What's a Dirt Dame?

Good question. 

My name is Alicia.  Married to Dohrman Family Racing driver, David Jenkins. 


Mother to the cutest little man ever, Gunnar.  





And owner of the coolest pitbulls, Ruger & Trixie.



What is Dirt Dames?? 
Well, after the first race after Gunnar was born,  I remember thinking, contingency used to be one of my favorite parts of the races.  But there isn't anything SPECIFICALLY for me?  I'm a wife. I work hard to make sure everything is bought, cooked, cleaned and loaded to get out to the races.  And now I have a kid to tote with me.....I want something of MY own! Something geared towards the things I like...besides off-road racing.  Things like vintage photos. Tattoos. Tough chicks. Old school.  Kind of like a "real housewives" kinda thing.  Where it wasn't a competition. Or a gossip fest.  But just something everyone could enjoy. Something to CELEBRATE the women who support the industry.  The name didn't come until I was talking with my tattoo artist, Lil C.  Who came up with the name, and a bunch of super rad ideas.  And it all came to light.  The name, couldn't be ANYTHING other than Dirt Dames.  Completely different.  And for those of you who don't know what a "Dame" is, here's some knowledge for ya.

Are you a Dirt Dame?? Well, if you go to the off-road races, YOU'RE a Dirt Dame.  If your spouse, brother, sister, mother, father, cousin twice removed, is into off-road events, YOU'RE a Dirt Dame.  If you're like me, and your husband races, and you tote your family to every off-road event, YOU'RE a Dirt Dame.  If you, YOURSELF, take part in anything DIRT related, YOU'RE a Dirt Dame!  Any questions??
