Circus Performer to USCG Captain and now NMRA & IHRA Racer Kimberly Deutsch. Featured 3X in the Car Chix Women of Motorsports Contest. For some, passion for speed and adrenaline is hardwired into their DNA.<\/p>\n
With few years of drag racing experience, I have found my home behind the wheel of a dragster. Not coming from a racing background, I headed into uncharted territory and never looked back. I have not had any formal training, my Husband has been my coach but I taught myself how to get down the track. It was a learning experience and basically trial and error for me.<\/p>\n
Racing a 2006 Mustang GT Premium Roush drag car. The car was completely stock when my Husband and I purchased it with 19,000 Miles on it. After doing some research, we decided to have Brenspeed start the build on it out of Pierceton, IN.<\/p>\n
I take it to the drag strip regularly and have become something of a role model for some of the local High School Students. I am a school bus driver by day and drag racer by night. I like to bring the car over to the local school auto shop programs and talk to the kids about not street racing and track safety.<\/p>\n
We need to get kids involved so our sport continues to grow and prosper. My goal is to get people to follow their dreams, because if I would\u2019ve listened to the people who told me I couldn\u2019t make this happen, I wouldn\u2019t be where I am today. No matter how big your dream seems, it is possible, and that\u2019s what I want people to remember.\u201d<\/p>\n
My current goals are to become more comfortable with the car, gaining the experience I need to eventually win a national or divisional event. I would love to travel more for racing, and get the opportunity to compete at as many racetracks as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
