I'm sure you've all seen stories about this gal, but I missed the Discovery Channel show last night. I'll try to catch it when it re-airs next month.

INDUSTRY NEWS - Porterfield On Discovery Channel
12/16/2008

The following is from Leslie Porterfield's publicist...

Leslie Porterfield, the fastest woman on a motorcycle, holder of three land-speed records and 2008 AMA Racing Female Rider of the Year will be featured in a Discovery Channel special tonight called Speed Capital of the World: Bonneville.

“Each summer during Bonneville Speed Week the Utah salt desert transforms into the greatest racetrack on the planet. Scorching heat and slippery salt brings racers to their knees as they attempt to achieve speed immortality.”

The program was produced by Big Fish entertainment, executive producers were Doug Priest and Dan Cesaro, and it was directed and written by Dan Cesaro.

"I enjoyed being a part of this production and feel fortunate to have been selected. The people at Big Fish entertainment were a pleasure to work with. It is great to see Discovery Channel taking an interest in Bonneville and land-speed racing. Bonneville is such an amazing event," commented Porterfield.

The program will air on the following dates:
December 16 – 10 PM EST
December 17 - 2 AM EST
January 5 - 10 PM EST

What's the marque on that mysterious motorcycle behind her in this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fFYo9n7b10&eurl=http://sports.rightpundits.com/?p=1370

Here's a link to her MySpace page. You can see pictures of her run at Bonneville (try not to get distracted by pics of the bikini bike wash, you bunch of male chauvenist pigs!) http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=80614863

It's on my schedule tonight. Who doesn't love a fast woman!
Was it Tom T Hall that wrote.
"it's faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, and more money"
or was it younger horses and faster women?
