I'll suck you up and I'll spit you out and I'll play with your babies to the screaming show, oh yeah.

Welcome to Burn It All Down, the feminist sports podcast you need. I'm Jessica Luther.

Today I'm here with Sabra Cook, a race car driver. She will be here in Austin, Texas, the weekend of October 22nd, racing in the W series. I should go down to

the track and watch this. Sabra, how do you describe yourself in what you do?

So I guess being a race car driver, your job is to basically drive to the limit of the car,

tires, and track. As close as possible at all times.

Obviously, it gets a little different if your sprint racing versus endurance racing because

then you have some of the things to manage.

But ideally, your job is to optimize whatever situation you're given and extract the

most from yourself and everything around you.

That's amazing. And I want to talk about extracting that in a little bit. But I understand

that you were born into motorsports. Is that a fair way to describe it? Yeah, yeah, I would say

that my dad raced motocross and supercross professionally. And he and my mother obviously didn't

want us

racing motorcycles. So he found carting after he retired from from racing. And so we got into

carting at a at a young age and just took off from there. Can you explain like the word carting

shows up in in articles about about this what does that like go

carding like what does that mean when you say carding yeah so so go carding um i guess we just call

it carding most of people get a little confused we don't mean like amusement park fun carts

so the no the so i guess it's's like you can actually race.

You can be a professional cart racer.

And they basically, usually it's a single engine.
