ATTENTION RACERS ???
Recently, a little girl named Emma who races quarter midgets at Rocky Mountain Raceways went to school and was asked to make a personal goal. She said that she wanted to improve on her summer and winter racing. The teacher quickly shut her down and said that couldn’t be a goal because girls aren’t supposed to be race car drivers and made her redo the assignment. Emma was crushed and went home crying and asking her parents to sell her stuff ‘since girls cant be race car drivers’. Her family has since convinced her that they shouldn’t sell her stuff.
This is where you guys come in! The awesome people at Rocky Mountain Raceways are trying to round up hero cards/ letters of encouragement/ anything you got to present to Emma to show that girls can indeed be race car drivers! Tag the female drivers you know as well or share the status!
Please send the pictures or letters of encouragement to:
