Fast Girls Invitational at AMA Finale
Fast Girls Invitational at AMA finale
The Fast Girls Invitational in the SupermotoUSA series will see some of the top women riders face off in a fusion of dirt track racing, motocross and road racing. The Supermoto track is a purpose-built track that is a mix of asphalt for speed (road) racing, dirt with flat turns for flat-track racing and rollers and hits for motocross.
Rebecca Reichardt has been riding motorcycles since she was four years old and grew up around bikes as her parents owned a motorcycle shop. She has been competing in SupermotoUSA for just a year and races to escape.
When you are on a bike racing, you cant think about anything else, says Reichardt. You block everything else out and focus on the bike, pavement and passing the person in front of you.
Kim Kridel is owner of Mammoth Motorsports in Rohnert Park, Calif., and she started
riding motorcycles three years ago. She rode in her first SupermotoUSA race last year in Reno after only one day of practice.
I got thrown out there on the dirt and loved it, says Kridel.
Zoe Rem always wanted a dirt bike and saved up to buy a Honda CRF150 at age 16. She grew up in New York and decided to move to northern California to pursue motorcycle racing. Living in the Bay Area and working at Motostrano, the local motorcycle shop, was the perfect combination and to keep Rem in gear, parts and with plenty of seat time.
Rem, like Kridel, competed in her first race after one day of practice. She raced in the first Fast Girls Invitational and it was, as she says, an ego blast to be on the podium and get a trophy.
