VOL. 52 ISSUE 31 AUGUST 4, 2015 P87 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.
