Karri Anne Beebe Motorsports Car Chix Chicks Featured Women
Karri Anne Beebe is a 39 year old Accountant from Westland, Michigan!  She was exposed to racing by her Husband, Matt and has been hooked ever since!  In November of 2004, Karri and Matt purchased their 1968 Chevelle as a roller for $1800.  Karrie’s Husband, Son, and many of their good friends helped build the car.  Halfway through the 2006 Season, Matt said “Get in!” and Karri has been the driver ever since!  Her best ET is 8.27 @ 167MPH!
In 2005, The Beebe’s entered their car in Autorama and placed 3rd.  In 2008, Karri entered the Hot Rod Pump Gas Drags and finished 7th overall!  Karri was the only woman to finish in the top 10!  In 2009, she went to the final round twice!  She says she is by no means a “big dog”, but that doesn’t stop her!  This last year, Karri entered Shakedown.  During the second round, the transmission in their beautiful Chevelle exploded and came through the floor – resulting in Karri’s broken ankle!
On top of Karri’s busy life and many racing accomplishments, she also helps organize a yearly car show for a local school for mentally and physically handicapped children!
