Piston Annie

Hey y’all! I’m Leah — but around the track, you can call me Piston Annie. 💋🏁

I’m a full-time mom, race mom, pin-up girl, adventure planner, professional snack finder and proud B.U.G. for Lemke Motorsports and the High Life Hauler. Basically, if it involves horsepower, high heels or something covered in whipped cream, I’m probably interested. 😉

I’m a race mom to two Jr. Dragster racers, so when I’m not backing up the High Life Hauler, I’m usually chasing kids, helmets, gloves and somebody who swears they just had their shoes. 😂

And if you see me at the track, chances are my little partner in crime LiL’ Redline Rosie isn’t far behind. She’s my sidekick, fellow B.U.G. and living proof that sass might actually be hereditary. ❤️

I have a soft spot for vintage everything — especially pin-up fashion, old cars, specialty drinks and those little vintage ice cream shops where calories clearly don’t count if the building is older than you are. 🍦💋

When I’m not at the track, you can find me crafting, hiking, cruising around in my 1923 Ford Model T Roadster, or planning our next family adventure. I’m always up for seeing someplace new… preferably with a cute outfit, good food and an old car somewhere nearby.

So why racing?

Because there’s nothing else quite like it.

It’s competitive enough to make you want that win light BAD, but still feels like one giant, slightly dysfunctional family. We race each other, tease each other, help each other fix broken cars and somehow keep coming back weekend after weekend for more.

The sound, the smell, the people, the late nights, the kids growing up in the pits…and okay, standing on the starting line in a great pair of boots isn’t exactly terrible either. 😏🔥

You can look at all the pictures you want, but the racing life is something you really have to experience for yourself.

So come find us at the track. I’ll be the tall one in the cute outfit pretending I’m there strictly for professional racing purposes. 💋😂
