This is a collection of replica ponies that I made for my friends to give 'em a dose of Pony Magic. "Pony Magic" is the equivalent of "Good Karma" or, for those of you who aren't down with Eastern Philosophy it is the equivalent of "Good Luck". For those of you who still don't get it, think of the opposite effect of a voodoo doll. Still don't get it? Maybe you should log-off and go back to Hooters and watch the big game.
This is the Mat Mladin replica pony I made for Mat in 2007. As you may have noticed he's not on my "Pony Pals" page because I was too shy to give it to Mat when I saw him. When I approached him at the track he said "hi" to me in that magical accent then my tongue got magically tied up like a friggin' idiot so I fled the scene. LAME!

I made this replica pony for Ben Spies so I could give it to him at the 2007 AMA race at Mid-Ohio. He was standing with Kevin Schwantz right in front of me as I was talking to Kevin (an OG pony pal) but guess what? I had another cerebral malfunction and couldn't speak a word to him! So, I did the cowardly thing and sent it to him as a gift on Facebook. SO LAME!

This is a STAR School replica pony that I made for "The Professor" himself. Jason taught me how to rock the track and then invited me to join his possy so in exchange, I gave him some pony magic. Click on the pony to find out more about the STAR School.Here is the "Professor", Jason Pridmore's replica pony that I made him after he asked me to join his team at The STAR School. For those of you who don't know Jason personally he's just about the funnest and nicest guy around. What he ISN'T is the STAR School Words With Friends #1 Plate Holder. That special person is ME!

Here you see pony pal Steve Rapp. No, Steve doesn't perform with the all-male review, "Thunder From Down Under". Rather, he rocks the racetrack and took the Sunshine State by storm in '07 by winning the Daytona 200. If you're lucky enough to get a two-up ride from the Rapper you'll feel the pony magicHe

A couple years back I heard that Jake Zemke was going to be at Buttonwillow Raceway so I made him a replica pony and gave it to him. I have never seen a smile as big as Jake's when I gave him the pony. He was so full of Pony Magic! What's cooler is that Jason Pridmore went to Jake's house a couple months later and saw the pony displayed on Zemke's mantle. TOTALLY PONYRIFIC!!

This little super star was made for my pal Brett McCormick. Brett races on the Jordan Suzuki Team and has several redeeming qualities which I would like to point out for those who don't know him: 1. He can rock a mustache. There are only 2 people in the world in my opinion who can pull it off and Brett is one of them (click on his pony to view). 2. Brett forms complete sentences and uses proper punctuation when he texts which I highly admire (i h8 whn peeps txt lik dis). There are a gazillion more qualitites which I would like to note but have no more space here. But as much as I heart him he has one flaw ... he uses the word "zed" instead of "z". Who actually says, "hey JP, let's take a ride in the zed-o-six?" NO ONE!! I know you're Canadian but say it right 'eh! |
You all probably know the girl wonder Elena Myers. If you don't, pick up a Roadracing World magazine and flip to the "Girl Racer" section where she writes accounts of annihilating all the guys at the races ... totally pony. She recently made history as the first female to win an AMA National. Next stop ... Rossi's nemesis. We heart Elena!!!
|
This sassy little replica was made for my pony pal Cory West. No doubt you have seen Corey, "Lucky 13", at an AMA race or at one of the Team Hunter afterparties, where silicone and hand jobs never go out of fashion. Corey is now on a new team but is still a superstar and never too stuck up to play Nerf football with me!
|
This is my previous WERA National Endurance partner Hawk Mazzotta's replica pony. I made it for him after we got 2nd place in our class at Miller Motorsports. You may know Hawk from walking around the paddock and thinking to yourself, "Who is that babe ... and why is he listenening to that aweful country music?". What you may not know is that Hawk throws a mean Nerf spiral AND used to be a professional bull rider. Hawk is suuuuper pony! |
This is a little pony I made for Brandon Cretu. I normally don't make ponies for people I have never met but Brandon emailed me and said he needed a pony before he went to the Isle of Man to race the TT. My response went something like this, "F$%ck YES I'll make you a pony!" I gave him the pony when he came to the STAR School at Chuckwalla raceway and I have to admit he's suuuuuper pony!!!! Good luck Brandon!! Anyone who races the Isle of Man is tits in my book! We all heart you!

