Racing Cars Instead of Driving Soccer Vans

At the Toyota Speedway in Irwindale anybody can race NASCAR -- even jetsetting moms who don't have enough adrenaline in their lives changing diapers and scheduling playdates. Strapping on a stock car for twenty laps around the country's shortest track takes less than 15 minutes at 100 mph (give or take) and is not for the weak at heart. A hour training session with the track all-time speed champion was enough to teach this mommy how to 'scrub the tires' and then 'go green' until the checker flagged was waved.

Now...ask me if you think I'll let my kids try it when they grow up?
