VANCOUVER, Feb 18, 2010; The Reuters Olympic web site reported that Olympic Champion Torah Bright said that if she wasn't a snowboarder she'd want to be a rally car driver?

TB: I love to drive cars and I've always wanted to learn how to drive and would love to race cars. So any chance I get, I love to go out to the [racetrack] and race go-karts.

INT: Do you get competitive on go-karts?

TB: Oh my goodness, I am a different person when I get in that go-kart. No mercy. It's like people will ask me if I'm competitive snowboarding -- not at all compared to the go-kart. I will play dirty, anything. I will knock you off that track.

Int: What is it that brings that out of you?

TB: I don't know what it is but I really feel that I'm a totally different person. I get competitive and I wanna win. But it's not really that way with any other sport I've participated in.

TACH: Hey Torah, We'll bet you didn’t know that professional race driver Danica Patrick today’s heart throb of NASCAR and INDY began her racing career as a KART driver also.

I'm sure that many professional driving instructors in our audience would be thrilled to help teach you how to take your ample athletic skills and apply them to professional driving...any takers out there?
