    Quote from LA times obituary

    "I psych myself. I remove all my makeup. I think stern. I bristle. I don't talk to anybody. You cannot think nice," she said. "Chivalry is dead on the racetrack. You're out there only for one thing. To win. Nobody remembers second place."

    No faking that.

    Sorry to hear of her passing. She had accepted an invitation to speak at the Corvair Society of America's national convention next summer, and I was looking forward to meeting her.

    The awesome thing about being first at something is that nobody can ever take that title away.
