What's it about?

[shelbycobra]

Competing to win my fourth championship.

[bullrider]

In what?

[shelbycobra]

IndyCar racing.

[bullrider]

Down in Indiana? I'm not very experienced in such things. Rodeos is what I know best. [He says and taps his belt buckle that the won during one of said events] Is it just women driving or?

[shelbycobra]

Indiana and the rest of the country and no, I'm the only woman running the full season.

[bullrider]

Huh. Well you must have had a lot of work cut out for yourself. Ain's easy for women.

[shelbycobra]

I had my battles, but we all do. You don't get to be the best by taking the easy road.

[bullrider]

Most women ain't interested in motors though.

[shelbycobra]

I'm definitely not most women. [Chuckles.]

[bullrider]

'm imagine so. Ain't man gals who knows how to drive well enough to win 3 championships.

[shelbycobra]

It is something to be proud of. [Nods a little and offers her hand.] Shelby Manning. I don't believe we've met?

[bullrider]

[He clasps her hand back and gives in a shake.] Jack Twist, and I don't think so.

[shelbycobra]

It's nice to meet you. I'm sorry if I'm not more verbose. I don't socialize much on race weekends.

[bullrider]

No trouble. I get the same when I'm focusing for my next ride.

[shelbycobra]

What is it you do?

[bullrider]

It depends on the season. Mainly I aim for rodeo riding but if I can't I find some ranch work instead.

[shelbycobra]

I'm afraid I haven't spent much time in the country. Born and raised usually in a garage somewhere.

[bullrider]

I'm from Texas myself. It's in my blood. Horses, rodeos, livestock and cowboys. That's my life.

[shelbycobra]

I hear that. My father was a driver before me. It's what I grew up in, though it's also what I love.

[bullrider]

Explains it. Things like that usually gets passed down.

[shelbycobra]

Which I'd be excited about if I ever had kids.

[bullrider]

'm sure they'd love that. Personally I'm not plannin' on havin' kids yet. I'm too young an' free. [Also gay but that's another matter. Or "confused young boy" as his author put it.]

[shelbycobra]

I've got about eight more years. [Yes, she's planned this.] I also have to get married first.

[bullrider]

Eight years? Ain't a lot of time. But I guess not everyone can take things as they come.

[shelbycobra]

Not in my line of work. It's too physical, I need to be out of the car before I can start a family.

[bullrider]

Ranch work ain't good for the body either.

[shelbycobra]

It's different when I'd be the one carrying the kid.

[bullrider]

Yeah of course.
