I think this is very exciting and we should be very proud of Elena!

Elena Myers - First female to win an AMA Pro Road Race

SONOMA, Calif. (May 15, 2010) — Elena Myers, a teenager from Discovery Bay, made history on Saturday at Infineon Raceway, becoming the first female in history to win an AMA Pro Road Race.

Myers, who came close to victory earlier this season in Fontana (fourth) and Daytona, Fla. (seventh), came away with the win in the SuperSport class in front of a roaring hometown crowd in the Sonoma Valley.

“I’m in another world right now,” Myers said minutes after the race. “I can’t believe it.”

Elena was riding a Suzuki 600, in race trim these bikes hit close to 190 mph on the straights.
