About
I am Emily Williams, otherwise known as EMDUB. I am currently racing a Super Comp Dragster out of Woodinville, WA.
I was born in Toledo, Ohio to two loving parents who met programming computer software. When I was six years old we moved to a small town outside of Seattle. I grew up with two younger brothers, Michael and Stephen, in the beautiful Northwest. In high school I played volleyball on the school team, but had a passion for gymnastics. I spent 12 years of my youth competing and coaching gymnastics. Although my body does not allow me to participate anymore, my heart misses the sport very much.
I have always had an interest in motor sports. When I was younger, my father owned a Goldwing motorcycle. Some of my favorite memories are riding to gymnastics practice or traveling the country on this bike. After high school I moved to Orange County, CA to attend college. The past four years have been filled with friends, homework, sorority and adventures. I was the president of my sorority, a preschool teacher and all along an avid NHRA fan. I was just accepted to Washington State University for their Human Development Masters program and intend to move back to Washington to pursue my degree.
In January, 2008 I was offered an amazing opportunity to take Frank Hawley’s Super Comp/Super Gas class. My father and I have always been huge fans, but this was a new step. After I received my license there was no question about my passion. Racing that car made me feel alive. And the rest was history!
I am currently working on getting things in order to begin competition. The 2008 season will be spent testing, tuning and practicing. I am looking forward to a full season of racing in 2009.
