And they would race
after the guys raced

:48:02
in whatever cars were left over,
and go out and race each other.

:48:06
By the time I came along,
they just didn't have that anymore,

:48:09
and I was determined
I was gonna race.

:48:11
And here I am, still racing.
:48:14
All of us know that we have to get
the car to the next one.

:48:18
And, you know, to finish first,
you have to first finish.

:48:21
I think also women have this image
of not being good drivers.

:48:24
But we always
tell people on the tours

:48:27
that the women tend to do
better than the men

:48:29
because we don't have
quite that ego behind us,

:48:31
- like something to prove.
- Exactly.

:48:33
Women will ask for directions.
:48:37
A lot of times you're
taken as a joke

:48:39
until you go out and show
that you're not a joke.

:48:41
You know, you're taken very lightly.
:48:43
Call BCA
and tell them we're on their ass.

:48:48
- I'll hit 'em when I have to.
- Okay.

:48:52
The horn was my job. As soon
as we were getting close to someone,

:48:56
that was my job, to hit the horn,
:48:58
warn 'em,
and Bekki sure rammed 'em.

:49:02
Okay.
:49:03
- I think they must know I'm here.
- Oh, yeah.

:49:06
We all have someone that we're
competing against that we're related to.

:49:10
And I think that's pretty uncommon,
:49:12
that a family can come together
and support each other

:49:15
even though they're competing
against one another.

:49:18
We started off bonding when they
were just that high by skiing together.

:49:22
But what it really does
is that it makes you friends.

:49:25
And if you're friends you have respect,
and that makes for a great family.

:49:28
I've always had that competitive edge
:49:31
to hopefully beat my husband
out there, so that'd be nice.

:49:33
Actually having my wife compete
in the event this year

:49:36
meant more than I ever thought it would.
:49:38
She's happier, healthier,
she's more just full of herself.

:49:41
Bob Sutton
putting together the girls' team

:49:43
happens to be
one of the biggest moves

:49:45
that I've had
in my little career down here.

:49:49
Families compete as well as friends.
:49:51
When the Honda helicopter
informed Steve Hengeveld

:49:53
that his lead had been cut in half.
Steve didn't even ask why.

:49:57
He knew his friend Andy Grider
had gotten on the bike.
