Race update: We broke everything.

Our race team consists of 6 different racers. Two finished the race, but only one finished with a fully running car. Damage in the order that we broke: Driver 1: Running in the back. Broke an axle by herself. She didn’t hit anything or get hit. DNF. Driver 2: (Me) Running 4th place. Hit the giant hole in turn 3, blew a tire, sent me into the wall, resulted in a broken tie rod as well. DNF. Driver 3: Running in 5th, I believe. Spun in turn 2 and was involved in a head on collision. Temp flew up, so he came off to make sure it was okay. Car dies often and the front end is jammed in. DNF. Driver 4: Running second to last, I believe. Rolled the car after sliding up into turn 3 through the same hole that I hit. He is okay, car is smashed up, but still runs for the most part. DNF. Driver 5: Ran 5th, I believe. Did complete the race on 3 tires. And our one racer that finished was out there for his first weekend and pulled a 5th place. Stressful weekend, but slightly easy fixes. We’ll be back next week, fuckas!

Personal race update: so I go out for hot laps, and since I have a working transmission now, I ran that shit hard. I threw it into the corners and shit. I came off and everyones like “who are you?” Or when I came off from me heat or feature, I got a whole bunch of “Wow” and “Where did that come from?” The winner of the last two weeks couldnt pass me and didn’t pass me until after I wrecked. I wish I could have finished! There’s always next weekend.

One of my closest friends passed away 10 years ago.

Today, is graduation day. She doesn’t get to wear a cap and gown. She doesn’t get to walk across the stage with us when we get our diplomas. She doesn’t get to go off to college with us in the fall. Today, a group of seniors that were in our 2nd grade class went to her house and decorated it with graduation balloons and such. We also decorated her memorial tree. Her mom recognized me the second I walked up and gave me a hug. We all caught up with each other. And then when we finished decorating and took a group picture, the tears came. I miss her. Who would she be today? She didn’t get to experience life. I can still remember the day my mom told me she had passed. Today, when I throw my cap in the air, I throw it to her. R.I.P. Danielle. You are forever in my heart. You will never be forgotten.

These are the moments I live for.

Two days ago: A boy spent an hour telling me how much potential in racing I have.
Yesterday: Last day of school, tail gate party with the entire senior class. And my boss told me I had become a beautiful young woman. Also got to smoke a bit, and then hide it like a boss. (;
Today: Spent all afternoon with my babies, my baby girl kept kissing and hugging me and refused to leave my side. Then laughed for like 4 hours straight with my sister, literally my stomach hurt.
Now: Cuddling with my kitty and falling asleep happy. (:

A guy from the track added me and messaged me today.

He was telling me how proud he is of me and that really soon I’ll be in victory lane. But for now he wants me to continue beating the other girl. Haha. It’s nice to know some guys support girl race car drivers. It gave me some hope. (:
