The Legendary Juli Burkdoll

Today we have the Legendary Julie Burkdoll! Julie was first introduced into land speed racing when she was 17 years old and her now husband then boyfriend the Legendary Jim Burkdoll took her on a date during Speed Week. By the early 1980’s Julie, Jim and there 3 boys BJ, Timmy & Bo were racing on the salt. She wasn’t planning on racing, but with some encouragement from her husband she got in the driver’s seat and in 1990 she set a record at over 204 MPH earning her entrance into the Bonneville 200 MPH Club! Currently she plays a vital role in the USFRA meets as the head timer. Hold on this should be as fun as hearing the voice over the radio say take it to impound!
