most amazing racer, I just learned of, Elena Myers

http://elenamyers.com/ 

1st woman to win a pro race at Daytona, age 18 , 1st woman to win an AMA pro race, age 16.

At age 14 qualified as the only woman in the AMA Red Bull Rookie cup

Astounding huh!

Rides a Triumph Daytona 675R

"In her first season as a pro rider, she made history by becoming the first female to win an AMA Pro Road Racing sprint race with a SuperSport West victory at Infineon Raceway in 2010. Myers achieved her second career win at Daytona International Speedway in March 2012, becoming the first woman ever to win a professional motorsports race at the famous racetrack."

    1. Storm ol buddy, the 18 year old won at Daytona, and no other woman ever has. None. Ever. That is the peak of winning, no woman has ever matched that achievement, or won a pro race as young, or both.
