RWC'S RACERS SHARE THEIR PERSONAL QUICK TIPS ON WINNING IN LIFE, LEARNED WHILE NEGOTIATING LIFE'S POTHOLES AND BARRICADES WHILE BUILDING THEIR CAREERS, WHICH ARE APPLICABLE TO ALL CHILDREN AND TEENS REGARDLESS OF RACE, CREED OR CULTURAL BACKGROUND: LEARN THE ART OF TEAMWORK, FIND A MENTOR, STUDY, EXPLORE YOUR TALENT, BE FLEXIBLE WITH DREAMS AND GOALS, AND MORE. RACERS BELIEVE THAT LIFE IS NOT ALL A BOWL OF CHERRIES OR A GALLON OF FUEL, AND THAT CHILDREN AND TEENS SHOULD BE ARMED WITH LIFE'S PRACTICALITIES.
