The youngest racer is Lydia, who’s six. Then there’s big sister, Allie, who’s eight. Dad also races. Little Jake will start racing next year when he turns five. Mom is the only 'odd man out'.
They’re a family that likes to live life in the fast lane. The Coonan family has been racing for four generations and 70 years. The youngest racer is Lydia, who’s six. Then there’s big sister, Allie, who’s eight. Dad also races. Little Jake will start racing next year when he turns five. Mom is the only "odd man out".
They live in LaSalle County and run a welding and fabrication shop. When dad, Alex, isn’t at work, he’s banging away, trying to create a bigger and badder race car. A dragster to be exact. "It's the 2 o'clock in the morning, thrashing and working on race cars. The thrill of being at the race track and getting your first round win…We're eating dinner at the shop. Kids are working on race cars."
The girls just completed a junior drag race in Byron over the Fourth of July weekend. Allie won the finals and Lydia made it to the semi-finals. Racing consumes most weekends, proving the family that races together, will more than likely be racing for a long time.
