About the crew

Jenn Jaramillo is the youngest of four and grew up around cars and racing. Jenn was 10 years old when Fred started racing. She has been the main crew for more than 7 years. She has been getting track experience by racing at some of the races. Currently she is going to UNM full time while working as the office manager at Bosque Tire & Automotive. Her college takes up most of her spare time but she makes a huge effort to attend as many races as possible.

Deanna Jaramillo got her knowledge of drag racing from her husband Fred. She met Fred in 1998 and started hanging out at the shop helping rebuild and work on engines, cleaning cars and whatever else needed done to get to the races. Deanna became a main crew member really fast with her dedication and willingness to learn.

Both Deanna and Jenn are working toward getting their NHRA license within the next year or two.
