And she started only few years ago.
You will not see her a lot on the internet participating in "opinion" marathons but you will find her riding or racing almost everything in the Balkan's area in the last 3 years with success.
After this race her and Vasilis Boudros are definitely the 2 most successful rally raiders in Greece and Timi the only Greek lady in racing with such a pal mares.
I am really happy that they belong to my "family" of racing people.
We only did minor things to get her going and she paid us back with this.
We are really proud.

Yo, Timi ....!

There. I think that says it all.

A huge shout-out to Ned for his stirling result!!
A big "whoa, dude!" to Charlie for never saying "die."

But while he hasn't gotten a lot air time ... I can't begin to tell you how utterly impressed I am by Mike(y) Krynock.
Every, every single day for him has been a battle of willpower to even start the stage due to being so dog-down sick.
He had a bad case of walking pneumonia and "something else" before even starting the rally -- so it has been just stunning to see him hang in there and keep on riding.

GO MIKEY!!!!

And more scoring ... ummm .... "misses:"

Mar 15, 2013, at 7:36 AM --- iPhone update from Mike Krynoc:

>> So I was third yesterday. But they have a bogus 4 hour penalty for missing a check and I did t miss any I w
>> Even asked at the end and they said all good. No missed checks.
So I understand that they are manually putting data down on a spreadsheet but I'm sick as ---k and I want at least one good result.
Admittedly I should be in the pro class but I am so sick and weak I'm fighting for a result I got one now please give it. Ack.
