Debbie Parks

#7 Mini Super Truck

In 2003 the SRL Stars Mini Super Truck Series at Altamont Raceway Park debuted rookie driver Debbie Parks in her #7 MST. As a little girl growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, Debbie preferred playing with Hot Wheels over dolls and remembers fondly riding dirt bikes with her father at Carnegie Park. Her "Barbie Gone Bad" image fits appropriately with her sassy looks, quick spirit and competitive personality.

In 2002 she formed Stiff Competition Motorsports with co-owner/driver and teammate Ron Pestana and supervised the preparation and completion of her #7 Nissan Mini Super Truck. Ron tested the #7 twice at Altamont and once at Stockton 99 in 2002 winning a heat race in it’s second start at Altamont and finishing 10th in the higher division Pro4 Truck main event at Stockton 99 before relinquishing the cockpit to Debbie for the 2003 season. A former muscle car mechanic, Debbie's passion for auto racing and talent for auto mechanics proved a valuable asset in 2003 as she won the coveted "Rookie of the Year" title at ARP.

When the season ended in September 2003, she immediately converted her truck to a dirt truck and began racing in open dirt shows. In her first dirt race ever, she finished 7th in a main event at Chowchilla CA.. Debbie is also an avid go-kart racer and was sponsored in 2003 by Speedring Indoor Kart Racing in Santa Clara CA. Her favorite pass times when not racing are wrenching on cars, listening to music, playing guitar and taking care of her cherished German Shepard, Ziggy.
