While the winning (as shown in 58) is "everything", the trying  
something too!! Look at #51, where Augustin Vita and Baraka Ibn Al  
Tamah are leaving on their last loop (28.8km/hr!!!!) sprint to the  
finish!!

And NOTE that Argentina supports their endurance team is somewhat  
less than the US (as is the case with many of the countries that  
participated. MOST of the people there did not have financial support  
from their federations. Most of the people paid at least part of  
their own way - ate their vacations from work for a year or so in  
advance and will be in debt for a while recovering from this WEC!

The US support could/should be stronger, but heart and a good horse  
can get there too!
