GoFastGirls Celebrates 5 Years: Empowering Women in Action Sports

In the fast-paced world of motorsports and action sports, GoFastGirls (GFG) has been a relentless force in supporting, uplifting, and empowering women of all ages. For the past five years, this apparel brand has transcended the status quo by providing not just high-quality apparel but also a vibrant community that champion female racers. Born out of a passion for speed and an unyielding commitment to gender equality in traditionally male-dominated sports, GoFastGirls has become a movement, uniting women who push boundaries and set new standards.

A Fast and Fearless Journey

“When we launched GoFastGirls, we weren’t just selling apparel—we were selling a mindset,” explains Kristen Scharbarth, co-founder of GFG. “We wanted to give girls and women a voice, a platform to show that they could not only compete but dominate in the world of motorsports and action sports.”

From motocross tracks to drag strips, GoFastGirls has been there every step of the way, supporting women who’ve not only competed but excelled in their respective sports. Kristen and Bear Scharbarth, the visionaries behind GFG, had a dream to bridge the gap between women and motorsports—a space where women could stand out for their grit, talent, and undeniable speed. Today, GFG is celebrating five years of doing just that.

Breaking Barriers: The Rise of Women in Motorsports

Over the past five years, the narrative has shifted—women are no longer just spectators in motorsports. They are engineers, team managers, pit crew members, and, of course, drivers, pushing the limits of what’s possible.

Bear Scharbarth emphasizes, “It’s not just about who’s behind the wheel. There are so many crucial roles in motorsports that women are excelling in, from team logistics to technical engineering. And we’re here to encourage and support them in every way.”

The celebration of five years for GFG is also a celebration of the diversity in the roles women can play in motorsports. The days of being relegated to the sidelines are over. Women are not just part of the race; they are changing the dynamics of the industry.

Key Roles Women Play in Motorsports:

• Drivers: From drag racing to motocross, women are racing head-to-head with men and proving that speed has no gender. Female racers are challenging traditional gender roles, with their talents and abilities being recognized more than ever before.

• Pit Crew Members: These high-adrenaline jobs involve quick thinking and precision, qualities many women bring to the table. Pit crew members are responsible for fueling, tire changes, and car repairs—all executed under immense pressure.

• Team Management: Managing a motorsport team requires sharp organizational skills, decision-making, and leadership. Many women are stepping into these critical positions, shaping team strategies, and leading their crews to victory.

• Technical Engineering: Behind every great race car is a team of brilliant engineers. Women in motorsports engineering are breaking new ground in designing and optimizing race cars for peak performance.

The Grit and Grind: What It Takes to Succeed

Succeeding in motorsports is no easy feat. It takes dedication, focus, and an unwavering commitment to the craft. The women who represent GoFastGirls understand this better than anyone. They face not just the physical challenges of high-speed racing but also the mental stamina required to persevere.

Kristen points out, “The grit, determination, and passion that these women display are truly inspirational. It’s about more than just racing—it’s about embracing the mindset of a champion.”

Whether it’s overcoming injuries, handling the emotional toll of the sport, or navigating the pressures of competing in a male-dominated industry, the women of GFG show what it means to be fast and fearless.

Empowering Through Apparel: The GoFastGirls Lifestyle

At the core of GFG is more than just a clothing line—it’s a lifestyle. The brand’s apparel serves as a badge of honor for women and girls who embrace the thrill of going fast and chasing their dreams. Each piece is designed not only for comfort and style but also to reflect the powerful energy of those who wear it.

Bear notes, “We wanted our brand to represent the attitude and energy of our community. When a girl puts on a GFG hoodie or races in one of our hats, it’s not just about looking good—it’s about feeling part of something bigger.”

Building a Community That Can’t Be Tamed

The GFG community is built on camaraderie and shared passion. Women supporting women, racers supporting racers. The energy is contagious, and the impact of GFG extends far beyond the racetrack.

“Girls are showing up with the willingness to persevere through challenges, and we’re right beside them,” says Kristen. “We’ve created a community that backs every girl, from the ones just starting to those who are dominating their sport.”

Through its social media presence, events, and partnerships, GoFastGirls continues to foster a space where women can connect, share their stories, and inspire each other to push the limits.

The Future of GoFastGirls: Where Speed Meets Innovation

Looking ahead, GoFastGirls is not slowing down. With new collaborations, expanded product lines, and more events on the horizon, the brand’s future is brighter than ever. As more women step into the world of motorsports, GFG will continue to be there, supporting and cheering them on every step of the way.

“We’re just getting started,” Bear concludes. “There’s so much more we want to do, so many more women we want to inspire.”
