Southwick (Home track) 2024

I came into this race feeling especially excited because it was my first pro hometown race. Racing on familiar turf, with friends and family in the stands, gave me an extra boost of motivation. The track conditions were exactly what you'd expect from Southwick—rough and challenging, but that's all part of the fun!

Qualifying didn’t go as smoothly as I had hoped. I was trying to find my rhythm and get into the flow of things but still managed to make it straight to the motos with a 30th place finish in qualifying.

Moto 1 was a bit of a struggle. I had a rough start and didn’t quite feel in sync, but I pushed through, made a few passes early on, and finished 28th. Moto 2 was a better start for me, and I focused on maintaining a steady pace throughout the race. I was able to improve a bit and ended up with a 26th place finish.
