How she got into shoeing: I got into the showing and racing thing from my parents. I was born into it. My parents are ex drag racers they raced a 68 roadrunner and a 69 charger. After my parents retired from racing my brother (who is 6 years older then me) got into the import scene. And I of course being the typical little sister had to fallow, now here I am. Owning a business and running it with my pop and brother.

Three things people should know about me:

-I do most the work to my car.

- I own a customization shop and paint and airbrush cars as well as rebuild engines.

- I am big into NHRA racing (actually any drag racing). I race during the off season of showing and love it. I have a won twice last year and i hope to only do the same this year.

Best partof being a girl racer: The looks you get from the guys when you come up to them at the line and they see that they are racing a girl. It's great and it's even better when you win. The guys nmomally don't think you have it in you and then you kick butt it's great. The other thing I'd have to say is the adreniline rush......i love having my blood pumping and mind clear before a race. and when the light turns green...oh what a rush...i love it!
