But Dina’s real mission now is safety. After taking a break from racing due to the pandemic and personal challenges, she’s preparing for a return to the track—and she’s using her voice and platform to educate others on the critical importance of safety equipment and protocols.
She discusses overlooked issues like racers refusing to wear gloves, failing to check fire suppression pins, or unbuckling mid-run. From junior dragsters to Pro Mods, she stresses that safety isn’t optional—and that racing responsibly ensures the sport’s future.
