About me:

With a small amount of go karting at a hobby level, I started autocrossing with the SCCA in 2004, locally with the Las Vegas Region.  In 2007, I went to my first SCCA National Solo Tour event at Qualcomm Stadium and continued to fuel my addiction through the local SCCA solo events.  In 2008, I ventured into track days and also rented an INEX Legends car to expand my experience in wheel to wheel racing.  In 2011, I competed in NASA Time Trials, quickly earning my race license.  From 2012-2013 I raced in the NASA based MotoIQ Pacific Tuner Car Challenge series, where I became the first female champion during my rookie year – by just 1 point!  In 2014, I became my own team owner and decided to debut the Scion FR-S, that my boyfriend and I built, in the United States Touring Car Series.  This year, we have brought this platform to the SCCA Majors Tour in the Western Conference Division after successfully raising over $13,000 dollars on my 30-day Dark Horse Pros campaign in January.  I was the 2015 SCCA STU Western Conference Division Champion.  In 2018 I transitioned into a tube chassis GT1 car and finished 3rd in the SCCA National Runoffs at Sonoma.  In 2019 I made my professional debut in the Trans Am TA2 class, racing in the West Coast series I finished 5th in the Championship.  For 2020, I am racing in the West Coast series again and working to earn funding to race in the National Tour.

Great write up! Although, our strategy out the gate was to make one lap for qualifying and then park the car for the rest of the week until race day. We truly had 0 troubles and our plan was executed perfectly.  Although non......Read more
