I think I've found a ride to Topeka, and the details will be nailed after
this weekend. I just cannot thank everyone enough! This entry to nationals
was just totally spur of the moment, and I'm a little bit giddy because I
get to drive such a wonderful car now owned by Peter Raymond. This same car
won the class last year. Peter is a multi-national champ with quite a
reputation for developing cars, both in stock and in modified. Just ask Josh
Sirota. I am very lucky.

is none. That's not a race, and if there was one, it went to Shauna Marinus.
And if there is one today, you people need to open your eyes to all the
talented women drivers there are running in the Open class. You're selling
them short if you think I have a chance before they do, although your vote
of confidence is indeed flattering! Anyway, it's not my race.

completely foreign to me at the national championships, nothing new really,
but this time without having autocrossed since April. Oh yeah, bring it on.
I think that I will have fun.
