FAVORITE QUOTE/SAYING: “Born on 2 Wheels”
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED WITH AUTOMOBILES/MOTORSPORTS: I grew up riding/racing dirt bikes
with my father. From there my love for two wheels grew; from dirt to asphalt and now to the drag
sp. My father used to drag race cars and my boyfriend, Dean Fredricks, currently races a white Dodge
Dart. Aer watching him race for years I decided it was my turn to hit the track. So I bought my zx12
last year and plan to race a full season next year.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN INVOLVED WITH AUTOMOBILES/MOTORSPORTS: My dad brought home
my first dirt bike when I was 7 or 8 years old and have been hooked ever since.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT AUTOMOBILES/MOTORSPORTS: I love the adrenaline. There is nothing to
compare the feeling of being on a bike, hearing the wind rip through your helmet and blowing through
the traps or just cruising around town. It’s truly freeing. I am happiest when I’m pung on my leathers
and strapping on my helmet.
WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS FOR NEXT SEASON: Kick some bu! Lol my goal is to become a beer rider
both on street and at the track. With this past summer being my first season and only being able to get
to the track a handful of mes, I have a lot to learn about how to ride the zx12. I also have hopes to do
some road race track days at Road America or Black Hawk Farms with my gsxr.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER HOBBIES OR PASSIONS: In my free me I enjoy designing and installing vinyl
graphics. I have been known to make graphics for my bikes or vehicles and then rip them off and apply
different ones…mulple mes…just because I can never make up my mind, plus who doesn’t love
switching things up??
ADVICE TO OTHER WOMEN IN MOTORSPORTS OR WOMEN INTERESTED IN GETTING INVOLVED IN
MOTORSPORTS:
Girls, bikes are not just for boys. I can’t begin to tell you how badass it makes you feel when cruising
down the return road and hearing people in the stands say “Hey, that’s a girl on that bike!” It’s up to
us to put those boys in their place and make them sweat during staging, because there is nothing a
guy hates more than losing to us girls. You have what it takes. A little practice and hard work, and you
can be racing down the track or cruising the streets along with the rest of us.
