Even more remarkable was the fact that the winner was Stormy, piloted across the finish line...
...heard on more than 50 stations across the U.S. Deluged with up to 20,000 calls a night, the three superfans attack what they call the "hidden injuries of class" by blasting everyone from politicians who hog tickets to the "phony, bigoted yachtsmen of the New York Yacht Club." Though they have broadened their attack to suit their national audience, they still hit home the hardest.
