Professional Career
Precious was not always interested in street racing. In fact, she did not have much exposure to it until she was 19 years old. She used to travel to Memphis with JJ Da Boss, a renowned street racer, to watch him race and help him out with his garage. She was fascinated by the cars, the speed, and the adrenaline of the racing scene. She asked JJ to teach her how to race, and he agreed to mentor her for a year. He taught her the basics of street cars, such as checking tire pressure, strapping the cars down to the trailers, and tuning the engines. He also taught her how to handle the pressure and the competition of street racing.
Precious made her racing debut with an old car named “The Puddle Jumper”. She proved herself to be a fast learner and a natural racer.
