Home of “Rottin” Rhonda Kelly and the Pavement Princess

Welcome to BeatByADiesel.com!

This site will keep viewers current on my racing endeavors as well as show other outstanding racing and high-horsepower diesels. We will also share information about the products and services that keep the Pavement Princess at the top of the diesel drag racing game while keeping her an outstanding daily driver. Please enjoy the photos and videos, and follow links to the best vendors in the business.

I have been drag racing diesels in the National Hot Rod Association since 2002, and have learned a lot, raced against some excellent drivers, and had my share of success. My truck is a true street truck, daily driven in all conditions. With this truck I have done quite well in both Sportsman and Pro bracket competition, defeating some top racers and qualifying for the Division 6 ET finals three times. In addition, the Pavement Princess has been the quickest drug-free* four wheel drive in the Northwest and among the quickest street trucks in the country for four years.

I would like to thank the following folks for helping me get started: Jon McCoy, Piers Harry, the Kondolay family, Mike Ramos, Jason Burton and Rob Hanson.

Thank you for visiting my site! Be sure to visit frequently and feel free to contact me here. Sponsorship inquiries welcome, but no solicitors, please.

IMPORTANT: If I have used a photo that you took, please contact me ASAP so I can give you credit for it! If you want it removed, I can do that as well. I want more pictures and video of my truck! If you have photos or videos you would like me to use on my site, please contact me. I will also be posting pics of other diesels, so if you have something you think might be of interest here, please inquire.
