Jianna Evaristo experienced a great season aboard her Valley Services Scrappers Racing Buell. A rising star in Pro Stock Motorcycle, Jianna currently holds the speed record among females in the ultra-competitive category. After rain delays on Friday, Jianna took to the track on Saturday laying down an impressive run of 6.871 at 200.80. She really picked up the pace in the second heat of the day, powering to a stunning lap of 6.834 at 202.09.
Starting eliminations from the No. 12 spot on the ladder, Jianna faced No. 5 qualifier Steve Johnson in the first round. Johnson got the starting line advantage and held on to it for the win. Despite an early exit, Jianna feels optimistic about what’s to come.
“We’ve had a very successful season, looking back on it,” said Jianna. “I’ve had the best performing season of my career, which is ironic because of how today ended up. I wanted to finish higher in points but it’s the best performance I’ve ever had. We’ve come a long way this season and I’m proud of all we’ve done. I have a lot to work on in the off-season and I’m looking forward to making some big changes to help me become a better racer next year now that I feel more comfortable on my motorcycle. One thing that will remain the same is riding this Buell. It’s been a challenge but I love it! It’s the best decision and after using this year as a kind of training year to familiarize myself with the new bike, next year is going to be really incredible.”
