Topic: Women Riders of the FIM

[Ecosse]

i think it should be noted the women featured here never suggest they are making a "girl power" statement; they are simply competitors who happen to be women. as much as i dearly love women i am fed up with media hyping women in motorsports as sex objects.

They interviewed Melanie Troxel, the NHRA driver about how unusual it is for her to be a competitive driver, she said- you think so? I don't, there are a lot of women drag racers, no big deal. She just wants to be the best driver.

awesome! i respect the hell outta someone who just gets on with it.

shirley muldowney went along with the sex identity using the "cha cha" prefix but it was the sixties/ seventie after all... she was all business aside from that.
