(This message was added in version 4.2.0.) in /home/oia5vvrwuu20/nadinehsu.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5307When Nadine started racing in 2000, she noticed the big absence of women racers.\u00a0 Over the years, she would invite the women watching the races out to drive with her.\u00a0 None obliged.\u00a0 Most were intimidated by this male-dominated sport.\u00a0 Nadine received numerous emails from women all over the world that were fans of her website, Nadine180.com.\u00a0 They praised her racing efforts and often shared with her their dreams of one day being able to race too. In 2003, as she twirreled away on the skid pad doing her “doughnuts” [360’s] alone, the idea popped into her head.\u00a0 She thought about the countless emails from female fans and all the women sitting in the passenger seats as their boyfriends skidded along the drift track.\u00a0 What they all had in common was one thing: a genuine interest in cars, but no drive to do something about it.\u00a0 She thought, maybe she could help ease the women onto the race track, come up with a welcome wagon…to make entering into motorsports a fun thing, rather than an intimidating thing.<\/p>\n Nadine went home, made a list of potential names, sketched some logos out and wrote the agenda for the first meeting of Drifting Pretty.\u00a0 The rest, we’ll say, is history.\u00a0 14 women were in attendance at Drifting Pretty’s first meeting.\u00a0 All 14 ladies drove at the track the following year.<\/p>\n
