Guess what????  Some of you already know....but i'm sharing it on here anyways.  I had the most exciting expirience in my life so far.  :)  Last Saturday I buckled myself into a stock car and raced against four other girls in the powder puff race.  When I got there I had already aranged for myself to have a car but I had never sat in one before. I got there and watched the races and then headed down to talk to Anthony (the guy who was letting me use his car)  He showed me how to drive and gave me some tips.  The tip i followed the best was: "put your foot on the gas full when you are on the straight stretch and only let off on the corners as much as you have to"  Me: "so you don't use the brake?"  Him:  "not really"  alright, i can handle this right.  Anyways. i got out there and just gave it.  I started in last place and right away passed a few girls then I rear ended my friend who slowed down in front of me....she spun out.  :) oops.  I ran into the same friend another time when i was riding high on the track and she was lower down.  We came into a corner and wacked sides.  Anyways.  I got second place. I know the girl who got first and it was her third time.  so i did not too bad then.  I spun out once in the middle of the race.   Then, my grand finish:  I was coming around the last corner on the last lap and I saw a car in front of me.   I didnt know if she was ahead of me or if i was about to lap somebody but I just floored it anyways.  When i was just through the corner i started to fish tale a bit and ended up going across the finish line sideways.  It was so exciting and  people thought i was going to hit Dave (the flag guy on the track)  anyways. right on the finish line I finished my 180 and ended up backwards just off the inside of the track.  and there i stalled.  I started it up again and pulled off the track real quick so the winner could have her victory lap.  anyways. It was sooo much fun. i want to do it again in a few weeks. but we'll see.
