Brooklyn Singleton - Brooklyn started racing at age eight and has been competing since 2018, racing in various classes, including the 170/250cc, 800cc and under, and the 1000cc women's N/A class. In 2023, she added Class 11 (VW bug) racing to her accomplishments. Brooklyn has been featured in UTV Action Magazine, a Speed Sport documentary titled "Welcome to Funville," and an eight-minute recap video on AOE.tv of her inaugural Class 11 race.
Kennedy Singleton - Kennedy started racing at age six and became a force to be reckoned with shortly after. In 2022, she ventured into Ultra 4 endurance racing, where she secured 1st place in her debut race. At the end of 2022, Kennedy competed in the final round of the Texas Outlaw series, earning 1st, 3rd, and 4th place finishes in her respective classes. Throughout the same year, Kennedy was featured in a three-page article in UTV Action Magazine and showcased in a Speed Sport documentary titled “Welcome to Funville".
Wyatt Hastings - Wyatt started racing quads and dirt bikes at age five, participating in competitive races at a small track in Ephrata, WA. After breaking his leg during a dirt bike race, he focused on riding quads for the next five years. In 2018, at age 12, he moved to UTVs and began racing competitively. During the first year, he had the opportunity to race in amateur SXS classes, competing against drivers who were older and more experienced than him. Hastings has continued improving his driving skills and abilities while competing in events up and down the West Coast, primarily in the Pacific Northwest. His results speak for themselves, with race wins and championships in various classes and disciplines. He was also featured on the cover of Dirt Wheels Magazine.
