This past Saturday, July 24th, Drifting Pretty kicked off their 2nd Annual ladies karting series at K1 Speed in Ontario, CA. This was the first event in a series of 3.
We had a great mix of drivers, like Nadine’s 13-year-old daughter, a couple first-time karters mixed with some of our seasoned karters, which all made for a great event.
We congratulate Debbie Meda for winning this round. Debbie has been with Drifting Pretty for over 2 years and this is her first win. Debbie’s impressive time landed her at #8 on K1′s best times of the week.
In addition, one of our Northern California Chapter members, Rochelle Desamito, who drove down just for the race, won an impressive 2nd place.

Nadine Hsu was interviewed and was included, along with Drifting Pretty, in an article published by the London Times. The article titled “Girl racers terrorise streets of LA”, written by John Harlow, centers around illegal street racing within the younger Asian American female community. Although a bit exaggerated of the racing culture here in Southern California, there is truth in it’s depiction of danger in street racing and the attention that it is getting from law makers.
