a money race this weekend and then to Steel City, PA for our last round of the WMA series. Hope to see you guys there!    *Check out the new photo's*

8/12/06-

This week we headed up to MIllville, MN just to ride some and watch the graduates of Loretta's race. daring the week I just rode and still training for the last 2 rounds of the WMA. I didn't have a very good day on Wednesday, I crashed 3 times in the same spot at this practice track! I couldn't believe it... once my foot got caught when I was trippling into the sand whoops and I face planted leaving my face all bloody with scratches, a goose egg and a broken helmet. Next one my front brake locked up in them, then the next time I caught the fence and it threw me down. HAHA Yes I know, I didn't have the best of day but the track was good. The race at Millville was really good and got to witness RC pulling off another record! I will be going to New York this week to train and get ready for our next round this weekend (8/19/06) Hope to see you guys there!   Learn from your mistakes!

8/1-6/06-

Well, finally here to Loretta Lynn's again, feeling like we were just there. I came back from Washougal on Sunday morning and rested up for Monday practice. Track was really slick like usual on practice day and really hot! Tuesday, we had a late moto at 4:00pm est. I felt good and the track was in good shape! I got a 2nd place start behind Tarah, we were battling again but I got around her for the first moto win. Then on Thursday was our second moto, I got off to a 4th place start. I battled with Leah Cantrell, Geiger and Whitmore for a few laps then it was just me and Geiger again battling for the lead. I tried to pass her a few times and did but the lappers just didnt work to my advantage there and she would get back by me. I ended up getting second that moto and Geiger won, so that put us into a tie going into the last moto. Friday was going to be the moto I wanted, it was going to be at 5:30pm est, hot and rough. By noon it was pooring down lighting and thunder so bad! There were 2 major storms that came through and it was a mess, they called off the races for the day and Saturday we would race but they had to cut the motos down to 15mins. The guys working the track did an awesome job, the track was in mint shape for the races, but still a little soft in some areas. We ended up racing like around 10:30am. The gate drop, I was in 15th coming around the first corner. Just what I didnt want! I had to work hard and fast, by the 3rd lap I was in 5th but Battling with a train the I had to get around. It was Whitmore, Bash and Foilek. I had to try and pass all three at once and let me tell you that was pretty hard since it was kinda one lined. Finally after I got around them Geiger was 15 seonds ahead of me and only 2 laps to go. I thought I was done but I was not going to give up. I pushed really hard those last few laps and before I knew it I cought Geiger. I knew I had to pass her and I tried, I just couldnt make it stick and she won giving me second overall. Im just glad that I made it out of there healthy and Ill be back for next year!

7/29/06-

I left for Washougal (RD. 3), feeling pretty good about the whole week. We flew in on Friday after some major Delays in the airport so that Eddie could get the bike ready. Practice went really well, I thought the track was in good shape. First moto comes, the gate drops, I thought I had the hole shot until my front end washed out and I was down. I got up and knew I had to charge hard and get as many people as possible so I could get some points. I come from last to first catching Geiger (Tarah)
 with 2 laps to go. The checkerd flag was there waiting for us, I come around the corner before the whoops and the finish and Ill I could see from the corner of my eye was Tarah coming straight for me, I slammed on brakes so we ouldnt hit as hard and she got me back and won. I was a very exciting race, but I was mad. Not because I had lost but I was tired of her riding the way she does. I did do a stupid thing and let my emotions get to me and I started a fight with her. We get back to the pits and talk to her dad to see what all was going on. We said that we would put it all behind us and just race some good racing. Next moto, I got a decent start, I catch up to Geiger again. I waited for the right time to pass her and won the race and the overall. It felt good to win again and off I went that night to Loretta Lynn's for a week long of racing again.

7/20/06-

I just got back from the third round of the WMA in Lakewood, Colorado. Its an awesome track and it was pretty warm there also. The first moto there I got a 6th place holeshot and I knew I had to work my way up fast before the leaders got away. By the 3rd lap I was in 2nd battling with Geiger ahead of me and Prumm behind me. We battled a bit then I seen where I could make my move, I railed the corner around Tarah Geiger and headed to the next corner. I was committed for the corner then Geiger come outta control torwards me and I had no where to go, I crashed leaving Prumm and Geiger to battle. I came back to 7th. Next moto I was MAD! I got a decent start and pushed my way to the front, by the end of the second lap I was leading. From then I just pushed the whole way and won by 35 seconds for a 4th overall and 4 points behind in the Championship. This weekend we have our 4th round at Washougal then catch a red eye to Loretta Lynn's National that will start on Monday (July 31st) I hope to be coming back with a 1-1 and the points lead back, also another Loretta Lynn championship. I have been riding and training all week in TN getting ready for these races and man has it been hot!  Keep checking back and thanks for visiting!

