could work well for endeav-
ors later in life. Yet she's
firmly focused on making
racing her living and enjoy-
ing a long career—at 21 she's
just over half the age of the
current Superbike champion,
so as long as she gets faster
and remains healthy, there's
no reason why the fast-
est female rider in the U.S.
couldn't see herself racing
fulltime in Europe.
"That's the dream, to race
World Superbike," she says.
"Originally it was MotoGP,
but now it seems if you're not
growing up doing Moto3 and
Moto2, it's really tough.
"I think you can jump from
AMA to World Superbike,
but you have to have at least
a championship under your
belt, or be on the podium
every single week here.
Obviously that's something
that's going to have to come
first before I make that jump,
if it ever happens. I'm trying
to do two things at once—run
a team and also focus on the
racing—but if I can continue
to grow the team and get to
the level I want then I can
focus more on the riding side
of it.
"Absolutely, Europe is
where I want to be. But I'm
going to do my best here
first." CN
THERE'S
CERTAINLY
RIDERS WHO
ARE WINNING
RACES WEEK-IN-WEEK-
OUT WHO ARE DOING
QUITE WELL, BUT IF I
WANT TO KEEP RACING
AND MAKE MONEY
TO LIVE, NO ONE'S
GOING TO GIVE ME
THAT OPPORTUNITY. I
HAVE TO MAKE IT FOR
MYSELF.
Myers' Superbike
lacks the
electronic
sophistication
of the factory
Superbikes, so
she's learning the
old school way.
