I was only sixteen when I first drove a dirt car at Travis Speedway. It was the most exhilarating thing of my life, to feel the motor, the straps of the metal seat, and the chill of the gearshift. My father tells me sternly, "Just listen to the motor and she will tell you when its time to shift. remember if you turn hard enough to the right you will find yourself going left. Bianca, you better not fuck up my car." After that little pep talk, I put on my helmet and make sure my harness straps are secure. My hand instinctively finds the button to start the engine. I feel the engine roar to life under my fingertips. I press the gas, adrenaline coursing through my veins. I shift into low, and slowly make my way onto the track for the heat race. The next thing I know the Green flag is waved and I'm slamming it into high as I float around the corners. I feel like I'm floating through thin air, like I could do anything. Eventually, I have to slow down and pull off the half-mile track. I pull up next to my dad and that's when I see him. He's tall with mid-length hair. He's slender but in great physical shape. He is smiling and laughing with my father as they walk towards the car. He looks down and sees me. He pulls down the window net and holds out his hand to shake my hand. His first words to me are, "Great driving man, that was impressive." I take off my helmet and shake his hand. "Thank you, but I'm pretty sure I'm a woman. I'm Bianca, what's your name?" He looks at me in astonishment and I can only smile. As he returns my smile , he replies, "The name is beau, it's nice to meet you, Bianca. Never knew a girl that could drive like that!" I look him in the eye, "You can thank that man right there." I point to my father. "He taught me all that I know, and I'm proud to say I think I'm pretty damn good at it also." Beau looks to my father, "Glen I think you did a mighty fine job with her, she can drive like a hell raiser but looks like a heartbreaker." Beau turns and  winks at me. I blush immediately, and he smiles that country boy grin at me. I turn my head to my father, "Where you want her Daddy?" He shakes his head with a smile, "You driving tonight or am I? 'Cause if you got the balls to go out on that track tonight with the big boys I'll let you have the damn car." That's all he had to say. "I'm driving, now where you want her?" All he could do was smile and Beau was staring in disbelief. "Put her beside the trailer." 

As I am getting out of the racecar, Beau grabs me by my waist and pulls me the rest of the way out. I look up at him in shock. "You waste no time do you?" Beau shakes his head, "No time like the present, plus who could resist a girl as beautiful as you? Sure as hell not me." Looking up through my lashes I see his eyes. They are the most beautiful color of light brown, like warm pools of honey. He is looking down at me, "I have to go, I'll see you on the track." I inhaled quickly, "You're racing tonight?! Against me?!" His smile says it all. "I'll make a bet with you. If I win then you go on a date with me tonight. If you win, well you get whatever you want." I look down at my hands, "What if what I want will benefit us both?" Beau tilts my head up and looks straight into my eyes. "What do you want Bianca?" My response is short and simple, "You." That's when his mouth comes down on mine. I feel as though I am going to die from the heat inside of me. It's like I am gasoline and he's a burning flame lighting me on fire. The kiss is amazing, like nothing I have ever experienced. Beau is the one to break the kiss. We are both panting as we gaze at each other. "No bet just a date tonight, no matter who wins the race. We have to get ready for the lineup. Tell Glen he can can stop looking out the rearview mirror also." With that, he kisses me swiftly and walks across the muddy pit. I choose to ignore my dad and climb back inside the racecar. My dad hops out of the truck and is smiling like he knew something would happen between Beau and I. I give him my mom's death stare and his smile only gets bigger. He reaches the racecar as I am putting up the window net. Leaning down, he said "Now treat her nice and easy, tonight isn't about winning, it's about showing them what you've got. You have control, you are not just another girl that wants to say 'Hey I got to drive a racecar.' You are out here to prove yourself as a winner but not tonight. Tonight you are just letting them know you are here." With that said I start the car and make my way to the staging lane. Beau's in the car next to me. I didn't see him pull up but he gives me a thumbs up and blows me a kiss. I just look away and move forward and the line progresses. I finally make it out onto the track with nine other cars. I am ready. It's the last race of the night we have ten laps and whoever is in first on the final lap gets the trophy and the money for tonight. Its going to be me. I keep repeating it in my head. Finally the green flag drops and I slamming into high gear and floor it. I make my way past tree cars, going harder into the turns. I see beau in third place. I am going to beat him. I make my way to fourth place and beau is in first place. I can't let him win. I keep telling myself. And with determination and skill, I make it to second place by the ninth lap. I am on his ass like white on rice. the it happens. I make it to the side and we are side by side coming up the front straight. He looks over and sees it's me and drives the car harder. As we pass the checkered flag I feel like I've been kicked in the chest. Did I just lose top Beau? We pull into the center field for tech and beau climbs out first. He's waiting for me when I climb out of the car. He wraps me in a warm embrace and I hug him back. I pull away and ask "Who won the race?" And as if he announcer can hear men he says, "FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TRAVIS SPEEDWAY HISTORY, WE HAVE A TIE!!! CONGRATUULATIONS TO BEAU BRANTLEY AND BIANCA RODES!!!" I scream as my dad makes his way to the center field and hugs me. "You can damn well have the car, I'm so proud of you!" Beau steps up, "May I take your daughter out? It would be-." Interrupting him, my father says, "Of course you can boy, just make sure she's safe, keep her as long as you'd like." with that my father walks to the racecar, climbs in and drives off, leaving me all alone with beau.
