ALIE
PETIT
Daughter, Alie
Petit, is continuing the family tradition of drag racing in
the Jr Dragster class. Alie attended the Edmond Richardson School
of Drag Racing in 2004 where she found a knack for "hitting
the tree". After a few more years watching from the sidelines,
she was able to test her skills again at New England Dragway
in 2009. New friends, new experiences and new frustrations in
a new-to-us jr dragster has only strengthened her determination.
"You lose more than you win." Alie says wryly. "Racing
teaches you tolerance." Not a bad thing to learn in life.
Alie is a freshman in high school,
plays field hockey on the junior varsity team, belongs to the
art club and is an academic student of the John Hopkins Center
for Talented Youth. Her hobbies, beside racing, include writing,
drawing, listening to music, and of course texting. What do
you expect? She's a 14 year old girl. She makes friends easily
and loves spending time with them as much as possible. "That's
the best thing about the racing environment," she says,
"You meet the coolest people and you get to spend a ton
of time with them. They really treat you like family."
Her biggest goal is to be a Top Alcohol racer for either IHRA
or NHRA. Rather than having a "celebrity idol" she
looks up to those she knows, and those that teach her how to
achieve her goals. "I look up to my dad the most. He's
taught me everything I know," she states, "If it wasn't
for him, I wouldn't be racing right now."

KIM PETIT
As Dewzen L.L.C. is a family operated
business, so is Marc's racing team. Team mom at the racetrack
is the office manager in charge of paperwork at Dewzen. That's
me, Kim Petit. I make many of the day-to-day decisions. I also
create the engraving programs for our special order cutsomers.
Writing is my biggest hobby. I
am often embroiled in website construction and firing off e-mails.
I've been the secretary for our elementary school PTO. I write
romance for fun (I have to say it that way because no one pays
me to be an author). I also run for excersise with my dog, Benny.
Watching your loved ones win a
race is the very best feeling. Helping them, understanding the
kind of mind-set it takes to continue in such a competitive
sport has given me new perspective. I'm very impressed by my
family. I proudly accept being called "crew".
