Intern with a team as part of a college education. Running divisional and national events and doing well will get her noticed. Drag racing is a pretty tight community. Talking to people like Leah and Erica, and females in other positions with some of the teams, even in passing, establishes connections. Introduce herself, not as a fan but as a participant, tell them what she intends to do, ask for advice. Being involved in the sport for a long period of time and learning everything that comes from being involved, will be valuable experience.
