Rachelle Splatt is a legendary Australian drag racer who became the first woman to break the 300 mph barrier in the United States. She is coming out of retirement to return to top fuel drag racing with a new dragster. Splatt hopes to bring awareness to children's mental health issues like depression through her racing and interactions with fans and media.

2. BOUNDRIES “Becoming the
FIRST WOMAN IN
THE WORLD to
break the 300 mph
barrier in the USA
was a life changing
moment for me”

3. In 1993 Rachelle Splatt stormed onto the Australian Drag Racing
scene and soon became a household name. Her impressive on track
results include winning the Australian Nationals Championship in
1993 and soon after in 1994 becoming the FIRST WOMAN IN THE
WORLD to break the 300 MPH barrier in the USA. Rachelle has
earned the respect of her peers and the general public alike on a
global scale.
In 2006 Rachelle stopped racing, deciding to take a break for a while
and focus on her growing family. Now a mother of five, Rachelle feels
that the time is right to return to the sport she loves - Top Fuel Drag
Racing.

4. This time around Rachelle is going to be starting from
scratch, and has recently purchased a new complete
Top Fuel Dragster. Rachelle says “You can only win with
the right equipment and we have that now." I’m positive
we will be front runners in 2017, I'm excited about the
future prospects. You're only as good as the team that
back you, and I have a great team – TEAM RACHELLE !”

commences in November 2016 and consists of 6 Top
Fuel Championship Rounds.

8. From a young age motorsport has been my life, I was born into
a racing family. I have been very lucky to have had the
opportunity to achieve great personal goals in motorsport over
the journey so far. Yes I plan on breaking more records and
winning more races when we get to the track but I also want to
use this opportunity to make a far more important difference. I
have five beautiful children and they are everything to me and
my husband. My middle son suffers from severe depression, he
is just 12 years old. As his mother it can sometimes be difficult, I
wonder if there was something I could have done to help him
build his confidence and self esteem.
So with the media attention and opportunity to meet and speak
to so many people I plan on making a difference in creating
awareness of depression in children. There are some great
organisations like 'Beyond Blue', 'Black Dog' and 'Head Space'
that cater to depression in our children and I want to insure we
bring these children along for the ride.
