It takes a lot to impress a motorcycle racing fan. While any professional athlete in any professional sport has to have some kind of physical and psychological mastery above and beyond that of mere mortals, our athletes take all that super-human crap, zip it up in a leather suit, throw on a...

99-riders showed up for Round 8 of the 2012 AMA Pro RoadRacing series July 27-29th at the Mazda-Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, California.  99 riders, and a bitch ain’t one…there were four (it’s a JayZ song; just go with it). Shelina Moreda, Elena Myers, Melissa Paris, and...

With most of them having at least a season-opener under their belts, women racers are making an impressive grab for the action in the 2012 professional motorcycle race season.  Not a girly league out there, and kudos to the commentators who’ve given the girls their due: SPEED’s...

Elena Myers Leads the Way for Women Riders at Season Opener in Daytona Women competitors impressed everyone at the AMA Pro Racing season opener last week-end in Daytona, Florida, led by 18 year-old Elena Myers, who made history on St.Patrick’s Day as the first woman ever...

I know…I missed a race.  Like I said, these girls are hard to follow!  I was so mesmerized by the meandering meadows of Road America, I took my time watching as much of the action SPEED TV would throw at me (which inevitably excludes the SuperSport class).  So a quick update of the...

Just how wet was it?  Click here. (don’t have a picture that shows you how cold yet). Neither rain, nor sleet, nor freezing-ass-cold rain could keep the girls back at the third round of competition in AMA ProRoad Racing last week-end at Miller Motorsports Park in Toole, Utah.  Though I...

Despite disparaging personal assessments (Melissa Paris used the word “crappy”) the women racers continued to impress at Infineon Raceway for Round 2 of the 2011 AMA Pro Road Racing season last week-end (yes, you really did, ladies).  Although two out of three of them had...

Who’s goin’ to Infineon this week-end?!  Look for me in the pits as I head out to cover the three women racing AMA Pro this year, each one of them poised to make a serious impression: Elena Myers…currently in second place in AMA SuperSport West…she won this race last...
