BREVARD COUNTY • PALM BAY, FLORIDA — Kathryn “Kat” Redner, 20, of Sebastian, Fla. received her jet dragster license and has earned a position on the Larsen Motorsports jet racing team for 2018. 

Being a two-time world champion jet dragster driver and the president of Larsen Motorsports, Elaine Larsen has shown Redner the ropes of jet racing and has inspired her to get behind the wheel of a jet dragster.

“With over two years behind the scenes at LMS, Kathryn assists me on many projects ranging from school visits to the Blaze Re-Lit comic book series along with the marketing videos at LMS,” said Larsen.

“Watching Kathryn transition into the driver’s seat and gain confidence behind the wheel continues to fuel the LMS business model of helping create the next generation of high-performance professionals, ensuring our sport will go on for generations to come.”
