Man the people weren't wrong, this track is awesome!! First day here was fun, the track was a bit tough to learn, but very excited for the race.... Well got a bit too sideways in Turn 2 and unfortunately crashed during the race; but it is a part of racing. I will look forward on to Sonoma.

"The weekend started out amazing earning my first ever professional pole position!! After this I was so excited and anxious for the race to come underway. In race 1 it was a close one, it was Ben, Cory, and I that had pulled away at the front and after leading a decent amount of the race ended up 3rd at the line just .06 off Cory to whom had won. This race was a lot of fun and I was so pumped for race 2. Race 2 was a awesome one, it started out with me getting the hole shot and then Ben and I pulled away from the rest of the group. We were going fast and pushing each other getting into low 1:12s throughout the whole race! After a crazy race and last lap I was able to pull off the win! I gotta thank 1/4Ley Racing, Dale Quarterley and Bob Robbins so much for all they have done for me and for giving me a bike setup awesome and prepared to perfection! This weekend was amazing and a weekend to remember for sure!"
