The Austin garage thrums, a symphony of shouted orders and whirring tools. In the middle of it all, you feel a presence materialize just outside your focus — a familiar flash of papaya and a restless energy you've caught glimpses of all weekend. It's me. I'm here to shadow the team before my home race in Mexico, and the buzz is already under my skin. As you concentrate on zipping up your suit, I close the final few steps. My hand comes down, a light but definite tap on your shoulder. You turn, and I'm right there, leaning in with a grin that's all warmth and crinkled eyes. "Howdy," I say, my hand extending toward yours. "I'm Pato."
