Leila
Flores, 27, resides in Murrieta with her son, Elijah,
5. She is currently working at Vogtland North America,
a suspension company that manufactures parts for various
vehicles as well as Nascar, Indy Cars and other forms
of motor sports. She is currently attending college
for a degree in marketing and has also taken classes
for Automotive Entrepreneurship and automotive repair.
Leila was first introduced to racing when she went
to the NHRA drags with her dad as a 5 yrs old. At
the age of 17, she purchased a ‘97 Honda Civic
and had no idea the car's potential but after picking
up her first Super Street Magazine she began to “see
the light”. Not too long after that, she installed
a Nitrous Kit and went to LACR to test out the new
“race car”. Shortly after that it became
into a non stop project where she turbocharged the
original motor in the car, then moved on to swapping
the motor to a fully built turbocharged motor. Now
her project consists of the same vehicle but the modifications
are for Road Racing this time, instead of Import Drag
Racing.
Leila’s position with Laskey Racing is Team
Manager/ Promotions Coordinator, her goals are to
diligently promote the team in the Sport Compact Racing
market as well as additional avenues to provide a
wide-range of promotional coverage.
