RACHEL IN HER OWN WORDS

This year will be my eleventh year racing! I spent the first eight years racing quarter midgets. I made some really good friends and learned a ton from the different types of tracks and from all the different classes I raced. This will be my third year racing the Legends Series. Quarter midgets and Legends vary greatly by the way. I’ve learned how to control the car and how it’s supposed to handle at the track I race at. So, this year I’m focusing on communicating with my dad better so we can make adjustments to the car quicker. I’m also going to focus on knowing what changes to do for how I want the car to feel. I’m looking forward to a great year!
