She's there!

You don't just show up, or just get hired to drive.   You have to prove yourself to have the right to run with the big dogs.  She paid dues to get to this point, and now she is paying her dues to cement a respectable legacy.

Yes you do. If your the second or third driver on the team your goal is DON'T BREAK THE CAR!
There are plenty of drivers that are just out turning laps hoping everybody in front of them breaks or crashes. Then there is big group that just doesn't want to dink the car.

In the late 70's I used to work the corners at Circuit St Jovite for the John Russell Driving School. It was easy to see who came to race and who came to play race car driver. There were young drivers like Jaques and Gil Vileneuve, Scott Goodyear and Dick Dodge who held Pikes Peak unlimited record for years. After a day of F4 racing we would go to go cart track and race carts till the police showed up. They would race anything!

It was very impressive to see them drive.

I don't know who this guy is, or where the race is being held for that matter, but he sure as hell makes up for a lousy qualifying spot! Count how many guys he passes on the first lap!  Bill T.

Wow...great segment....

Often they will have several classes in the same race.  I am guessing that is what was happening here since he totally outclasses so many of the other entries early on...

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Ashley Force has Danica beat 11 ways to Sunday. Better looking. Better person. You can tell by the guys they married. Ashley's husband is a down to Earth nice guy. Someone you would want your daughter to marry. Danica's husband is a subservient a$$ kisser. He has to be.  Bill T.
