Father's Thoughts: Loves it!
Your encouragement to others: Try it
Growing up in a household
with both parents drag racing in Long Island, NY,
her family helped develop the same passion her
mother and father shared. It also fueled the desire
at a young age to be a professional drag
racer.
During the summer of 1998,
Erika started riding dirt bikes at the age of 13
years old. When she turned 16 she advanced to a
2000 Honda CBR600. Riding was the only thing on
Erika’s mind and as she advanced, so did the
desire to race. Once Erika learned the dynamics of
motorcycles and how they worked it was then when
she fell in love with drag racing.
In summer of 2001, Erika
attended a national event for the NHRA PowerAde
Drag Racing series in Sonoma, California. While
there Erika got to meet two well known African
American NHRA Professional Pro Stock Motorcycle
racers, Reggie Showers and Anton Brown.
Watching their every move
on the track and off the track turned Erika’s
desire into a full passion. Maintaining contact
with Reggie has given Erika the inspiration and
direction on how to reach the level of an NHRA Pro
Stock Motorcycle racer.
In 2003, Erika started
racing her 03' Suzuki Hayabusa in San Diego,
California and gained recognition (one of her first
passes made the pages of the New York Times).
Life continued and Erika
continued to hone her riding skills. 2007 produced
a beautiful son, Jayden and a supportive husband,
Daryl Allison. Proving the desire to still be
burning brightly Erika was back racing 5 weeks
after bringing Jayden into the world.
"She has to be the hardest
working young woman I know." D. Allison
Ever since returning
Erika’s focus has been to hone her skill level
and race with the best in Pro Stock Motorcycle. An
NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle and Erika Allison, on a
dedicated course which will produce a national
champion and true inspiration to all who have the
desire to reach for their dreams.
