As an adult she was a trailblazing rally co-driver, calculating and guiding drivers racing through extremely technical terrain. She won national championships in the Sports Car Club of America, California Rally Series, and North American Rally Cup co-driving series. She made countless friends in the rally community along the way, as she did everywhere she went. Rally is one area of her life where she lived her value of empowering other women by inspiring confidence and encouraging them to take risks.

I wasn’t around for a lot of my mom’s rally adventures, but here are some miscellaneous shots I found.

If anyone has any context for whose cars these are and at which rallies, I’d love some info!

Can’t count how many hours and roadtrips were spent in the back of that box truck, hauling around this trailer.

“Rennen 1” as the vanity plate just about sums it up. My mom literally named one of her daughters the German word for “Racing.”
