Abdo-lutely. Parking lot road courses, and a small dirt oval. I loved the dirt! Still do.

Everyone would gang fire on “Ms. Go-Daddy”’s car by the first lap. That would rock.
Then she could do the “everyone is out to get me” interview during the race as she throws her usual tantrum.

I’ve always liked (preferred!) both the trikes (often too high though) and (even more) the fore-and-aft “bikes” with swiveling sidewheels mounted on the sides of their enclosed cockpits for stability.

That would be best of all for one (or two) passenger commuter “cars” - the enclosed cokpit (if heated and A/C) give regular people protection from the environment that motorcycles simply can’t do, plus the side wheel (recoiling struts on shock absorbers) give stop light stability that a motorcycle gets from the driver’s wheels (er, legs).
