Good weather, fun course, good organization (it ran really

with a trophy; however, both co-drivers trophied.

Yup, and she even won her class, but was *not* the fastest
woman there. In fact, FTD was set by another "chick racer".

Well, the Hardly Boys had a bit of trouble, probably fuel-related
but looked good while it was running.
