She has a need … a need for speed.
Coupeville ace Scotlyn Helm is a busy bee these days.
She’s got a new baby brother to help take care of, a school year to finish up, and a souped-up car to put through its paces.
When she’s not busy with her other 1,001 projects, Scotlyn puts the pedal through the metal at the Monroe Speedway, where she’s completing the Novice Driver Training Program with the Washington Quarter Midget Association.
Helm shows off the Purple Bomber.
Scotlyn will put in three weeks of training, learning the ins and outs of her car and life on the track, then begin racing season.
Based on family history, you should be able to spot her with ease once the flag drops — she’ll be the one way out in front.
“Beep-beep, champion coming through!”
