Race Updates

February 28-March 4 2008- We went to Indianapolis to learn more about the business side of racing. It was great and there was a lot of great speakers that helped us to understand the financial, insurance, and sponsorship parts of racing. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!

Nov 14th 2007 - Went to the first Lyn St. James Driver Development training class in Phoenix, AZ. Did physical and mental preparedness. Boy was this a bit overwhelming.

Oct 7th 2007- Accepted into the Lyn St. James Driver Development Program. See attachment for more information about this years program. Women in the Winner’s Circle Foundation or go to http://www.lynstjames.com/lsj_ddp.htm

July 7th 2007 - Rained out

July 1st - North Star called the race at 1:00 pm due to the rain front coming in and dumping water on us.

June 30th - The Holmes family came down from Fairbanks and uped the count of Bandos to 9. Annita was leading in the 1st heat until Tyler & Travis Holmes got around her. In the 2nd & 3rd heats the car started doing spins (and it wasn't the drivers fault this time) As we looked at the car on Sunday we found that the chain was binding up and the brake was dragging. She's currently holding 1st place for North Star Speedway Bandolero points and 47th out of 115 for INEX (600 Racing) Nation-wide Points.

June 23rd - The racing was good and clean this weekend. Thought we might be rained out but it cleared up nicely.Annita was hot and fast all weekend long. Lots of good clean exciting passing. in the 2nd heat, Annita come from the back of the pack and took 1st.  In the main race Annita was able to get up and move, she was a least 1 corner ahead of everyone else at one time.

June 16th - Annita started the evening with a win which gave her a great high. Took another 1st in the 2nd heat. Was in 2nd catching up with the leader when the clutch went out, good thing she did come in, the spindle was bent and rubbing on the tire - she could've easily blown a tire.

June 9th - Annita started with a win! Lots of door banging in the main, good racing, everyone finished the race.

June 2nd - Trying to get the car lined out and stay away from the wall. In the main heat she had a driver break a tie rod and come into her and took her out of the race too.

May 27th - Ran main race from previous day. Annita got up and walked away! She took first! Then in the second main race of the day, she thought she'd see what the wall in turn 2 looked like. She spun and hit the wll. Bent the backend,  but thanks to DAD busting butt &  her sponsor Fat Fab she was able to go racing next weekend.

May 26th - 1st win in the 1st heat, then got stuck in the back of the pack and couldn't get around. Main race was rained out.

May 20 - Still learning, no major damage or repairs (good racing)

May 19th - Relearning to race with other drivers, finding her "line" on the track and avoiding spins.
