I think we should raise the autocross age to 21 so that we don't get our butts kicked until way later. :burnout:

Great job, Isabella! Looks like the guy on the 2nd place podium isn't too happy. :roll:

Hey Peter B., you might as well just hand her the keys to your GT-3 when she's old enough to drive on the street. You could be standing on the same podium position as the guy in the red cap. :lol: Just ask Gunther E., Mark K., Dave M. Those "youngsters" learn quick! :burnout:

Keep up the good work, Isabella. :wink:

Bravo Isabella! I love it when kids do great.
Hold on to your egos guys. As soon as she steps into a Porsche we are all gonna get "chicked".  :bowdown:

Very proud papa indeed... but I'll fall to the wayside with all the other names who had kids much faster than them, Kinninger, Duncan, Gunter, etc., she's already practicing her heel toe downshifts in the 944 Spec race car. I don't stand a chance, but I can always blame the built in excuse of carrying more ballast. :mrgreen:

Mark I envision your future to include a battery operated Jeep from Toy's R Us for little Lydon sometime close to Christmas 2012 with the govenor taken out (40 points according to the new rules) :roflmao:

Naw, I don't think so.

As soon as she steps into a Porsche, it'll probably be for the factory, or some pro team. She won't bother with the small fish in a parking lot. :surr:

Hang on, hang on here...
Isabella is quick and she was really nice in the paddock during the NASA race at Cal Speedway, but....
Peter qual'd 4th out of 10 in his first race and he finished first in the rain on Sunday morning's qualifying race!
Dad's no slouch! :D
