Thank you all for your support, cheers and excitement. To clarify some things: I am the 3rd woman in the top 10, 2nd woman in the top 5 and top 3. A female named Jean won several years with her male co driver. They placed first.
However, NONE of them did it in an open cockpit car! None of them had to brave the elements, find fuel in out of the way places, and absolutely NONE of them won in a car that their husband built with his own hands! (I am so proud of him).
Also, we are the first 4 cylinder car to be on the podium, the first alternatively fueled car to be in the top 10, the first open cock pit car to be in the top 10, the first hand made car to be in the top 10, ... am I forgetting anything.
Kiki is a great gal but she borrowed her car from Noble. Kevin and I braved the elements together and with good wishes from guys like you, our family and friends, we were able to take 3rd place!
We would also like to thank everyone who showed up to cheer us on - Barb and Chuck, Loren, Bob, Paul, Robert and Gary! Thank you sooooo much! That was so cool having you guys there! It really helped draw attention to what an awesome car the 7 is.
