  High road to the racetrack
  Safe driving is one of those things we all know is right, but it’s like healthy eating: In the car or in the café, we promise “I won’t do donuts” out of a sense of duty, not because we think it’ll be more fun that way. But a Denver-based driving clinic taught by female racing drivers is changing all that.
