Who We Are

Meet the Boss Lady Kristen.  Mostly unseen at the track, she is typically found in her trailer working away.  She has been part of DragRacing her entire life, making it fitting to be what she does from day to day.  

Eighth Mile Apparel was born from a thought by Kristen Neal in the staging lanes of NHRA’s ECF of 2018.  She was on the search to create a product that could be personalized and universal to all dragracers. After intense observation of customizable items, the parachute tag was born.  

 
   With 3 years of improvements and engineering, 1/8th Mile Apparel is the only company in the world that offers such a product.  She is not stopping there, and has transformed the tags into functional winch pulls for the off-road world, and personalized wash plugs for the dirt and motorcross world.  

   Naturally, she grabbed the attention of major companies in the industry that has helped catapult her to the status that she has now. She can be found vending at the biggest attendance and highest payout races in the country. 

    She has expanded her gifts in graphic art into hero cards, shirt design, and web design.  Kristen will always strive to improve her skill to be different, original, and stand out from the rest. 

“I am beyond blessed to do what I do. Traveling to dragstrips at some of the biggest races in the U.S. and meeting everyone in the industry.  All of us artists are family, not competition, and that’s what I love.  I get to be at my favorite place in the world and do what I love with the people that I love. It doesn’t get any better than that.”

  Kristen has no plans of stopping, and is focused on her growth.  She hand makes, and personally designs each item with love. Every year she adds dates to her vending schedule, and is working to expand he customer base.
