The NHRA boasts the newest opportunities for athlete to achieve the highest goals of their sport. Drag racing as a sport has some of the most dedicated fans and players. In 2008, the cream of the crop is rising to the top, and as the year progresses towards the Chase for the championships, th NHRA divisions and pros are getting ready to make a break for the lead.
We all need a #1
This year may bring a first to the NHRA. There have been a few already this year with Ashley Force qualifying #1 in Team Force's Nitro Funny Car. She's one of the new leading players in the sport of high-speed, high-risk motorsports where the sky's the limit in more ways than one.
She ain't no regular lady
Let's mention that Ashley Force is female, and there won't be any eyebrows raised because Team Force has been preparing the world for a whole new breed of Drag Race fan and competititor. The Ladies are back in town, just not in the back of the house. More and more women and girls are pushing pedals to the metals that make up their high-speed driving machines.
How did they do that?
Getting on the track is easy for anyone, but for those who are able to bring something to the tree, how the women get there and how the men who got them there got there are two totally different paths.
