Women in the fast lane

In the fast lane you just go. There's no time to think about being underrated or never being able to get a victory yet.

On April 20 at the Twin Ring Montegi, Danica Patrick tasted sweet victory for the very first time in the Japan 300.

At the end of the race she was immediately bombarded by family, cameras and photographers for achieving her accolade of being the first female drive to win a race.

Here's a fun and free way to enjoy the summer evenings: intramural fishing. PUC has a lot of intramurals, but most of them run during the school year. The fishing intramural will be enjoyable because it runs through the summer months of June and July. This will be way better than sitting at home and playing a fishing video game.

Mon, 05 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT
