Friday evening Jen competed in a 4th of July Motorcycle Shootout at San Antonio Raceway where she proceeded to show those boys who was boss of the dragway. Jen pulled her best time down the San Antonio quarter mile at 9.23 seconds, 155 mph on her GSXR 1000.
At that point she had to make the decision as to what her ET (estimated time) would be for competition (can’t go too fast, and can’t go too slow), so she set it at 9.3 seconds - a new San Antonio track record for females. She purred (or should I say roared?) through the first few rounds of competition in the Street ET and the Pro ET classes when, during a break in the race competition, a cager (motorcycle racer's definition of a race car driver) went down the track dumping his whole load of synthetic oil along the entire ¼ mile!
Track officials worked until after 11:30 p.m. before announcing it a lost cause for the night. What a disappointment. She had those two races in the bag! So, although disappointed she didn’t get an opportunity to finish those boys off, it was still great to see them all shaking in their boots!
