Personal: Pamela Vaters would like to be
known as the "Shirley Muldowney of monster truck
racing." Pamela is the first and only female
competing in the Penda Point Series and her sights
are high. She finished 5th in 1995. When asked how
she got started as a monster truck driver, Pamela
said, "My husband, Mike, got into racing first. The
new truck we were building was supposed to be for
him, but I really wanted to race, so it became
mine. He waited eight years for that truck."
Pamela now races against the best. "The cheering
of the fans, the great feeling of winning, and the
tough competition are what I enjoy the most. I
think more women will be racing in the future, and
I hope I can be a model for them. It's really
competitive, but I like the pressure."
