Name: Emme Hall
Birthplace: CA
Hometown: Hacienda Heights
Current home: Washington, DC
Age: Oh jeez I don't know. 27? 39? I
forget.
Nickname: Monkey
Do/did you get flack from the guys you race
against? Or have the guys always accepted you as a
female in your series?
I've gotten good natured ribbing, sure. But I'm
very adept at throwing it back at them. I've always
said that it doesn't take an exorbitant amount of
upper body strength or a penis to drive a car. That
usually shuts up any jerks. It also helps that I am
tall and my short hair is usually pink or purple or
something and I'm a fairly confident person. I
don't come off as your average woman. So no, the
guys don't give me any shit.
What advice would you give to someone or a team
wanting to get into Racing?: Just jump into it.
There is no "perfect" time to start. My situation
is far from perfect. I live on the East coast but
all my races are on the west coast. I don't have a
lot of money and I am mostly self funded, so I find
ways to save money. I'm nice to people, I help out
when I can, I listen to everyone, and I'll drive
anything someone lets me drive. Just be willing to
do what you have to do.
What would be your last meal? Mexican
food and chocolate chip cookies.
What do you do for your 9-5? I'm the
costume manager at Ford's Theatre in Washington DC.
I manage all aspects of the costume department.
Basically the designer draws the pretty pictures,
then I make it happen, either by pulling the
clothes from stock, renting them, or arranging for
them to be built, either locally or in New
York.
I also review new cars for Roadfly TV. We are
the fourth largest car review channel on You Tube.
It's really fun and I get to drive some awesome
cars! I've had the Subie WRX, Mustang Boss, Audi
A6, Jaguar XK Convertible…I get paid and I get
a free tank of gas!
Nothing makes driver Emme Hall happier than
climbing behind the wheel of any air cooled VW
desert racer and pinning it. In addition to driving
for Hall Ass Racing, she is also an occasional
guest driver and co-driver with Desert Dingo Racing
in their Class 11 VW. She is one half of Team
Courage Gazelles and is currently preparing for the
2012 Rallye Aicha des Gazelles, a 9 day all female
rally through the grueling terrain of Morocco using
only a compass and an outdated map. She can think
of nothing more awesome!
Evoking a high energy personality with a
determined disposition, she earned 2nd in class
with the Dingos at this year’s USA 500 and
first in class at the recent 24 hour endurance race
with VORRA. She is the current record holder at the
Buffalo Peak hill climb in Colorado, co-driving for
JT Taylor in an ultra-4. For the past two years
Emme has driven in the annual Powder Puff race in
Barstow to raise money for Cedar Sinai Breast
Cancer Research Center. She’s finished 4th and
2nd in class, but unfortunately was DNF this past
year with a broken torsion bar.
Emme has been featured in Dirt Sports, Dusty
Times, S&S Off Road Magazine, Dirt Newz, Race
Dezert, Moto IQ and Gearbox Magazine. She also
blogs for Female Racing News. Emme holds an MFA in
Costume Technology from North Carolina School of
the Arts and is also a graduate of Yale School of
Drama. She lives in Washington DC and works as the
Costume Director at Ford’s Theatre when she
isn’t reviewing new cars for Roadfly TV, the
fourth largest car review channel on You Tube. She
autocrosses her 2nd generation Mazda Miata whenever
she can.
