Introducing Kelly “Mini” Frost: Perth’s Best-Kept Secret in Drag Racing
You know that friend who’s got this infectious energy—the kind you can’t help but admire? That’s Kelly “Mini” Frost in a nutshell. If you haven’t heard her name before, buckle up, because you’re about to meet one of the most genuine rising stars in drag racing. Kelly may be well known in the tight-knit Perth Modified drag racing community, but it’s time the rest of Australia gets to know this powerhouse who’s on a path to make a real impact, both in the pits and, one day soon, behind the mic.
Kelly’s love for motorsport runs deep. Her journey into the world of drag racing was sparked by family tradition—her dad, Andrew Frost, has been a fixture in the scene for years. Growing up surrounded by the roar of engines and the smell of burning rubber, Kelly found herself drawn to the track, eager to be part of it all. But she’s not just following in her dad’s footsteps; she’s carving out her own space, blending her hands-on experience crewing for Modified Racing teams with her budding skills as a trainee on-air talent.
What’s so special about Kelly is her willingness to dive into every aspect of the sport. She’s got this incredible blend of enthusiasm and curiosity—you’ll find her with a wrench in hand, helping the team get the car race-ready, or up at the mic, learning the ropes of commentary. While she’s still in training and honing her craft, there’s already a spark there—a confidence that comes from her background in performing arts. Kelly isn’t shy of the spotlight, and it shows. She’s got a natural flair, the kind that makes you want to stop and listen because you can sense the passion behind every word.
For Kelly, drag racing is more than a sport—it’s a community. She lights up when talking about the friendships she’s formed and the shared sense of excitement that fills the pits before a race. “I can’t explain it,” she says. “The adrenaline I feel pulling into the burnout box or standing behind the mic—it’s unlike anything else. It’s a rush that never gets old.” It’s clear she’s found her place in the racing world, and she’s eager to bring others along for the ride.
When it comes to dreams and aspirations, Kelly isn’t shy about setting big goals. Her ultimate dream? To take over her dad’s legacy and build on it, making a name for herself as a respected voice in motorsport commentary. She’s got her sights set on the national stage, hoping to be part of major events across Australia. But for Kelly, it’s about more than personal success. She’s determined to use her platform to inspire other young women to dive into motorsport. “If you can dream it, make it happen,” she says. “Go for what you want with everything you’ve got.”
Kelly’s journey is still unfolding, and it’s a story worth following. From her early days in the pits with her family to her promising future behind the microphone, she’s a breath of fresh air in the racing world. She’s got the drive, the personality, and the kind of energy that makes you want to cheer her on, every step of the way.
So here’s your introduction. I couldn’t be more excited for you to meet Kelly “Mini” Frost. She’s the real deal—full of heart, grit, and a determination to leave her mark on the track and beyond. I have no doubt you’ll love her as much as we do.
