Two top 10s for Lajoie in California

By John Hopkins

Making her debut in WERA's Expert division, Ile-Perrot, QC racer Nadine Lajoie rode her Honda CBR600RR to a pair of top 10 finishes at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA last Sunday.

Lajoie placed fourth in Women's Super Stock and eighth in Middleweight Senior Superbike on her Catalyst Reaction-backed Honda. She completed her day with 18th in B Superbike (750cc) and 20th in C Superbike (600cc) and almost beat her personal best lap time on the Auto Club Speedway circuit. The day was distinguished by bitterly cold and cloudy conditions.

“I’m very proud of the accomplishment," said Lajoie of her move up to the Expert ranks. "It means a lot to me to race against the best of the best. I really looked to push my limits and step out of my comfort zone as far as my abilities on the track.”

Lajoie will be right back in action this Sunday at Willow Springs Raceway in Rosamond, CA.
