In 2024, Chris and I decided to take a leap of faith and dive into a brand new adventure: our very first drag-and-drive event together, The Circuit: Charity with Horsepower. As a newcomers to this world of horsepower and adrenaline, I had no idea what to expect. But armed with optimism and a sense of adventure, I was ready to make some unforgettable memories!

Spanning over three days, we embarked on an exhilarating journey, covering a total of 300 miles. Our route took us through stunning backroads and charming small towns that made every mile an adventure in itself. One of the things I cherished most was how the drive never felt like wasted time; instead, it was a beautiful blend of exploration and anticipation.
As we prepped the car for the track, I found joy in the camaraderie we built along the way. It wasn't just about racing; it was about teamwork and support. sharing laughs, and even taking a few quirky detours that sparked new inside jokes. Friends and fellow participants also accompanied us, adding to the thrill. Feeling that sense of community amidst so much horsepower was surreal!

Once we hit the track, the excitement reached its peak! The roar of engines, the smell of burning rubber, and the electrifying cheers from the sidelines combined to create an atmosphere like no other. Seeing Chris in the drivers seat fueled an adrenaline rush like never before! Each race was not only a test of speed but also a showcase of skill and strategy.
As the final day came to a close, I found myself feeling grateful for this unique experience.

The charity aspect of The Circuit reminded us why we joined in the first place: to have an adventure and help others in the process.
