P3 and I need a drink.

Whiskey?

[shelbycobra]

If you've got some. Or I might just order a beer.

[chaosling]

I've got some.

I stole it from my father. He enjoys collecting all this good stuff and I figured he wouldn't miss it.

[shelbycobra]

I will gladly take a shot if you don't mind. Can't drink too much, I work tomorrow, but hell of a day.

[chaosling]

[She will pass over a bottle and a glass.]

Pour yourself, that way you're the only one to blame.

Bad hell?

[shelbycobra]

[Shelby sticks with half a glass before she pushes it back.]

Good day. P3 is a good day. Just one of those days when you scare yourself because it's so crazy.

[chaosling]

Like a convention then?

[wise. It's good stuff.]

[shelbycobra]

Like "oh hey it's a good accomplishment that I didn't hit that wall" crazy.

[chaosling]

P3 is a ... what?

I realized I should have asked.

[shelbycobra]

Oh, sorry. It's the shorthand for saying I qualified third for tomorrow's race.

[chaosling]

Oh!

That's good!

That is good!

[shelbycobra]

Yeah, it's really good. It was just interesting to get there. It's one of those tracks where you really have to have balls to get the car to go that fast.

The race should be crazy good.

[chaosling]

I've never seen any real car races before.

They sound exciting though.

[shelbycobra]

If you're ever around on an IndyCar weekend, let me know. It's the best thrill I've ever had in my life.

[chaosling]

Am I going to be able to ride along?

[is kidding.]

[shelbycobra]

[Laughs.]

Not in my car, but they do have this two-seater car that you can sign up to take a lap in.

[chaosling]

How much does that cost?

[shelbycobra]

Actually I don't think it's a paid thing. I think it's just like a first come, first serve on track days. I've never checked, obviously I'm usually doing like twelve things on track days.

[chaosling]

Of course, you've got more important things to worry about than crazy fans.

[shelbycobra]

Our fans are actually pretty calm, which is nice. Though I'm usually in my own world on a race day.

[chaosling]

Yeah?

Most fans I know are from like science fiction conventions that my dad dragged me to when I was little.

They're insane.

[shelbycobra]

I've not seen that yet.

Though I don't read the comments online most of the time. They're usually from guys who want to sleep with me or comment on my ass.
