Joe, my wife is all over it. She is not a "driver" herself, but she is psyched about "daddy's little girl" getting into motorsports & kicking some little boy ***....

Well my wife is a little worried that I might try to turn her into a little boy.
Hey I don't care if she wants a pink kart and pink helmet!

Iluhyouguys and gals!! Y'all are the best; I knew I'd get some great advice here. Thanks!!
Great comments from the dads. My dad used to race, and has certainly inspired my motorsports interest.

NoBody else uses the lights?
I give them a "high beam flash", if I don't get a point by for a few turns.... (after filling their mirrors).
(I sure wish more girls would give me the HIGH BEAM FLASH! )

Another method would be to sidle up to them in the turn, especially effective in left handers where you can get up to their door. If they don't point you by after that, they are brain dead!

I forgot about the lights.
<---- See avatar.
I run with my high beams on so they can't miss me come up behind them. It's daylight, they won't go blind from it. I've had several people mention that can't miss them.

not to hijack this but there have been a lot of comments about kids going to the track, be it girls or boys. I think that's wonderful because I take my son and he sort of, not really, has to earn the abitlity to go. A good report card, weekly test, and a good attitude pretty much get him a pass to anything but he loves the track and the race car; I love the fact that all P-Car people are so damn nice to anyones kids at the track. My son Noah wants me to pass cars on Parade laps - gotta love that! Get them started early, girls and boys!
