Soloist Rickli Named PPIHC Rookie of the Year

SCCA TireRack Solo National Tour competitor Savannah Rickli, of Littleton, Colo., reached a milestone in recent weeks when the 16-year-old driver was named the Rookie of the Year at the 88th Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Rickli became the youngest driver ever to finish the race in the long history of the event, but she did so much more than finish. At the end of the 156-turn, 12.42-mile course, Rickli was third in the Time Attack 2WD Class with a time of 13:58.232 in her 2003 Mini Cooper S. At 16 years and 334 days, Rickli needed a special exception from race official to run in the Hill Climb, which sets a minimum age of 18 years for its competitors. Rickli drove the event with Rebecca Greek as her navigator.