Here is AFM racing sensation and fellow STAR School instructor Dave Stanton's replica pony. I like to tell people that this little pony was responsible for Dave receiving the AFM #1 plate in 2008 but most people know it's just a blatant lie. Dave is pretty ponyrific on his own. Sufficed to say ... the pony DID help a little!
|
This is the Chris Siglin replica pony I made for him after Dave Stanton told me Chris was his bff. I met Chris at an AFM race where he totally rocked the house and when he saw Stanton's pony he got really excited and wanted one of his very own. How could I refuse??
|
This is one of the two replica ponies I made for Loris Capirossi. The first one he signed for me so I could keep it on my mantle with my statue of Ganesh that I bought in Nepal and my great uncle Homer's artificial eye. The second one (seen here) he got to keep and when I gave it to him, his wife exclaimed in the most adorable voice I have ever heard, "Ahhhh, pony piccolo!". I just about died ... it was Pony Magic! |
Here is a replica pony I made for Frankie Chili as a "Get Well Soon" present after he broke his pelvis during WSB testing at Misano. OUCH!! He needed a good dose of Pony Magic to recover.
|
In 2007, when the STAR School went to Autobahn Country Club I was told Michael Jordan might show up so I made him his very own team pony. I was nervous all day wondering what the heck a girl like me would say to Michael Jordan ... "uh, nice Aston Martin" or "want to play some Nerf football?". Unfortunately he never showed but it may have been a blessing in disguise. |
If you have been to a WERA West round in the last 5 years you have probably seen a hot racer girl doing yoga in her pit before the races. She is the same girl, the ONLY girl who races a literbike, works on her own bike, works on her own cars and builds diesel engines all while wearing glitter nail polish. Who is this phenom you ask? Krystyna Kubran that's who. Krystyna's replica is seen here in her super sassy Lizard Pro suit.
|
This is a pretty little replica pony I made for WERA West and AFM SV650 superbabe racer Christie Cooley. The first time I met Christie at Buttonwillow Raceway she came over to my pit and introduced herself and I felt like a total tard because I got tongue tied by her beauty ... AND did I mention she races? Christie is totally ponyrific and supports female riders and racers everywhere. Check out her website, www.passedbyachick.com

This little cutie is the Joy Higa replica. Superfast Joy races WERA West and AFM on her Yamaha R6 and dishes out the smack-down on the boys. I first met Joy when she attended The STAR School at Thunderhill Raceway in Willows, CA. I was riding one of the school's SV650s (I was being punished for screwing around on the 750, which I usually ride) and Joy came screaming by on her R6 and left me for dead. She was rockin' it and I knew at that moment we needed to be friends! |
I don't normally make replica ponies for non-racers but this one is an exception. This is a replica of my mechanic/crew chief CJ Culley. No doubt you have seen CJ at one of the WERA West races working on my bike or standing at the wall taking my times ... she's the smokin' hot one with the clip board ... AND NO ... she won't be your mechanic SHE's MINE! Oh, did I happen to mention she flies airplanes too? Oh, and to answer all the same questions that I get everytime I go to the track with her, "No, she's WAY out of your league". |
Here is a little pony I made for my friend Shandra Crawford. Shandra races in the AFM and WERA roadracing series' and totally rocks it. She also skydives which blows my mind because I have a slight fear of heights and a fear of becoming a pony pancake should my chute fail. Back to my point ... Shandra rules and what I love about her pony is that it looks just like her ... blonde and adorable!
|
This is a pretty little replica pony that I made for Jessica Zalusky when she was racing AMA on a Kawasaki. When I watched my first road race on TV I saw her racing against all the boys and she was instantly my hero. A couple years later, she emailed me out of the blue and asked me to make her a pony. OMG! I was soooo excited!!
|
This little sweet tart is one of a collection of seven Femmoto ponies that I made for a few of the control riders of Femmoto in 2007.
|
This is a replica pony I made for Femmoto owner Bonnie Strawser after she invited me to be one of her control riders for the yearly event. I had to do something REALLY nice for her because the first year I was there I was dicin' it up with the boys and apparently we scared a bunch of participants when we passed them WAY too close. Here it is three years later and I still feel the need to apologze ... sorry Bon Bon!
|
Here is a little pony I made for Femmoto co-control rider Super Sarah. Super Sarah pony is rocking the "Bonzai" jacket and pants from Fairchild Sports' G-Line collection. If you would like to get to know this pretty lady better check out her website, www.supersarah.net

This pony has a special place in my heart. I made it for Sport Rider Magazine's Senior Editor Andrew Trevitt. Andrew was so proud of this pony that he would feed it dark chocolate in the office and he even took it to a Ducati 1098 test in Qatar (as seen above). If you know Andrew you know he is a phenominal guy but you also know he was in a devastating motorcycle accident which he is still recovering from. Take some time to read his blog and give him a shout out because if anyone needs a dose of Pony Magic it's my buddy Trev. |
When I used to test for the magazine I met the Joe Rocket rep, Kelly Dodds. I loved her immediately so I made her a pony wearing the Joe Rocket women's "Trixie" suit. I am wearing the real suit in the background being a total poser with an MV Augusta (not mine unfortunately). If you want your very own Joe Rocket "Trixie" suit (available in many sizes and colors) check out the site, www.joerocket.com

This is a replica pony I made for a friend of mine, Nancy Chui, who races 125s ... at least she used to. I think she crashed every time she rode but standing at about 4'11" she was the cutest little thing I have ever seen on a bike. She had the cutest set of custom Kushitani leathers too! Totally pony!

These last three ponies are ones I made for friends. This first one is a dirty little ho' like the girl I made it for ... |
This second one is a dominatrix (okay, I made this one for myself) ... |
..and this little gem is a rock star that I made for a biostatistician |
