At last week’s Clipsal 500 inAdelaide Betty Klimenko quickly became the people’s choice. The sociable,genial and convivial Klimenko was in her element amongst the fans in Adelaide;and as happy as a pig in mud.

She didn’t know about motorsport, or tattoos for that matter, until herlate 40s, but is now carving her way into one of the world’s greatestcategories.
