LATEST SNIPPET

On April 25 I got my first 1st place sand dragging. I always set my sites on the fastest guy in my class. Three years in a row this guy has raced undefeated in our class. And this year I beat him.

Bio

Birthdate: 04/28/1977
Birth Place: Roseburg, Oregon
Current Home Base: Columbia Falls, Montana
Add Additional Information: I sand drag and mud bog.
My ride is a 1974 Toyota Land Cruiser with a BBC 454, built by Draband Performance Engines. I race a street legal class. But we are currently making a class jump with the 74, this means bigger tires, bigger engine, lighter chassis. We also purchased a rail car. That one will debut April 2010.
Who started you: My husband did. The odd thing is, I'm a 4th generation racer.
Biggest influence: Influenced nah, I just got tired of sitting in the stands. Who made the rule that men get to have all the fun.
Women you admire: Colleen Beal, my grandmother. She dirt tracked way, way, way back in the day .
Father's Thoughts: It scares him to death.
Your encouragement to others: Be persistent and tough. Being cute will get you in the gates free, but being tough will get you in the seat.
Description: Up above I had said you needed to "Be persistent and tough\" well I think I forgot determined. I just purchased two 39.5 x 18 Boggers in Spokane Washington. I had to tie both to the top of my Hyundai and drive 270 miles, through 3 states home. I had about 3/4 of an inch clearance between the back tire and the fender. Guess I should not have stuffed the 205 transfer case in the trunk first.
