Professional drag racer Hillary Will, the fastest woman in the world – and “one of the top 10 female racers in the world” – according to Sports Illustrated, will discuss her career in racing and what makes this sport so exciting. Hillary became the fastest woman in the world when she posted a 335-MPH lap down the quarter-mile race track at the first event in the 2008 NHRA season.

This event is co-sponsored by the Main Street Area Association, in conjunction with their annual Rolling Sculpture Car Show, which this year will occur on Friday, July 10, 2 - 10pm. You can meet Hillary in the Ann Arbor District Library’s ‘Local Motion’ booth (which celebrates the Library’s summer reading program) at the Rolling Sculpture Car Show.
