A few cars drove In but most arrived on trailers towed by street vehicles. Some looked like ordinary cars, except for the super-wide racing tires, missing seats, and headlights. But most looked like the high-performance racing machines they Only a sheet-metal shell covered portions of the tubular frames where the driver sits In a cramped cockpit over the gas tank.

I It's easy enough to talk," observed one driver about a spectator's comments, "I want to see him get out there and do It." Laura was going to get out there and do It. She sat In her prodlfled (modified production car) Formula Vee Volkswagen, waiting for the engine temperature to hit 175 degrees and thetachto drop to 1500 rpm's. That Is where the engine performs most efficiently. As she looked down the course outlined by the orange pylons, she^went over the mental notes she had made while watching other drivers make mistakes and from- walking the course earlier. The track had two 90 degree turns and a tight slalom (a series of tight, 180 degree turns). She reminded herself that she would have to remember (Continued on page 5, Col. 1) a production car with engine mofidications. One popular racing class is lal engine block.

J The time for a woman's first visit to a gynecologist is when she becomes sexually active or turns 18 years of age, said Schilling. Cancer of the cervix Is thought to be related to sexual activity, Schilling said. This Is because the body Is being exposed to viruses and other agents, he added. A woman visiting the gynecologist for the first time should expect an examination to rule out any serious illnesses, questions on her health and medical history, a breast exam, a pelvic exam, a blood test, a urine test, important, according to Schilling, an oppprtuntty to ask the doctor questions. The doctor also needs to ask questions, saldSchllllng.Inorder to know the patient's health needs the doctor needs to know something about her sexual activities he added. •I don't want to be prying or make anyone uncomfortable, but if they are not using anything more than luck as a contraceptive, perhaps we should talk,' Schilling also said the doctors In the Health Center are not there to tell their patients how to practice birth control, but to let them know about all the alternatives. As long as things are normal, a yearly visit to a gynecologist should be enough, said Schilling. If things are not normal they should be treated, he said. •Knowing that you're normal Is very reassuring,' said Schilling. The more .you know about your body the lessjyou worry."
