N.Z\'s womens motocross champion, eighteen year old Tania
Satchwell of Taupo, raced into the history books at the
A.M.A Houston Supercross on March the 13th.
Tania and the U.S.A\'s Nikki Harris were the first women to
race for pro teams in supercross, previously a male only
domain.
Tania was selected by the Mexican Kawasaki/AGP Race Team to
race in the Pro 125 supercross.
Although not able to qualify Tania described the experience
as one she will never forget with an unbelievable atmosphere.
She rode in front of a crowd of 50,000 people with a television
audience of 1.5 million viewers.
Tania received tremendous exposure and was involved in up
to six interviews daily the week of the event from newspapers,
television, radio, industry, and internet
reporters and spent hours signing autographs.
She is now based in Houston and training for the Ladies
International Cup to be raced on the 17th of April.
I am sure that all New Zealand moto-cross riders join with me
in wishing her all the best.
