Shelina gives us the rundown on Sunday's happenings, from killing it on the TTX going from 14th to 7th,  to a 4th place on a completely unprepared, yet surprisingly up to the task, prototype Engage.  And as much insight into the going ons with the RRs that she could provide.  And as usual I ask numb questions about the track.

Thanks so much for doing this great interview. I've never been a big follower of racing, but Shelina's enthusiasm and sharing her experiences in detail was a captivating inside view. Her excitement is contagious. And you had great questions to draw it out of her.

Yeah, let's get her back on the Engage, properly prepared, and let her kick some butt. I think that move is key to putting the Brammo name in front of the kids. C'mon Brammo! C'mon Parker! Let her ride! (You'll be glad you did!) ;D

Great job on this, Richard.  She is such a fun listen.

I really want to see some video of her on the Engage against the other supermoto riders.

It sounds like Brammo captured video. I hope we see video of the racing after they get some time to decompress. I appreciate the track cameras at Sonoma, but they're honestly almost useless between frequent advertisements (often DURING the race) and the low resolution.

flar was kind enough to hop on the Google+ hangout and show us Shelina hopping on the Engage for a test run around the supermoto track. Thank you flar!

Shelina sounds like she had a blast. I really appreciate her taking time to talk with ttxgpfan, and ttxgpfan for getting the podcasts up very quickly.

Thanks guys!  I'm trying to get Brian, but the timing doesn't seem to be working out.  However, I did just get off the phone with Jeff Smith of SRI and their EV1 electric buggy.  I STILL have 3 conversations with college teams I have to get out.  AHHHHHH!  :o

I'm really glad Shelina and I did good enough to suck in a non-racing type Shinny.  Thank you.  If you want to hear her REALLY excited listen to the one labeled "Shelina Spills the Beans".  It's a wrap up of Saturday's practice.  She was sooo stoked about the Engage showing up.
