The Race Car Teacher

My name is Michelle Mallory.  I am an elementary educator and YES I really do race cars! Click this link to see me race at Englishtown, NJ.  (I'm in the blue Caprice that wins!) I never had an interest in racing while growing up, but my husband was always into cars.  After he inherited his dad's '96 Impala SS, he started participating in autocross,  road racing, and drag racing.  During this time, we were living in Michigan.  I was  focused on my teaching career and busy with our three daughters.  I would bring them to some of his races, but never dreamed I would eventually race cars with him.   One day, some of the racers said my husband should  let me take the car down the 1/4 mile drag strip during  a "test and tune."  All it took was one time and I was  hooked!  We would take turns racing his car and our  girls would cheer us on.   They probably cheered for me  more than my husband. 😉 Racing created a common interest for us to share
