Florida Mini Sprint Association First Female
Driver
One of Thunder Valley Racing's "Featured Racers",
sixteen year old Brittany Allison Frosh from
Melbourne, Florida is the Florida Mini Sprint
Association's first female driver the group has
ever had. Brittany moved up from Quarter Midgets
where she won World Formula championships at two
different tracks in Florida along with the World
Formula track speed record in Sharpes, Florida.
She's no stranger to championships. In 2004,
Brittany won the Heavy Honda championship and in
2003 she won a championship at the Tangerine Winter
Nationals in Florida. This will be the first time
Brittany will be the lone female out racing against
the guys but that's just fine with her. She enjoys
the competition and it couldn't be better when she
beats the guys. After a year or two in mini
sprints, Brittany would like to move up to 360
Winged Sprints or maybe give stock car racing a
try.

Who would have thought that my racing destiny
would start at birth? Before my birth my parents
had the name Brittany Marie picked out, for me to
be named after my mom. Both of my parents were huge
NASCAR fans and love the sport of Racing. Well,
Bobby Allison had a bad wreck a short time before I
was born and at the time he was my parent's
favorite racer. Well as I lay there on my mom's
stomach without my name being final, my mom looked
to my dad in tears and said "Everyone will think
I'm crazy, but I want to name her Brittany Allison
after Bobby." My dad totally agreed and said that
it would be a great name. I guess you could say
right from there I was destined to be a race car
driver.
My first trip to a race track was when I was 4,
my dad used to race stock cars at New Smyrna
Speedway. He raced a Bomber, a Late-Model, and
later on a Modified. The first time I stepped foot
inside the racetrack you couldn't get me to stop
coming. Every week I couldn't wait for Saturday
night to come back again, it's what got me though
the school weeks. I grew up around my Uncle Tank
and my dad racing racing Modifieds0p. At the age of
8 I wanted to race so bad that I couldn't wait
until I was old enough.
The day finally came when I was 10, I came to
watch my Uncle Tank race and in corners 1 and 2
there was a huge dirt pile. Come to find out they
were building a Quarter Midget track inside of New
Smyrna Speedway for kids like my age, from 5-16.
There were Quarter Midget drivers that were already
in the sport that did a parade lap that night. I
looked in amazement at my dad and said "Daddy I
want one!" My dad thought I was joking but being
the outgoing little girl that I was, I kept bugging
him that I wanted one. It took about 2 months to
convince him that I was serious about getting a
Quarter Midget because him having 2 daughters he
never thought one of his girls would want to
race.
In November 2000 I got my first race car ever!
My dad asked me to go into the garage to get a
screw driver and in the garage was sitting a
quarter midget! I swear I must have sat in my
garage for at least 4 hours that night. My first
time ever in my quarter midget, my Uncle Tank and
Dad took me to a parking lot at my Uncle's jobsite.
I ran over a parking stopper and blew a tire and
that was it for me. I have come along way from the
parking lot though!
In 2001 I ran in the Novice class to teach me
all about the car and get used to it. I won my
first race and from there it was a roller coaster
ride. In later 2001, I moved into the Senior Honda
class and that's where my fun began. In 2002 I
started my first full season and ran for points, I
finished 5th in points for the Senior Honda class.
In 2003 is the year I started to sparkle! I started
racing in the class of Heavy Honda. I struggled in
this class in the beginning, but a family whose
younger son, Matt races saw the drive I had in me.
They helped my Dad and I get faster and from there
is when I took off. In February 2003 I traveled to
Columbus, OH and never been on that track finished
3rd and in May 2003 I set a track record of 6.437
at our state race. Although I was fast I was
getting 2nd and 3rd's and never a 1st. My first win
came the last night that I was racing my car before
selling it to get my new quarter midget. That was
when my luck changed and I won 5 features after
that. But my all time favorite memory was yet to
come! In December 26-31 2003 is a big event that is
ran every year called the Tangerine, it was my
dream to win this since I started. I qualified 5th
out of 30 and I ended up winning both heat races! I
thought for sure when I ended up on the outside
pole that my luck would run out In the A main. But
I was wrong I became the 2003 Heavy Honda Tangerine
Winner!! For 2003 I finished 3rd in New Smyrna
points, 2nd in the state of Florida and 2nd in
Apopka points.
2004 also had a ton of highlights! I ran at
tracks out in Georgia, Indiana, and Connecticut. In
May I was invited to an event “Women in the
Women Circle” hosted by Lyn St. James. I
finished 4th in points at New Smyrna my home track
and at Sharpes I was in second place with one race
to go. I was faced with a huge decision. I was
invited to go attend a driver development school in
Arizona with Lyn St. James. The driving school and
the last race of the season were the same weekend.
I had to make a huge decision go to the school or
race and possibly win the championship. I called
Lyn St. James and she said that I could attend the
driving school next year so the decision was made.
I knew I had a chance and gave it my best shot. I
ended up winning the last race and finishing tied
for first. I became the 2004 Track Champion of
MFQMRA. In 2005 I plan to travel to tracks in
Georgia and race at the two tracks in Florida at
Sharpes and New Smyrna.
I have had the privilege to do something that
some kids only can dream about. I have had my
dreams come true but I have bigger ones! My goal
since I was 5 was to make it big time into NASCAR
or World of Outlaws. Hopefully with help I will get
there and I have faith that if I give it my all I
can do anything! After all that’s why my motto
is “Never Giver
Up”
