South Point 250, Vegas {January 2013}

Brrrr.rrr.rrrrrrr.......

That's pretty much the first thing that comes to mind, when I think back to the events of the South Point 250 in Jean, Nevada a few weekends ago.  Brrrrr......it was freezing.  Literally.

Dohrman Family Racing set up with their new Class 1 car, for it's very first race of our season.  Next to us, we had Bill Belansky's team Kryptonight Industries Racing.  Both sponsored teams of Dirt Dames.  The morning of the race, all cooling fluids had been frozen overnight.  Remember? I said it was FREEZING??  Took DFR about an hour and a half of dumping boiling water into the radiator to get the car started, and fluids moving......the race was flawless.  Not even a flat tire for us.  My husband, Dave Jenkins, started the race with our Uncle, Jeff Dohrman (and the guy that writes the checks :)) as his co-driver.  They did the first half of the race, then switched to Chad Dohrman, with his co-driver, Justin Dohrman.  Who finished the race, taking 3rd place.

Kryptonight Industries, well, they didn't have such the luck we did.  Their motor blew up 1/4 mile from the start line.  UGH.  But the truck looked good!!!!







 Looking forward to all the wonderful things to come this year! Thanks to everyone who helps us get by each race, and for making it possible for us to do what we love!  <3

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.

HA HA! So we DEFINITELY aren't#1, OR #5. COULD be #4 at times.....you get the picture.  Anyhow.  If you like cool tattoos.  Vintage flicks. Off-road racing.  And a little foul language here and there.....or....MOST of the time, lol.....keep sharing the love!  '

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??
