HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT

Macy Causey is 8 years old.

She has a black and pink 30 horsepower race car and goes 60 mph.
wow.
This is kinda like my old mans dream for our 9 month old daughter. 

Macy’s racecar, a used Bandolero that cost $3,000, was a gift from her parents for her birthday last November, and her father taught her to drive it. The 550-pound Bandolero — 34 inches high and 47 inches wide with a 70-inch wheelbase — can reach 75 m.p.h. But speed is restricted on the short tracks where the 8- to 15-year-olds race them.

Macy was hooked the first time she tried driving, unlike her 10-year-old sister, Brooke.

“She wears makeup and stuff like that,” Macy said of Brooke. “I like going fast. And I like spinning out.”

“She spends all her free time in the garage with her dad,” said Dee, who met Rette while racing go-karts. “It’s just who she is.”
