7am Race Gas

Posted In Cars

There’s something invigorating about the smell of race gas, tires, and brakes early in the morning.  And while I’d love to put my own life in my hands and drive the track myself, it’d cost a small fortune to make any of my cars track worthy right now.  Good or bad, I have little fear on the track whether it’s driving or navigating.  I tend to giggle when someone takes me off track. And as long as that offroading experience doesn’t end with a few cartwheels, welding a bumper to a door, or mating a tire wall, correct the line and move on!

So because of those enormous imaginary balls I’m hiding in yoga pants (figured I’d give my male friends that mental image they’re always drooling over… with a twist!), my friend Mark (who loves said yoga pants) offered me a ride in his newly mounted passenger seat.  Watkins Glen is an amazing 2.45 mile long track with elevation changes that Sebastian Vettel has cited as his #1 track to race at if ever given the chance.  So hell yeah, I strapped myself in and enjoyed the scenery- kidding Mark!  Want to ride along?  Check out his goPro video.
