One year changed my life.

One year ago, I got to play spotter in a cross country race for the best race car driver I know.

One year ago, I helped build a car from the ground up … in thirty-six hours.

One year ago, I got kissed in front of a thousand flashing cameras … more or less.

One year ago, Speed Racer won the Grand Prix, and the racing world forever changed.

One year ago I put my helicopter, the TRX, into the garage.

I haven't touched it since.

One year ago I drove in the Casa Cristo. No one knew it was me … but I did. And I decided it was time I got a piece of the action.

My name is Patricia "Trixie" Shimura. This is a tale of love, lies, racing, and car-fu: my saga.
