The Girls Go Grand Prix Racing

[Liz]

Today Linda and I got to race in Grand Prix cars.

We went to a place called "Speed Zone" which is in City of Industry, California, where they have 4 tracks and advertise "the closest thing to professional racing ever offered to the public - four classes of high powered racing." This includes drag racing, Formula One racing, Slick-tired racers and Ferrari F-50s. We raced in the Grand Prix cars, which handle like Minardis on really a really bad day - you could not slide these cars if you wanted to, and the steering wheels were not exactly sensitive! But the course was challenging and had various sorts of corners, and the cars went round well. I did four laps and averaged about 73 seconds, which was midpack and my lap times had dropped significantly by the time I ran out of laps. Linda lapped about the same average over 2 laps. I was in a Prost and she was in a Ferrari. And a good time was had by all.
