My pick for Racers of the Week are Karri Anne and Matt Beebe, from Westland, Michigan. Beebe Motorsports was recommended to me by our friend and former Racer of the Week, Don Turner. Thanks, Don!
First off, Karri is one of the best drivers in Drag Racing. In the Drag Radial category, she's the fastest woman in the country. She has consistently driven the Beebe Motorsports '68 Chevelle Outlaw Limited Street Racer to several victories in several series and in several states. It was with the DADs Street Outlaw group that Karri's performance has been brought to my attention, with the DADs home track being Quaker City Motorsports Park in Salem, Ohio. Don Turner told me that Karri is known to ride a wheelie out all the way down the track. Karri started driving in 2006, when her husband Matt gave the seat to her and he took over as crew chief for the car. He has tuned Karri's ride to all of her victories.
The motor is a 632 CID Holbrook Engine, with Diamond Pistons, an LSM Cam, 14 degree Big Cheif Heads, it has an aluminum block with a VED custom intake, F.A.S.T. Fuel Injection, and it has a Speedtech Nitrous system.
The transmision is a Rossler 2 speed turbo 400 with an Ultimate Torq converter. The Rear End is a Mossier Fab 9 running a 3.90 gear.
The chassis was built by Beebe Motorsports. It's a 25.5 chassis certification with a Chromoly Cage.
The car has a stock-style rear sustpension. It uses Menscer Motorsports Shocks and TRZ tubular front control arms.
The Chevelle runs on Mickey Thompson 315 PRO Drag radial tires.
Karri's Fastest 1/8 mile ET is a 4.72. Her Fastest 1/8 mile MPH is 149. Her Fastest 60 ft time is a 1.13.
The crew consists of Karri’s Husband Matt, Bill Barnes, Doug Wiseman, Eric Stratton and Andrew Barnes.
Karri's notable accomplishments: are she was the 2013 Milan Dragway Drag Radial Champion, the 2011 Milan Dragway Outlaw Limited Street Champion, the 2010 Pinks All Out Norwalk Champion, and a Finish in the top10 2008 Hot Rod Pump Gas Drags.
Karri and Matt send Special thanks to Terry Ferring, Holbrook Racing Engines, Team Z Motorsports, Kevin Neal Performance, NTG Enterprise, Saldana’s Speed Shop, and Greg Powrie.
I found out today that the Beebes are building a street-legal twin to this hot rod. That will be awesome!
Karri and Matt Beebe, we wish you good luck, safe racing and the best of times in the future!
