The gender barrier is about to be broken in Pro Extreme Motorcycle
(PXM) as Kimberly Morrell of 
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, plans to make her
National Guard American Drag Racing League (ADRL) debut Mar. 6-7, in
the Safety-Kleen Dragpalooza V at Houston Raceway Park in Baytown,
Texas.
Morell admits it may be a challenge to meet that deadline, but insists she and her new ride will be ready when it comes time for her to strap on the helmet.
"They are putting together the bike at the very last minute," she says. "Let me put it this way, they will be wiring it on the way to Houston."

"They are putting together the bike at the very last minute," she says. "Let me put it this way, they will be wiring it on the way to Houston."
Riding an M&W Motorsports Suzuki, Morrell is sponsored by Palm Beach International Raceway, along with Bates Leathers and Underpressure from Dania Beach, Florida. Her Timblin Chassis-built machine carries a 1570cc Suzuki engine assembled and tuned by Dan Wagner of DTM Performance.
Morrell has been working for several months on putting together a PXM effort with Wagner, a top-level engine builder who also will serve as her crew chief, but the project became a reality only recently.
"DTM Performance has been doing everything and then some to make this happen. Dan is working day and night on this for me and I'm so thankful," she says.
Noted chassis man Walt Timblin also is building Morrell a new state-of-the-art PXM that she hopes to debut with the ADRL later this year.
"But I'm not really worried about that right now," the rookie rider insists. "I will be making my first run on the bike on Friday at Houston, so that's all I'm thinking about. I'm so excited about joining the ADRL and the Pro Extreme Motorcycle class that I can barely sleep."
