| Ready to jump in the truck at her premiere LORORS race. |
Where and when was your first competition?
My first race was in the 2007 MORE Powderpuff Race for the Cure. My first short course race was in July 2011.
How did you do in that?
I finished and that was my overall goal being it was my first race. However I did post the third fastest lap time in the class with over 10 other drivers racing. I did come back in 2010 to the same race and took 1st place in a pro class. In my short course premiere I blew a hole in my motor the size of my fist but still ended up with a podium finish!

Gotta rock the pink stickers! |
What was your first “race” car?
1997 Nissan Hardbody.
How old were you when you started racing?
18 years young.

Game face for the main event! |
Do/did you get flack from the guys you race against? Or have the guys always accepted you as a female in your series?
Currently I am the only woman in my class and with that a lot of the guys in my races give me “crap” because they are afraid I will beat them. I have raced with a couple of the guys in my series since 2007 so they already know who they should really watch out for. I love the reaction I get from other drivers when I can outdrive them and they don’t find out I’m a girl until the race is over and I finished in front of them.
Is there other racers in your series (you don't have to name, names) that you love beating?
I will be honest, I like to be able to beat the guys! There might be a couple ones that try to shrug me off as just “the girl” so I really like to beat them.
Who does the work on your car?
Sean Kepler as my crew chief and the whole ICON Vehicle Dynamics crew along with the always extraordinary help of Tim Duncan from DMZ Fab & Race Prep.
