Powderpuff Race for the Cure

Well we are back and we had a blast!! It was so awesome. Our desert race Teryx took on a nasty 23 mile loop in Barstow. We left in the first heat with a total of 10 UTV's in our class. Mostly Rhino's expect us and 1 other Teryx and a Artic Cat. We left in the 2nd position. We thought we would take it easy the first couple laps. By mile 1 we were already passing our 1st rhino, thinking this is easy... Until all of a sudden 2 rhino's jumped out in front of us... By mile 2 the race was on... We got putin 3rd place quick... We were not having that.. there was a traffic jam on a one way hill and it became chaotic... then we grabbed 2nd.. we held second unitl the 7th mile in lap 3. We were run ning behind Cory Weller from weller racing. She has an 800cc rhino and she was super fast and a great judge of which path to take. All we have done to our motor is a Dynatek CDI box, a clutch and a Two Brothers Ehxaust. So here weas our chance a huge "S" turn on mile 7, we got her on top end. We were in 1st position. She passed around mile 15 when we got stuck behind a truck and then we were able to take her again throught he whoops! Our Teryx was soaking up the whoops like they were not even there... We held the lad the last 2 laps... we ended up pitting 3 times twice for gas and once to check tires. Our pit crew was so awesome our last pit was only 10 seconds. My navigator was super awesome, she stayed calm and cool the whole time and even lied to me to get me moving quicker... Good job Jennifer...Nothing broke or gave us any problems during the race. The Teryx and all the components and aftermarket parts were flawless. It brought us to an awesome victory by leading 4 minutes and 9 seconds at the finish line. This was my first race.. "Ladies Only" and I am hooked. Thank you to all my sponsors for making this race possible you all rock.. And my pit crew and all my family and friends for their support... And of course my hsband for building a bad ass Teryx that I feel super spoiled with!!!
Not to bad for our 1st desert racer and 1st time behind the wheel in a race!
