One more, John -- Dave Hironaka, F125 winner by 0.198, with past champs Alan
sheidler & Byron Short in the field.
BTW, if you look in the "Solo Stats" and don't see ESL champ Sara Meissner
there, last year she was Sara Croasdaile.
--Rocky
BTW - AFAIK, the GRiMM award is NOT the SCCA Solo Nationals Rookie of the
Year award that is announced at the SCCA convention, same time as Driver of
the Year is announced.
