NAUGATUCK — Some teachers may prefer to take it slow when they’re not in the classroom, but Naugatuck High School math teacher Andrea Fitzgerald has a need for speed.
The 54-year-old Woodbury resident races sports cars as her pastime.
Fitzgerald is a member of the Connecticut Autocross & Rally Team or CART, an independent club of sports and performance car enthusiasts. The club sponsors several autocross and track events during the year. The club focuses on advanced car handling techniques and responsive driving, and also hosts events for charities.
