SuperCar Week 2021 | West Palm Beach
Sunday, April 18, 2021 is the grand finale of the 11th annual SuperCar Week show. Hundreds of exotic cars are on display on the West Palm Beach Waterfront. Luxury cars, muscle cars, vintage cars, and even military carriers are all in one place. The highlight of the event for me is meeting a two-time world champion dragster driver, Elaine Larsen. She races jet cars equipped with airplane jet engine that propel her at the speed of over 300 mph. "Fear is not an option when you get into something like this," she says. Larsen is also a champion of women empowerment. She mentors young women through an internship program with the Florida Institute of Technology, providing hands-on experience with jet car racing, science, technology, and engineering.
