I was thinking the same, but when the race has over 90 people in it cars will kind of stop for you. Plus it is about going around the city and having fun. If you think that you can win then take it a little slow. all though my mom did in fact not race last year she would of had fun if she did.
it is about the fun not about the street cred if you win. remember these are messengers...donkey ball lickers.
