Through cities, towns, fields, and woods, on roads that resemble nothing so much as a dirt track that Robin Hood might've stopped some unwary traveler on. At speeds that are at least 5-6 times too fast considering the terrain. Steep hills and drops, ninety degree turns, "S" turns, roads lined with trees, boulders, and brave (or foolish) fans. I'd love to go see one in person, even though I'd only see a split second of each car as they whooshed past. Very few women in this sport, too, at least as drivers; there are a few more co-drivers (they go so fast on these roads that they need a co-driver to call out what their next move should be--totally cool). Think of Podracing, without the give of having horizontal leeway. :D<br /><br />I actually plan on writing a story one day with a rally driver hero (sometime after Quantum Kiss and the sequels the new characters are demanding).

Very nice to see a woman excelling in sports ... there are bound to be quite a few during this weekend's runs in conjunction with the Cowtown Marathon, too. Would be fun if a woman won the Daytona and a woman won the Cowtown :-)<br /><br />NancyChill Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18011521248073693176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311327768267164732.post-5598319934068865392013-02-22T15:31:41.414-06:002013-02-22T15:31:41.414-06:00I know nothing about NASCAR, but I'm always gl...I know nothing about NASCAR, but I'm always glad to see women excelling in sports of all kinds.
