Racing was he r ' escape and freedom . If she couldn't race, she felt like an eagle without vyings. The only condolence is she died do ing exactly what she wanted. A small condolence to be sure, but desperately needed by the loved ones left behind . Memor ies of the times spent w ith her will never fade, she w ill be no further away than a picture or a remembered moment. We can take comfort in the times she m ade us lau gh and t he times she comforted us when we were , , down. Her warmth and sincerity made such a pos it ive difference in ou r lives. M ichelle may be gone from t h is world, but she will fo rever live in our hearts. There isn 't a word that describes the way we feel about her, I guess the one that comes closest is love. We'll m iss you. Mich e lle won her class in the Barstow to Vega s d es ert rac e in 19B6 a nd e a rned the W4 plate for District 37 d es ert racing for 1987 . In 1985 s he co-drove w it h Scott Ch ild in t he Ca liforn ia Pro- ra lly series. The team w on the Cal iforn ia Cha m pionship t hat year.
