Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Who has been your greatest influence and motivator in your success?
Ms. Leslie Porterfield:
I had read for years about The Bonneville Salt Flats. The movie “World’s Fastest Indian” is a great portrayal of what racing is like there. It all inspired me to go set a record. I have been involved with other types of racing, but setting world records at Bonneville is the most unique racing I’ve ever experienced. I am still in awe of the machines and people seen there. I love the fact that you can have such freedom to engineer a motorcycle to go fast. It’s unusual to have a race setting where you can try so many ideas. The fellow racers, crews, and race workers are amazing. It’s like a family! I’ve met some amazing people from all over the world, and all walks of life. I love that I see people with a rusty vintage bike in the back of their truck that comes to race along with million dollar plus race vehicles with the latest technology and equipment. It’s so diverse, yet everyone helps fellow racers out. It’s such a great experience.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What are your future plans, any championships or new records to make?
Ms. Leslie Porterfield:
I have enjoyed such success with my current records, and I hope to find a new challenge. I am working on finding the next adventure in racing!
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
