 Hi Hannah,

Thanks the for note, and it was fun being at your school.

Getting into racing involves getting to know car-types and motorheads.  They

always welcome girls, so don't be shy.  Just tell them that you "want to

learn."

Gradually you can get comfortable knowing more about cars and racing.  Find a

local dirt track speedway--the nearest one is probably Princeton, MN.  When

you go, get a pit pass, which allows you to wander anywhere and watch the

race teams and look at the cars.  There, too, introduce yourself and make

friends.  Maybe you can get on a pit crew (it's very informal), and

eventually work your way up to being a driver.  I know you'd have fun.

Good luck,

Will Weaver
