once again, we all know she's making rookie mistakes.  no one is disputing that, Funked.  

imagine what she'll be capable of once she learns enough to graduate from dweeb-hood.

jab... I guess you hit on it.   I am not interested in watching the heirs to nascar and their life of one big comercial either.

I was kinda watching and participating in the various racing games when the little guy who built em in his garage had a chance.   Autocrosses were (and sometimes still are) an informal thing of run whatcha brung... and not on a trailer.. It really wasn't that long ago.  women will never do well in that type of racing unless they are simply given the ride... brought out only to drive.

Some racing sports are still like that..  The Camaro Mustang Challenge for instance is geared toward the driveway mechanic and racer.

Competion is good but when it becomes too comercial I lose interest... when people can easily buy a victory it really isn't racing that is worth me watching.

I don't watch any sports tho... If I can't do it..  There is no point in watching a bunch of spoiled athletes doing it.   I would never watch a basketball game but I would consider going one on one on a court with a friend.

We now live in a world where even the smallest competition "inspires" someone to spend 10 times more on it than the average... bikes trailered to things like sturgis... parking lot autocrosses with people trailering in their cars...

On reflection.... I guess the racing sports are about ripe for a bunch of women drivers.   Just like the world is ready for electric start, softail Harleys ridden by women.

If you never have to use it.... upper body strength is unnecessary.

  Oh man, I`m gonna have to agree that is some of the best racing, bar none. Hard to find these days unless you are lucky enough to be around some still small tracks.
  Some of the best racing ever around here was at a dirt track  stuck back off in the sticks about 15 miles on a sand road back in "the days". Old coupes and such , chopped down and built under shade trees, barns and makeshift garages.
  I was also lucky enough to witness the makings of WoO. This was before big money sponsors got involved and turned it into total commercialism as far as backing, etc. goes. Watching Slammin Sammy, King, Madden duke it out when they still did their own thing was awesome.
  I still love to watch WoO races, but it`s just not the same now.
  We have one track around here that had, until recently mostly homegrown sprints, but it has slowly became big business like the rest. Sort of a shame, but understandable from a business perspective I guess.

I am kinda getting interested in that camaro mustang challenge thing...  You can even have a car built for like 8-10 grand that will be guarenteed to run in the front of the pack... their are sever restrictions on modifications and 40 grand won't make the car any faster than ten.   Most are built or at least maintained in the driveway.  

You won't be seeing a lot of women in this game.   There is no point.   Some boyfriend will ineveitably tho... work for months and do all the grunt work and then buy his girlfriend/wife/daughter a helmet and let her run.   IMO... she doesn't "deserve" to.

Hey look at this, woman beats man in a boxing match.


"In the much hallooed Male vs Female four round match, Margaret MacGregor (127 3/4 lbs) of Bremerton, WA battered Loi Chow (123 lbs) of Vancouver, B.C. and took every round to win a unanimous decision. Three judges all scored it 40-36 for Macgregor. "

thrawn... I find it pretty much impossible.  I guess asians lack any upper body strength.    Don't know much about asians but now I know that even girls can beat em up in a boxing match.

  Yep, she stalled the car........and recovered from it.
  Yep she made contact with a car...and recovered from it.  That`s part of racing. Old saying..If you ain`t rubbing, you aint racing. That was the either the 3rd or 4th side brushing contact that was made in the race. She was the only one that regained control without wrecking out. :)
    Her nose wing was lost in the restart contact. Allison and another driver in front of her was playing grab bellybutton instead of steadily coming up to speed. He got his butt in a crack and jammed the brakes.
She lost quite a bit of time in the pits and still recovered and ended up back in the front.

That is what I was looking at.

I don't think it is a great idea to force the blurring of the sexes.   Somebody allways gets hurt.

She's too sexy to be true. Unless she's lesbian, just like I am. :rofl But honestly, I'm too sick of all that female power games. Men are men, and women are women (with a few exceptions).;)
