Beth Chryst is an up and coming star in the World Karting Association and Woodbridge Kart Club. She is also a kind neighbor, good daughter, sweet and caring granddaughter, works a full-time job to support her racing events, and has roadmap plan of goals, and knows where she needs to go and what she needs to accomplish to get there.

Beth could have been a runway model, tall, brunette, beautiful, and smart, with luminescent dark brown eyes. But while she is beautiful in evening clothes, or a chic business suit, you will find her with wrenches in her hand in her spare time – Beth has a different goal – to hone her racing skills through her love of Karting and winning while continuing to fine tune her racing skills through training at several of the top NASCAR driving schools.

Although Beth has always had a love for cars, speed, and NASCAR, she began her quest for racing greatness by renting a kart at an event at the Woodbridge Kart Club that allowed her 15 minutes to gain the thrill for karting, the need for speed, and the challenge for winning. After that, she was hooked.

Born and raised in Herndon, Virginia as an only child, Beth graduated from Herndon High School with an advanced diploma, and was named Who’s Who among American High School Students. While attending Herndon High School, Beth was on a fast pitch softball team.

When she is not racing, Beth works as Project Administrator for Toll Brothers, Incorporated, continues her college education at Northern Virginia Community College, coaches and plays softball, and enjoys her dog Skipper and 1 year old puppy Lacy. Beth not only enjoys driving cars but she has turned the wrenches on her karts and her 2003 MINI Cooper S, installing an exhaust and an intake system to increase the Cooper S performance.

In order to achieve her long-term goal of becoming a professional racecar driver, Beth continues to attend as many races as possible. She began her Karting career in the Briggs Jr. Sprint Lite and Heavy class, graduated to the Briggs Sprint 335 and 360 class and currently participates in the Spec 125 and ICC/WKA CIK.

Within her first season in Spec 125, Beth found herself winning a World Championship and three Regional Championships across the East Coast. In 2005 Beth began preparing for her next step up from Karting by attending the Skip Barber Racing Drivers School to hone her skills and testing for Bob Gelles Racing in the Formula Renault F2000. She then followed up with the Skip Barbers Advanced Two Day Racing School.

In 2006, Beth anticipates winning the Karting Championship for Spec 125 and ICC/WKA CIK with hopes of attracting sponsorship for racing in an openwheel series. With four wins under her belt she is hopeful for a strong finish in the 2006 season. With the season coming to an end Beth has a Regional Championship in Sprint Shifter 1 with Woodbridge Kart Club. When the national season came to an end, Beth finished out 5th place in WKA/ICC CIK 1, 4th place in WKA/ICC CIK 2 and 6th place in Spec 125 Sprint. She is looking forward to see what 2007 brings her.
