KATIE Meyer, driving car number Wang 76, has spent seven years racing speedway and 10 years rallying. Originally from Ballarat, she now calls Benalla home and competes at Wangaratta City Raceway in a Ford FG Falcon, racing in Sports Sedans, Ladies Sports Sedans, and Production Sedans. Racing runs in her blood, with both parents having competed over the years. Her respect goes to any driver who races cleanly and fairly, and to Kenno, a volunteer who consistently gives his all for the club. Katie has racked up some memorable wins, including her 2019 Sports Sedan final at Daylesford and finishing Vic 3 in the Ladies Standard Saloon Title in 2022. Her passion for racing is about more than just the trophies though - travelling to different tracks and connecting with new people keeps her engaged. “Every time I race, it’s an adventure,” she said. Her racing ambitions are all about growth - racing at as many venues as possible and continuing to learn about car setups and driving techniques. Her words of wisdom? – “Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to win is, and the only way to define your limits is to go beyond them.” Supported by a great team of sponsors, including Fast Track Towing and Transport, One One Seven Designs, Howe Automotive, Stockman Floats, RC Racetech, JLB Constructions, Precision Race Parts, and Wonzy45 Paint & Panel, you can keep up with Katie’s racing journey on her Facebook page, Katie Meyer Motorsport.
