So, we are at High Plains Raceway, located about an hour east of Denver in Arapahoe County.

This is the only track in America that was originally conceived, designed, financed and built, and is now owned and operated by a group of amateur clubs rather than private owners.

This track was designed and conceived starting in about 2003, and was finally built and open in 2009.

During the summertime, most of the weekends are booked by the amateur clubs that own the track for various purposes.

And during the week, we have what we call open lapping days, which is when the general public can come out to the track and they can put on a helmet... they can drive their car on the track at speed and just sort of what we say is: enjoy your car the way it was meant to be driven — without any speeding tickets or ending up in jail at the end of the day or anything like that.

To come out on those open lapping days, virtually anybody who's over the age of 18 can come out.

You don't have to have a driver's license.

We do have what we call a driver's meeting at the beginning of every day.

And if it's your first time out, the meeting attendance is mandatory.

But that's where we talk about all the rules of the day.

I started when I was 48.

So, I've been racing about four years, and I got started with a Hellcat and a class that they offered you to learn how to drive a Hellcat, and they put me on track.

And I knew from then that that was something I had to do.

I race wheel to wheel in ST3 class and its a power-to-weight class.

So, I'm racing BMW M3s usually.

I am the only woman in my class and I love passing all the boys.

Oh, it's freeing.

It's like almost a dance with the car and the road.

It's ... once you get into the groove, it's absolutely exhilarating.

I try to come out here as much as possible.

I have a season pass.

So about, I would say once a month.

Out here, we go by lap times.

So, I'm not the fastest, but I've done a 206 out here, which is fairly fast.

But yeah, the back straights, you can go in anywhere from 130 miles an hour and faster so.

I have a race suit on.

Brett has a race suit on, so it's a fire retardant race suit.

So, just in case something happens, you're not going to catch on fire.

It feels good.

You get a rush.

So, yeah, it's quite, quite exhilarating.

There are racers here that may eventually go on to have professional careers.

But this is just where they start.

The main goal of any track should be safety, and that's one of the reasons that we came so far out away from Denver was to have a lot of open land, without any trees or anything like that, where we can have a lot of what we call runoff.

Because our primary goal is that everybody go home at the end of the day with your vehicle and your body in the same condition in which they arrived.
