Keynote Speaker - Elaine Larsen

With over 3 decades of racing experience, Elaine Larsen has no thoughts of slowing down. 

She is a wife, a mom, an entrepreneur, a children's book author, comic book creator, and she can drive race cars at speeds of over 280 mph in only 5.5 seconds. 

In 2024 Elaine takes on a new challenge, taking over the day-to-day operations of Larsen Motorsports. Her first decision was to bring on co-driver Josette Roach as her vice president of racing operations. 

Elaine meets all challenges head-on and rarely backs down.

In 2023, Elaine was inducted into the Florida Sports Hall of Fame for her achievements on and off the track. Being a strong positive role model is something Elaine takes seriously, fear is not an option, and failure is not an option.

What is an option? Giving 110% and then digging and giving a little more.
