From a press release:
Zalusky has taken well to Pro Thunder
Former American Snowboarding Champion, Jessica Zalusky, made her national racing debut racing AMA Pro Thunder at Pikes Peak and Road America for the newly formed team, RevUp Ducati. Previously racing CCS and CRA series, Zalusky is racing a Ducati 748, which was previously raced by 2000 Pro Thunder Champion, Mike Smith.
After only having two days of practice on the new bike, Zalusky took fast to the twin and to the track at Pikes, finishing strong in 11th place. After Pikes, Zalusky set her sights on a top finish at Road America, finishing strong once again in 13th place. After only racing two of the three rounds of Pro Thunder, Zalusky is tied in points for 11th place.
Next on the schedule for Zalusky is the AMA round at Brainerd International Raceway. Zalusky, a Minnesota native, has set her sights on a podium finish at her home track. After Brainerd, Zalusky will wrap up her AMA season at Laguna Seca along with racing a few other CRA and CCS sanctioned events.
Along with Rev Up and Ducati, Zalusky is appropriately sponsored by Teknic, Michelin, HJC Helmets, Motul, VP Racing Fuels, and EPRC.
