We want you all to meet Emma. Emma is a young lady that races midgets at Rocky Mountain Raceways, located in West Valley City, Utah and she is taking the motorsports industry and internet by storm. We have been sent information on this story countless times today and when we called the track to verify the story, we were shocked to learn that it is factual.
From Sam & Dan Breach:
“One of our young quarter midget girls had an assignment from school to list a personal goal. She chose a goal that would improve her winter and summer racing. The teacher told this young girl it was unacceptable as girls are not race car drivers, and made her do the assignment again.
This young girl went home in tears and told her family to sell her car and all her gear as girls didn’t race. This young girl is extremely shy and just got her dreams smashed. Luckily her family finally convinced her that they don’t need to sell her stuff.”
