First round of the 2025 racing season with the American Federation of Motorcyclists (AFM). I had a baby last year and didn't race or do track days, so this is my first ride back after about a year and a half off the bike.

The bike was working well, but my shift linkage broke earlier in the day, and I had to remove the quick shifter. I hadn't gotten used to it yet, so you can hear me using the clutch for a few upshifts at the start of the race. For the rest of the race I used clutchless upshifts. After being away for so long I was a bit sloppy. I managed to get within 2 tenths of my personal best, but only for one lap. Looks like more opportunity for improvement in the future!

Special thanks to Eric Kondo Racing (EKR) team for all of the support at the races. Looking forward to a full and successful year of racing!
