That's awesome! She looks very prepared and focused. @Quattro15 check the link for IG that comes from the website media page. Either a bad link or taken over account.

As a gearhead that’s awesome. Tell her congrats from all of us. Get that W in her class!

Outstanding!

I try to post a link here every year for people who want to follow the PPIHC. Sometimes it is video, sometimes just audio. Since the closing of Pikes Peak International Raceway, and now Bandimere, PPIHC is about the biggest racing event Colorado has anymore.

I've got an old Datsun 510 that I have wanted to fix up and put on that mountain......one of these years.

We will be sure to root for her when you two come back to the state.

Congratulations on such a big accomplishment!

Shhhhh! Funny thing though. Not many Anti-Gun Socialists at the racetrack.

Many years ago I did some engineering tests on that road. I cannot imagine the level of courage to make the trek at speed, nor do I have it. I hope she makes it like Janet Guthrie made it...as an authentic racer.

Very cool, if I had the time/$ I'd love to get back into racing.
Did a lot of amateur autocross in college & loved it.

American X Kart

Those are the stats, but her Kart is Turbocharged now. It should make 80 more Hp.
