    This thread is depressing. First I had to wait until I was 21 to be legal and now you wnat to take my license away which I guess I've had four years too long already. Oh well, I still have my horses. :lol:

    From FOXNews.com (AP)

    "Savannah Rickli, of Littleton, Colo., the youngest female competitor in race history at age 16, finished her run in her 2003 Mini Cooper in 13:58.232 and was brought to tears after reaching the summit."

    "This is such a personal victory," said Rickli, a junior at Dakota Ridge High School. "I've been waiting for this moment since I went to my first Hill Climb 12 years ago. I'm just so happy to be up here."

    I'd call it a class of 3. Jeff Zwart has been doing this for years. This was his 7th class record.
