Have you heard of her? Today at the Port Angeles "strait thunder" hydro races my daughter and I toured the pits and had the distinct pleasure of meeting nineteen year old Kayleigh Perkins: driver of the "Boat Electric"/ Victoria Express. This was the last race of her first season in unlimited lights racing- she ended this season with the honor of "rookie of the year", and topped the season in first place for driving and for team points! She's a petite girl, perhaps no taller than 5 ft. tall, and very feminine and very sweet- yet she knows how to race right along with the "big boys"- a force to be recockened with! I watched her compete against drivers who have been in the business longer than she's been alive...and how fantastic it was to watch her push her boat to speeds over 100 miles per hour- give them a run for the money! What a delight it was to meet her, to talk with her, shake her hand, and tell her she's an inspiration to young girls everywhere! Your thoughts?
