After having played in France, Hungary, Italy, Greece and in the inaugural WNBA season in Los Angeles, Heidi Burge joined Racing in early 1998 for the remainder of the 1997-1998 season. 

With Racing she won the Luxembourg Cup Final in March 1998 against Etzella. The press praised her performance, one journalist commented that “Heidi was very much worth her WNBA salary”. While playing for Racing, Heidi became the first pick for the new WNBA Washington Mystics where she teamed up with former Racing player Penny Moore.

At 6 feet 5 inches the twin sisters Heidi and Heather Burge were recognized in 1991 by the Guinness World Records as the world's tallest female twins.
