12 year old girl is champ race car driver

I was amazed to see drag racing coverage in The Metro, albeit a very small article, but its worth reproducing here.  You can see the original here.

Anyway 12 year old lass by the name of Paige Wheeler (kind of appropriate, huh) has won the European Junior Drag Racing Championship.Paige has been racing for a year and beat competitors up to age 18.

Junior Dragsters

She now goes on to take part in the NHRA Junior Championship in the USA.  It would be pretty awesome to have a NHRA prize brought back to the UK.
