  WHY I GOT INVOLVED IN DRAG RACING Always loved cars...fast ones!!!  My husband took me to the drags and that was it...had to try it...   
  WHEN AND WHERE WAS YOUR FIRST RACE?  WHICH BRACKET?  HOW DID YOU DO?  Atmore...Bracket II...after my knees stopped shakin' out Round 4...  
  THE THING I LIKE MOST ABOUT DRAG RACINGThe people...the way we all help one another (and the speed and love of driving the car!!).  
  WHAT RACER DO YOU ADMIRE MOSTWHY Shirley Muldowney...she loved the sport and got in it when it was very tough for gals!  
  MY MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT IN DRAG RACINGWhen I forgot to turn on the fuel pump, went dead in the water and everyone thought I was broke...  
  MY FUNNIEST MEMORY IN DRAG RACING Years ago...Fast 8 last pass I picked up 2 numbers (tenths) that got me in...someone wanted to know how I got faster...I said I used the bottle...10 people came up and asked when I got Nitrous.  I was joking but it spread so fast...  
  WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED OR GAINED BY RACING (Responsibilities, Skills, Life Lessons, etc.) To enjoy life and the sport and driving the car...Winning is great but all the other is the important stuff!!!
