Clara Harter is an award-winning reporter for the Southern California News Group. We caught up with her at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach where she had just finished riding with Davey Hamilton in the INDYCAR Experience Two-Seater. Her smile and enthusiasm for what she just experienced were off the charts. She gave us her take on what it was like and also what she normally covers for her employer. A fun interview with a talented woman in the news industry. Enjoy!

NOTE: This is the first in a series of interviews of women for www.raceshool.com and our “Women in Motorsports” month of September. This has now become an annual tradition. We’ll hear from women with various roles in the motorsports industry from team owners, drivers and more. Check back weekly to find out who’s next!

Clara Harter carries the smile that would last all day after experiencing her thrill ride with Davey Hamilton on the streets of Long Beach.

“We went how fast?!!!”  This might have been what Harter was thinking after she got the post-ride debrief from her chauffeur, Davey Hamilton.

Harter is happy to have experienced such an incredible thrill ride and Hamilton is happy to have provided such a memorable experience.
