Well my daughter had gotten 9 white times slips and 1 yellow. Not bad for her first time driving the Brickyard 400! She never even drove it on the street yet. She spanked several Mustangs and even smashed some of the guy's ego! Yes ,you got beat by a girl! I kept hearing people say "There is a girl in that SS wearing a helmet". She went 10 rounds before breaking out. The temp was very cold (felt like 30 degrees)and very windy all day with 30mph winds. I thought it was going to snow! One round she had the ASR off and left good and 20' later while I was taping the run from the big end,I saw a huge blue tire smoke cloud and then instead of seeing the front of the car,I saw the left side.OH **** I said.The car went sideways 2 times, she gathered it back up,cleaned her shorts and nailed the throttle.The 2001 Trans AM she was racing got a few car lenghts on her during that mishap and to my suprise ,she still won the round. He broke out! That run was an 16.48 sec at almost 100mph! LOL! Her best run with the ASR on was 13.49 @103.16 with a not so good 2.159 60'.The track was very slippery from the cold weather and that 30mph head wind did not help either.Everyone from all of the schools and some professional drivers were talking about her big sideways stunt.My heart was in my throat. When she got back into the pits,she was calm and thought that was cool! I have that on tape since this was her very last time that she could participate in the High School Nationals. There was a 1/4 wheel standing school bus that last year went 10.00 @130mph but because of the bad wind he did a 15.7 sec 1/4 mile run today. Posts: 5682 | From: Dearborn,Mi. | Registered: Feb 2002

She loves drag racing! My wife does not really like the idea of my daughter racing but I do! Especally when she is very good (had her 1/4 drag racing when she got her licence at 16)and her brother is a natural at drag racing ,always cutting .5 something lights! Who says girls have to play with dolls? I had given her cars to play with like her older brother got!

If you have a friend with a digital camcorder, you could dub it to their camcorder and have them transfer it to computer. Otherwise, you'd have to buy video capture equipment to convert your video to a format the computer will recognize.

My daughter is six and loves going to the strip with me. I only get to go to an 1/8 mile track(1/4 to far away). She wants to ride with me down the track!! So in the future, she will put the helment on and hang on . Our track allows everything. In the future, it may be her in the drivers seat. The wife approves too!!

Brian, get your daughter involved with fun stuff like the track and they will learn to race at the track and not on the street.
