Our opening page from 2013...This was the photo and text from our opening page on our website from 2013. Brienna was just 17 that year. She had just graduated high school and flown out to race the day after graduation. So much awesome memories!
PLEASE HELP BRINA T THERE!
PC: N. Saussy. Brienna took the holeshot in
moto 2 at Anza, CA
Our
daughter, Brienna (age 17) has flown out alone twice this year. Once to race the area
qualifier (Kahuku, Oahu – she placed 1st) and the day after graduation
to the Southwest Regional Championship (Anza, CA – she placed 2nd overall out of
17 women). Only the top 5 from each class and region
moves on to the finals in July at one of the biggest national amateur races in
the United States: Loretta Lynn’s Amateur
Motocross Championship Race held at the famous Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in
Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. For over 30 years,
this race is the only time of year the track is made available for motocross
racing.
Please help get our family of 5 (Brienna, mom and dad, and 2 little sisters) to Tennessee to watch Brienna race at Loretta Lynn’s. Being one of only a few females racing on Maui, Brienna has had to make her way through the ranks -- racing against the boys - and now against the men. She recently graduated high school and has been working part time, socking away every single penny towards fulfilling her lifelong dream of making it PRO. Loretta Lynn’s is where many pro motocross racers are first noticed, so we are hoping this is her shot! Against all odds, Brienna has worked most of her childhood life towards this one goal. The hard work is done - now we just need the FUNDS to make it happen. Please help us out! MAHALO FOR YOUR HELP! Chris, Marlayna, Brienna, Brytni and Rosie Gomes |
Our 2013 supporters.
Last but not least, because of the generosity of each one of the people listed below, all five of us were able to fly to Hurricane Mills, TN for the race in 2013. We are still very grateful for the once in a lifetime experience!
