Driver Bio: With her dad as a retired Top Fuel pilot, Julie Nataas has been around racing since she was born. Her drag racing career began in a Junior Dragster in 2005 when she was 8 years old. In 2007 she also started Go Karting and later on added Formula Basic to her career. For a few years, she drag raced and drove her Formula Basic car on the weekends, and practiced Go Karting during the week. She stepped up from her Junior Dragster to Super Comp in 2013, and quit Go Karting and Formula Basic racing as drag racing is where her heart belongs. In 2014 she won the European Drag Racing Series Central Division and placed second in the European Drag Racing Series. After a successful season in Europe, she finished high school and moved to Santa Barbara, California for college. She received her BA in Liberal Art Studies with a double concentration in Marketing and Business at Antioch University, Santa Barbara. Her first trip to a racetrack in the U.S. was to the finals in Pomona, CA when she was 11 years old, watching her dad race with the most successful people in drag racing. It was definitely a different experience being at the races in the U.S. compared to the races in Europe, and Julie’s dream changed from racing in Europe to race in the NHRA Championship as a professional race car driver. Date of Birth: December 3, 1996 Hometown: Drøbak, Norway Began Racing: 2005 Occupation: Race car driver Major Sponsor: Oslo Tapet & Gulvbelegg (OTG) Favorite Track: Pomona, CA First NHRA Car: Top Alcohol Dragster Racing Goals: A career in drag racing as a Top Fuel driver and win an NHRA championship.

SORRY - We were talking and I didn't get the RECORD button at the very beginning...

Zoom webinar where we discussed why it's important for us to stay connected to not only our family, but friends, race family, our track owners, promoters, and more!

I had a conversation with someone who was remarking how some people think they are entitled (or the World owes them everything). The world does not owe you ANYTHING! But YOU owe it to yourself to give the world any the people in it to share the BEST YOU that you can.

So during this time of quarantine, find out WHO you are, and give yourself away! Do for OTHERS!

In your life, your business, and your racing world, people buy into YOU! They make a CONNECTION with YOU. They ESTABLISH a RELATIONSHIP with YOU. They build an ATTACHMENT with YOU. And finally they BUY INTO your personal BRAND. They will become a fan for life.

HOW to stay connected: Zoom, Facebook, IG, Twitter, Phone calls, text messages, Face time, Skype, webinars, LinkedIn, Organize a "train" of cars to drive by a friends house, race track, etc; send a card or letter; write a blog and post it on social media; tell stories - what have you been doing, something funny, etc; Facebook Live.

WHO should you stay connected to: Family, friends, race family, track owners and promoters, kids in your life, teachers, hairstylist, coaches, mailman, owners of businesses you frequent, former classmates, dentist, church family, neighbors, members of groups you belong to, pizza delivery guy, - YOU GET THE IDEA!

WHY you should stay connected: Thank you's; people you appreciate; Thinking of You; Life events like birthdays, anniversaries, new babies, new pets; holidays; keep in touch for no reason at all.
