As David Hobbs said on Wind Tunnel last night, Danica has everything
going for her that all successful drivers have, including: A great Team,
Great Cars, good skills and a fair amount of luck. The fact that she
grew up driving all sorts of things in competition completes the
package.
One suggestion is that perhaps we will find her some day in F1. I, for
one would like to see that. For once there will be a driver as
attractive as the girls holding up umbrellas! :)

Hey, I've seen Bill in a bikini, and... oh, ooops --wasn't supposed to
say anything about that... sorry, Bill!
No, just kidding, all I can say about Danica is YOU GO, GIRL!!!!!!!!!!
It is so nice to see a woman getting ahead by using her skill and not
just her looks. She started in karts at age 10 and was wearing out the
tires on the Mustang her parents got her at 16 every couple hundred
miles, then went to Europe for several years to build her background and
get the training she needed. She is very lucky to have parents who
understood the sport and encouraged her participation. I am really glad
she did not win the Indy this year, however, since that would have
touched off a firestorm of controversy about the weight differential and
she would have not enjoyed a good, clean victory. Fourth is EXTREMELY
respectable, especially for a rookie, and I will root for her to win
next year after she shows everyone she's not just a fluke. She did come
into the Indy 12th in the IRL point standings (GO, GIRL!!).
The only thing I am sad about is the 32 other poor drivers who didn't
even make the news buzz before the race...
Keep Triumphing,
Susan :)
