Kandy Mitton
Inducted 2021 – Competitor / Media
Kandy Mitton has collected more than a hundred trophies and plaques since she started drag racing in Atlantic Canada around 1997. She became the first female driver to win the Atlantic Drag Racing Association (ADRA) championship in 2015, advanced to the quarter finals (going seven rounds) for Team Canada in the NHRA Open at Lebanon Valley Dragway in 2016 and once went on a 34-round win streak between two tracks and three weekends.
Mitton became the first secretary/treasurer for the ADRA in 1998, a role that needed to be split between two people when she stepped away in 2008. She also had a Rogers TV series, 2FAST4U, for two years, highlighting high schools where students built drag racing cars to compete against each other on the May long weekend.
