At 5' 2", could she reach the pedals?

Yesterday marked another spectacular race day of the Long Beach Grand Prix 
and although this was the 34th and final of the Cart series, the event will 
continue as there is a 10 year contracted commitment. The only thing is the 
race will take on a different aura as all is now patched up with the IRL, as
you 
probably are all aware of. What you may not know is that Danica flew in from

Japan to see the race and held a special press conference right after 
winner, Will Power, and his 2nd & 3rd place runners up were interviewed: 2nd

Franck Montagny of Feurs, France, and 3rd Mario Dominguez of Mexico City.
Danica 
is very petite, spunky and has a dry sense of humor. Either that or she was 
still in euphoric shock and so exhausted from the excitement, long flight, 
no sleep and a large bottle of sake that was bestowed upon her as a gift
from 
teammate Tony Kanaan, shared in the helicopter en route to the airport for 
the flight home. She began to answer questions posed of her from the press; 
got into somewhat detailed explanations only to end by asking, "What was the

question again?" But the fact is, she's the first woman in history to win an

Indy race with Saturday's victory at Japan's Indy 300. And as she said, the 
record of being the first in history is a record that lasts a very long
time. 
The way she described herself is a persistent hard worker. This time she
used 
strategy to win what turned out to be a fuel conservation contest and 
pitched it up a notch to overtake Helio Castroneves in the last couple laps
of the 
race. She said she was just doing what she always does, but this time "It 
just happened." She was humble and appreciative of all her teammates who've 
always been positive and have always used the terms.. "When you win," not,
"If 
you win."
Now for the Pantera related content:
If Danica can do it surely it's time for another woman to try the Silver 
State! 
Laurie (reporting from the beautiful LBGP with my new Patron lime 
chapstick). 

& in case that needs explanation... Besides the race, LB is one big party 
animal party and in the Expo. Center there are countless sponsors and 
exhibitors. Patron had a nice exhibit with tequila shots, margaritas, and of
course 
their own version of chapstick.
