Summer Break Re-Cap
Team Off Camber Racing/Pro Moto Billet/Fastway
Summer break has flown by and while most of the Off Camber Racing/Pro Moto Billet/Fastway team has enjoyed a little break from the GNCC series, Mandi Mastin has still been on the bike, racing periodically throughout the summer, preparing for the International Six Day Enduro in Greece, September 1-6.
During the 8 th round of the GNCC Series, in Yadkinville, North Carolina, defending Womens Champion Mandi Mastin sustained a knee injury. Initially, doctors thought that the injury was minor and only being two months prior to the start of the ISDE, they would be able to surgical repair the injury and all would be fine. As more tests were concluded, it appears that the ACL is possibly torn and with such a short time frame, surgery before the ISDE was not an option. Over the course of the past 2 months, Mandi has undergone intense physical therapy and training to build the muscles around the knee and is currently experimenting with different knee braces, positions and supports. “My goals for the remainder of the year are to first, go to the ISDE in Greece and as a team bring back the Women’s World Championship. After that, when I return, I will see my doctor again, get re-examined and do another MRI and determine the best course of action. Ultimately, I have to start thinking about next year and making sure that surgery and rehab are done in a significant amount of time so that I can be well healed and ready for the beginning of the 2009 season. As of right now, I am still leading the Women’s’ class in two series; the National=2 0Enduro Series and the OMA Series. Being committed to my sponsor, I would still like to regain the Women’s GNCC Championship before calling an end to the 2008 season.”
