Living Fearlessly in 2014: My First Ride-Along During an (Actual) Car Race

On January 11th, I climbed in a 2014 Corvette Sting Ray, strapped on a helmet, and rode along with a professional race car driver during an actual car race. How did this come about? And why did I do it? Well, it’s a bit of a story. 

For 2014, instead of setting New Year’s Resolutions (which I despise), I decided to pick a word of the year, with the intention that I would focus on making all decisions in alignment with that word for the entire year.

My word? 

“Fearless.”
