One of the drivers you will see back at Unity Raceway, this season, is Amanda Terrill driver of the #23 in the Ladies Class. Unity maybe one of the Maine’s “Toughest Tracks” but, the ladies are up for the challenge. Amanda race for the 1st time in the series and finished the season in 3rd place and won “Rookie of the Year”. With one 2nd place finish and 4 3rd place finishes, Amanda is looking forward 2011 season and capturing that 1st career win in the Ladies Division.
RPM. What have you been doing in the off season?
Amanda. I took about a month off and then began the process of redoing the race car with help from Shadow Folsom, Ed Gilblair and Zach Audet, to get the car ready for the Augusta civic center show and the Portland Expo. When I’m not working on the race car I am either working or spending time with my 3 children, and also this winter I have made plans to go back to school and get my CNA after helping take care of one of Unity’s pit gate employee’s ( Charlie Lindsey) who fought a short battle with cancer.
