Hop In for a Ride

Being the girl that I am, I never thought that I’d also enjoy some things that men do. I was able to tag along on most of the track days that JM attended, most of which are in Subic International Raceway and once in the Batangas Racing Circuit. It’s a time attack type of race, so it’s safe most of the time, but there are cases when accidents really do happen (no one got hurt by the way).

You think I got bored because it’s a men’s club? Well it’s a big fat NO. There are actually a lot of perks that these trips gave me. Aside from being able to eat at Meat Plus Café in Subic, I also get to see a lot of wonderful cars - and I mean not just ordinary cars.

Isn’t a feast for the eyes? Some even bring their auto repair shop men to assist them in changing wheels or clearing out the passenger/back seat to make the car lighter.

Have I told you that the Subaru Impreza WRX in Red is my dream car? Oh yeah isn’t she a beauty? *drools*

A Toyota Camry would be a little out of place on a track although nothing would stop you from trying. I don’t know how it feels to be the one driving the car, but I must say that the drivers all look so cheerful when they are on track--maybe because of the adrenaline rush. Because my boyfriend is so nice, he let me ride shotgun for a few rounds on the track. Yes it was a hair-raising moment of my life but it was fun. It definitely surpasses the feeling of riding a rollercoaster. At the end of the tire-screeching action and some check engine light alerts it was a good day for my boy and for me too.
