WHO DO YOU ADMIRE MOST AND WHY Shirley Muldowney. A
woman of steel who moved mountains to achieve a
milestone for all women in motorsports
Growing up in a small coastal town, Kath was
always an integral part of the community. Her
outgoing personality, bolstered by her initiative
constantly saw her seeking new and interesting
challenges.
Kath was asked to drive a Rally Car in the
Queensland Mud Bash Derby, motorsports. Determined
to take up the challenge to the male contingent,
she was and victorious in four out of five
events.
Kath, now a truck driver by trade, settled in
Brisbane where she first met Brett. They met at the
racetrack when he signed a poster for her! Today,
the pair work side by side in what has turned into
a full time operation for the successful race
team.
Kath's keen interest in Drag Racing has now
taken her to a position where she created a world
first, entering what has for a long time been a
male dominated sport. Taking aboard all the
knowledge and teaching that Brett has to offer, in
November 2004 Kath made her debut as the first ever
female driver to race in the Top Doorslammer
Championship Series.
Officially unveiled at the Western Sydney
International Dragway in September 2004, her first
Top Doorslammer, a Jack Daniel's sponsored 1963
Split Window Corvette was launched. This was
constructed entirely in the Brett Stevens Racing
chassis shop. With its sleek new look, Kath and her
Corvette certainly brought a change of scenery and
competition to the top class of Australian Drag
Racing.
After taking a short break in her racing career
due to a non racing related motorcycle accident and
the birth of her and Brett's first child, Kath is
back in the drivers seat taking it up to the guys
and bringing a change of scenery and competition to
the top class of Australian Drag Racing in her band
new Jack Daniel's Racing Falcon Top
Doorslammer.
