Nitro shakes
Posted By Heidi Walters on Wed, May 28, 2008 at 5:00 PM
Auto Racing Daily found Fortuna native Hillary Will, fastest drag-racing woman ever, pining for vrooom and the sweet scent of dragster gas after she'd spent a rare weekend off over Memorial Day watching other people drive at NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 in North Carolina.
"Being there made me miss the smell of nitro and the sound of an 8,000-horsepower race car," she told ARD.
She'll be back in the seat of her KB Racing, LLC Top Fuel dragster this weekend for the O’Reilly NHRA Summer Nationals in Topeka.
