We want to thank SMRI for holding Round One and welcoming the participants through out the weekend and hope to have an even better showing come October 2008 where the final event of the Women of the West series take place at the Sandia MotorSpeedway!

I would also like to thank all the gals and guys that came out to support from CO!!! Extremely proud of all of you in taking the time out to participate, in having a great turn out, great attitudes, which in turn made for a wonderful experience. The weekend was filled with spectacular racing weather and it was cool to share this event with the SMRI club.

The race was an interesting one for sure!

Edda Tully on her ZX-10 was on Pole, with a spectacular start she got the hole shot into turn one. Kate closing in behind her was able to dice it up with Edda the entire way. Moriah soon reached the top two and it became a three-way battle for first!
One lap prior to the white flag there was an on track incident causing a waving yellow flag situation during that same time Edda was closing in on lapped traffic, SMRI officials stated she had passed the individual under the waving yellow resulting in the SMRI officials calling a penalty to the first place racer docking her a lap. After an official protest the SMRI held their decision consequently for Edda not receiving the first place finish and granting the First place finish to go to Kate Stewart.

Official results will be posted at www.smri-racing.org/ (http://www.smri-racing.org/)

Most excellent congratulations to our Colorado Tour de Force! That would have been a great event to be at. I do believe some support crews from Colorado came down. Great job and sincere thanks to all who participated in this event. It looks to be a fine addition to the action at the MRA.

^^^Just pointing out Edda took pole any had a chance at winning, all aboard a fine Kawasaki :)

True, she is fast and should do well ay pueblo on the big bike. I also heard Katie arrived at the track sunday moring and got little practice on a track she had never been to before.
