Fast women? And I was trying to be subtle to start with.
:wink:

You bring up a good question, why are there so few women in motorsports? From my perspective - initimidation factor, for one. Fear of the unknown, fear we can't do it, not enough supportive men to instigate us to try. Then when we do try it, we don't start off with enough confidence to push the car and our skills unless someone is coaching/mentoring/screaming at us to gas gas gas, brake brake brake, and to stop coasting!

But anyway, guys, encourage your girlfriends/wives/sisters/mothers/co-workers to try some driving events or experiences. Bring them out to an autocross and encourage them to be a passenger first. They might like it, and then they might want to try it too.

btw - Imprezton, you are charming.
