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.
