Bec's V8 Race Experience

So - for my birthday this year Jason bought me a voucher to race around QLD raceway - the same as I bought him for his birthday. In his defence I did actually say that I wanted to do it too. Now I'm glad that I did cos it was frickin awesome!!! This first pic here is of me with Jason's dad Chris - he also got a voucher for his birthday and he ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!

So for all of you playing at home you would recognise that this car below is the exact same car that Jason got when he did his race almost a year ago. This was purely by coincidence as we were just standing in line waiting for our cars to come and Chris kept asking me if I wanted to go in front of him and I just kept saying no its all good you go first ( He was jumping out of his skin excited - you could see) and he got a white car and I got this one. Which I had decided last time we were there was the one which sounded the nicest (and let me tell you it sounded so awesome from the inside).

So the crazy so and so's actully let me in and strapped me down in the 4 point harness which they had to undo to move the seat forward enough for me to push the clutch down all the way LOL!! Damn being a short shit. And the first thing that Josh - the instructor who sits next to you the whole time said after introducing himself was that my nicely painted metallic blue nails were too pretty to race in - LOL! If only he knew me... I'm so not girly.

And this one here is me going past Jason so fast that the camera didn't even have time to focus... Hmmmmm, maybe thats not quite true and Jason did get some very good ones but this fitted my agenda better LOL!!

This is me coming in to pit lane - much too soon for my liking - I swear I only did like 2 laps (ok so maybe I really did my 5 but it went so quick and I was having so much fun that it felt like it went much quicker)

And if it wasn't for this poor unfortunate spin by Chris then he would have undoubtedly lapped me, its hard to tell here because we only had the little lens on and this was on the far side of the track - but the car should have been pointed the other way.

All in all though we had an AWESOME time and Annette (chris's wife) thought it was absolutely fabulous that I got in there and gave it a go - and I am too cos I had so much fun and it just went too quick. Can't wait til next time...
