I listen to Rhianna's “Pon de Replay” before I get in the car. It's my pump up song.
What is the most gnarly thing you've ever done, in or out of a car?
Oh my gosh, last year during my qualifying run for Pikes Peak, I was haulin' on the dirt. I came around this one corner with more speed thanI ever had and through the next turn all I could see was the top of trees as I was screaming sideways on the dirt. I remember hearing my navigator just yell “Floor it!!” and somehow we totally saved that maneuver, and got a pretty darn good qualifying time.
