Career Highlights:
In February 2000 we purchased the original “Aces High”
monster truck, a 1972 Chevrolet El Camino, with a stock all steel body and
flame throwing exhaust.
This truck was Nationally famous from receiving
much publicity on Television.
For a few years we kept the name alive using
“Aces High” for parades, exhibitions and displays.
“Aces High” was a lot of fun, but I wanted more!
My husband and I then designed and built “Shell-Camino” monster truck, a
replica to “Aces High”.
It is a MTRA certified tubular chassis
competition monster truck.
“Shell-Camino” sports a handmade fiberglass body
with a 512 cubic inch big block blown alcohol burning Chevy power plant that
puts out over 1600 horsepower.
With
a whole new truck, and a huge motor …..What more could a girl want?
The largest accomplishment so far in my career was when
I finished 6th
place at the 2008 Monster Truck Grand Nationals inside the IDAHO STATE
UNIVERSITY DOMED STADIUM in front of a sold out crowd.
There I faced competition from some of the
largest names in the industry including BIGFOOT, T MAXX, SUDDEN IMPACT and
my home built truck and my will to win brought the end of the year to a
great finish in Idaho.
