PXM Girl Interviews Kim Morrell

After a year of gamely trying in 2009, Florida’s Kim Morrell finally achieved her first goal of breaking into a Pro Extreme Motorcycle (PXM) field with an outstanding 4.218-seconds pass at 173.52 mph that placed her third for the rain-postponed ADRL Universal Technical Institute Dragpalooza Vi presented by Safety-Kleen at Houston Raceway Park. 

Morrell’s accomplishment also marked the first time any female rider qualified in the tough PXM class, though ironically a second woman qualified for the same event as Anne Hansen placed 15th in her ADRL debut. 

The ADRL’s own PXM Girl caught up with Morrell shortly after UTI Dragpalooza VI was rained out and postponed for completion July 23, back at the Baytown, Texas strip.
