From a press release issued by Matt Myers:

Arclight Suzuki’s Elena Myers wraps up mini amateur GP title.

Stockton California – Under partly cloudy skies with temps in the low 90’s, Arclight Suzuki rider Elena Myers became the youngest female road racer in American history to win the coveted and generally fastest, “Premiere 80GP Expert class”.

In only her first year of full time road racing, 10 year old Elena, who had won the last three 80 GP road races held at the Stockton Motorplex Park, (Home of the SMRRC) wasted no time in securing yet another convincing main event win to assure her of the championship with one round of the series still remaining. Riding her Suzuki RM 85 converted into a road racer, Elena found the chassis and set up of her bike to work just fine even though most of her competitors race chassis bikes or converted Honda RS125/80’s. When asked by the SMRRC race director, “What do you think of all this?”

Elena responded, “It’s been a great first season and I have gained a lot of experience and had an awesome time. I have met and raced against a lot of fast people, grown-ups and kids my age. I can’t wait til next year”!
