In a world driven by horsepower and history, Gail Eby—affectionately known in the racing community as “SPEEDY EBY”—has become one of the most cherished and respected figures in nostalgia drag racing. A videographer, historian, storyteller, and lifelong enthusiast, Gail has been behind the camera and in the pits of the most iconic AA/Fuel Altered (AA/FA) events in the country. With a racer’s heart and a documentarian’s eye, she ensures the sights, sounds, and spirit of vintage drag racing are preserved and shared for generations to come.

A Career of Capturing Culture

Gail’s motorsports journey began in earnest in 2014, at the Woodburn Dragstrip in Oregon. But her connection to speed started much earlier—growing up in a family where racing was a way of life. Her father and brother competed in everything from Indy Cars to Super Stock and Circle Boat Racing, laying the foundation for Gail’s deep-rooted love for the sport.

 Since then, Gail has documented a who’s who of nostalgia racing, filming and supporting top-tier teams across the AA/FA, AA/FD, and BB/FC classes. Her unique skillset as a videographer, photographer, cook, tow driver, and team media manager has made her an irreplaceable part of the paddock and beyond.

Why She’s Called “Speedy”

Nicknamed “Speedy” not just for her pace at the track but for her ability to be everywhere at once, Gail is a one-woman media crew. You’ll find her crouched beside staging lanes, balancing a camera on one shoulder while giving a thumbs-up to a crew chief, or coordinating Facebook updates before an engine even cools down.
