The Victorian had a very successful racing career as she Won numerous State and National races and coming out on top for the Australian Long Track Champion and Dirt Track Champion and Victorian Dirt Track Champion for the last two years.
Street previously raced Road Racing in her early days, thus she is ‘more than comfortable at high speeds’. Street told us she did enjoy competing in the ASBK and MRRDA series when racing as a junior in road racing. However, when she started to ride dirt track on the side as part of her training for road racing she took to it and ‘fell in love with the feeling of coming into a corner at 130kph doing a controlled slide on both front and rear wheels at the same time’
Street is very excited for the year ahead. ‘I am super excited to see how this year pans out. I have put in a lot of hours with my riding and training on the side as well. Street comments that she is going up against tough competition in the Women’s as well as racing in the Pro Open and Pro 450 classes. ‘Yes. I do race against the men, it can be intimidating at times. I’ve work hard for this, just like they have, and I deserve to be here.’ Street has the desire to be one of the fastest riders in Australia. Her end goal is to take her racing overseas in the next few years.
