| March 11th, 2001 It all started after I was watching racing so much and wanted to get in a race car....This was the 1st race car I've ever driven. A few friends told me about this...so I finally looked into and did my research and got a racing school session scheduled. I was really excited when I got there with my family....we helped unloading some of the trailers with cars in them. For an hour the istructors told us all we needed to know about mini-stock racing then let us do laps around the track. The track this was held at is Orange Show Speedway in Southern California. When we 1st got on the track I chose the #7 car, and we took a few pace laps(10 or so students.) When they dropped the green flag with all my experience on simulators and Nascar3(computer game) I floored the throttle and right away passed cars left and right(or just wanting to go as fast as I could right away.) This is when I knew I REALLY wanted to race. Well, the instructors never told us NO PASSING so they red flagged the laps session and put me in front of the pack. After that for about 30 laps I went as fast as I could One time I wasnt watching my line very closely so I hit a dip on the bad track surface and did a 360. I was able to keep it in one spot and keep going once I was clear of the other cars. O cpmtomied pm with flooring it exiting turns, right next to the wall, then sometimes easing; sometimes slamming on the brakes into the turns. These were smaller cars so they wouldnt slid out suddenly by braking that much harder. When our lap session ended I wanted to keep going, but I got my Mini Stock Racing Liceense so I could race if I found sponsors. |
