| Determination
was the word that has put Traci on the podium
for the 2nd straight time this season. With a
nasty first turn collision/ rollover - Traci seemed
to effortlessly roll her Alba Z400 onto it's wheels
and take off in last place to stalk down the Steele
Creek first lap front runners Angel Atwell and
2002 GNCC Champion Stephanie Parton to within
3 seconds. With the Atwell and Parton in her sights,
Traci made good by picking great lines as passing
her way to first by the end of the second lap
and pour on a comfortable 2 minute :41 second
lead at the finish line.
Here's
what Traci had to say about the race...
"My
quad felt great today! After my first turn rollover
I stayed calm and just kept a great pace going
until I found Angel and Stephanie battling it
out - I stayed back and let them pick there lines
and I would always try something different - and
it all worked out and I got my chance to pass
each one of them for the lead. From there on I
resumed my pace and got a nice comfortable lead
by the end of the second lap so I could just cruise
the last 2 laps - I didn't want to make any mistakes
- I needed this win. At
the finish line the referee did not get the checkered
out in time and I was off to start the fifth lap
until my brother flagged me down by the one mile
marker to tell me I had the win!"
