Your Mom Races Rally: Motherhood, Motorsports and the Revolution of Fun
A Rally Racing Memoir by Kelly Conroy
Hardcover Book · Motorsports Memoir · Release Date: March 16th
Discover the rally racing memoir that rewrites the way we view motherhood, women’s health and the constant need to be “good.” For a limited time, all orders come autographed by the author.
Kelly Conroy stepped into rally school an exhausted mother of two. She left a racecar driver. Over the next two years, Conroy ditched society’s expectations as the modern mother consumed by sleep schedules and selflessness, and entered into a new era of rediscovering fun. The result is Your Mom Races Rally, a moving memoir about putting yourself first.
Conroy had never driven stick before, let alone competed in a mud-slinging motorsport that regularly sends cars careening into trees. Over the course of two years she prioritized her own joy and sanity, even at the expense of her family’s routine, meal plan and bank account. Conroy attended rally school, wriggled across oil-stained garage floors to upgrade her 40-year old BMW nicknamed “Nessie,” and made her way to the starting line. Along the way, she discovered a vast network of women racers, off-roaders and fellow badasses cheering her on at each step.
This is a story of reclaiming and rewriting your own life. It’s about setting an example for your children by living out your dreams — not someone else’s. For all the moms missing their previous selves, wondering where she went, this is your invitation to set her free again. Follow Kelly on Instagram at @yourmomracesrally.
