But that was nothing compared to the people who made the comments about the car's styling and add-on aerodynamics. There were quite a few people who called the car "ricey". I couldn't believe it... do they not remember that this car won Le Mans?

Drew,
Dont know if you know me but Im David Habel, Ali's nephew. I believe I met you 3 years ago or so at Mid Ohio. Anyways, I worked with the race team for 4 or 5 races this year. At Lime Rock when Frank brought 007 it was amazing how stupid some people were. I heard a few comments about rice or whatever, and of course a lot of people didnt know what it was. By far the worst was a chic who basically sat on the front fender while having a pic taken. Literally the whole crew saw her, but it took us like 5 secs to say anything cus we couldnt believe she was doing it. Because of her, at the Sunday car show Graham and I had to stand by the car just to make sure people werent retarded.
The other funny thing about that weekend was it was shitty weather and no one could believe he had the car out. Anyways, thought id say hi.
