If your manhood will get wounded by "getting beat by a girl", then you dont want to take her to the track..

We took tiffany to her first bracket race, which she won..and endured the guys saying "ahh.. beginners luck".

So we took her back out the next week and entered the race..and she won.

Those guys promptly "shut up, and stopped talking to us".

THAT was only the beginning.

4 years later she single handedly destroyed a racing series.
At the beginning of the year there were 18-25 cars every night.
Towards the end of the year, if tiff drove her car to the lanes, many of those guys wouldn't even enter the race.
It got "SO BAD" the track owner had to put up a guarantee'd 400$ to win just to get those "guys" back off the trailers and into the race.

They literally put a $400 dollar bounty on "that girl in the lincoln".

Those guys with full blown race cars didn't really like getting beat by a girl.

Myself... when I lined up against tiffany in eliminations it didn't matter if I "won or lost" because I know that 1 of the "crazy 8's" was making it to the next round.

We worked long and hard to "dodge each other" in the lanes, most of the time it worked.. but.. once in a while I had to race her in round 1 {that sucked)

But more times than not, both of us were still IN the race in the semi final round {final 4 cars) and again.. if we had to race each other it was a good thing because ONE of us was going to the final!

More than once it was an "all crazy 8's final round".

If you want my opinion...

TAKE YOUR GIRL TO THE TRACK.
FORCE HER IF YOU HAVE TO
GET HER IN THE SEAT...and once she starts kicking the crap out of RACE cars then your weekend plans will be set in stone for a good long time!

The KEY to this is entering into eliminations and winning races.
TNT can be very boring and you wont keep their interest very long.
DONT SPECTATE, PARTICIPATE!

some one is whipped hahahahah lol

she whupped him good on the first pass..

Although he went quicker,
she tree'd the crap out of him and carried him all the way to the stripe.

he had "ET and MPH" for bragging rights, but.. the WIN light didn't burn brightly in HIS lane.
(grins a smack talk smile)

there is more to Racing than "Trap speed and ET" there is a cool little number at the bottom of the time slip called "M.O.V".
on that run the MOV was something like .280 which... "aint even close".

Sorry eddie..I'm bettin on the girl bro.
Once properly trained she's gonna be "brutal" at the dragstrip!

and.. god forbid if she catches a GLIMPSE of one of them thar "Jr Dragsters".

Yer.. DOOOMED I tell ya.. DOOOOMED!