I know it had been a long time since I have gotten to write an update on here but if you could see how busy I have been the past couple of weeks, you would understand. Since the regional I left for Sweden, I got there a week early to ride, get ready for the race and get used to the 6 hour time change. We got to have some fun also during the week, check the place out and left on Friday to the track.When we got there, we walked the track and went to meet the team I rode for over there called Dark Dog Energy Honda. Everyone was really nice and gave me a great bike. The next day practice started and I felt pretty good, the track was awesome, I had fun and all the fast girls were there. (Prumm, Laier, Lancealot, Mann) First moto came and we were all on the start by each other, I had to get my friend Joe to help me on the start because my starting device wasn't on right.The gate dropped and I had a horrible start, I knew then I would have to work hard and fast to catch to the leaders before they got away, but that didn't happen, I had 2 stalls and only could come back to 3rd. After the race the official came up to me and said I had been disqualified because I had help on the gate which I had no clue you couldn't do that.     I was super bumbed about that, and our next moto was after the MX1 and MX2 at the end of the day. The track was super rough, just how I like it, but again I had a decent start and was in 5th. Prumm and I battled a few laps catching the leaders, Prumm passed me back and I ended up crashing a few laps later. Got up, and got 3rd again with Prumm and Laier ahead of me. All in all it was a good experience for me and I got to learn a few things from it. I'm now back in the states in NY training harder and riding more than before because Colorado, Washougal, Loretta Lynn's, Broome and Steel City are all after one week after another and I'm going there to win. I will be at the Unidilla national then headed to Tennessee to ride and train there until Loretta's comes. I hope to see you there and remember sometimes getting beat just makes you stronger.

If you have been checking back lately for updates it sure has been a long time! I have been so busy racing and training, its been hard to keep everything up, so here is what has been going on since Hangtown.  I went back home to do a qualifier for Loretta Lynn's and I won that.  I also did an AMA Supermoto race in NY and had a hard time there, it was the first time I raced it in the rain. Next was Budds Creek, I really like that track and the dirt was really good. I ended up wining both motos there also, so now people kept asking me if I was going to keep the streak going but all I wanted to do was just keep my eyes on the championship and worry about that later. I flew out the next day to go to Mammoth, CA. I really like the whole facility, track and people there. There are so many things to do and you get to race at the same time. I had a rough time there, I got 2nd the first moto due to a bad start and second moto I passed for the lead and crashed, my bike was so hard to get started and I got 10th for 6th overall. I left to come back home and start training and put that behind me and get ready for Colorado, but before that I thought I would go have some more fun and race another AMA Supermoto race and I ended up 16th! That was one of my best finishes and I was so happy since these guys are SO fast.  Now we are headed to Colorado, we got in on Friday and boy it was nice to just fly out there instead of driving. The  first moto I got into a first turn pile up and  Sarah Whitmore was on the inside of me. When I fell on top of her my fingers got caught in her rear sprocket and cut the tip of my middle finger off. It sure hurt like hell but I got all bandaged up and went out for the second moto to try and salvage some points and got second. I eneded up leaving with a 1 point lead!  Pretty stressful compared to my 25 point lead before the race, but I knew I had to just keep my head up and win some more races. The next weekend we flew out to Washougal and I did just that and won both motos, so I pulled back out a 16 point lead. It feels a lot better to have some points going into the last race which will be at Steel City August 26th. I have also been to Loretta's and I think I have the most wins for Second place in a row. haha I got second again this year for like the 6th year in a row, but what can I say? I'll be there again next year!   Now I am waiting for the last race of the WMA to get here, I can't wait!   Last weekend I just raced a local race for fun, this weekend I am at the 4th  annaul W.O.W in Cohocton, NY. Its a really fun track and also a pro purse so I hope to make some money!  Then were off to St
