I think I’ve always had an interest in cars. My first car was an e30 BMW and I really enjoyed driving it around Western North Carolina’s curvy backroads. Since then, I have owned a handful of other cars, but it wasn’t until my first Mustang that I fully realized I wanted to be more involved in competitive driving. In 2016, I picked up a 2017 Mustang GT Premium Performance Package that I affectionately call “Hank”. I began to race my new Mustang at local autocrosses and documenting my experiences on social media. I have been progressively exploring my passion of driving through different motorsports. Even started the hashtag #PlayAllTheMotorsports to help keep track of it all. With my ’17 Mustang I have driven Autocross,Track-X, Drag Racing, Drifting/Wet Skidpad, HPDE (High Performance Driving Event) and SCDE (Short Course Driving Event- an emerging motorsport division from M4theM). Through all of this I have been fortunate to connect with many within the car community and to meet a lot of awesome car girls! Wanting to get a bit more ambitious, I purchased an older Mustang GT. “Emma” is her name but I just caller her “Racecar.” She is a 2006 GT premium that I have since installed a few performance parts, and a lot of safety upgrades. I am a mother of two and it is very important to me that I am as safe as possible on track. Racecar has racing seats, harnesses, fire suppressant, and a 4-point rollbar. With this new car, I recently competed in the Chasing The Dragon Hillclimb, coming first in class and setting a new class record. I am really looking forward to continuing building the car and exploring more areas of motorsports together.
