> I hope the girl stays with it and will one day be the one who mixes up the "big boy competitions"! Would be nice to watch...

Agreed (I'm pushing 44 btw -- too young to complain about being old, but too old to ever become truly fast -- The truly fast are on that trajectory by age 10, give or take. I remember seeing some very young Haydens and Master Spies not so many years ago (back when I was just a spectator) and thinking -- Jeez, those kids are fast. One of my first trackdays saw me majorly scared by Ryan Andrews, who now runs around 5th-ish in FX with little more than privateer infrastructure. Must be nice.

And the girls are already mixing it up. Last year saw one of the D-class (can't recall SB or SS) come down to the last round between two women, who did eventually go on to take 1st and 2nd. Had a 3rd gal not crunched her hand at Hallett, it very probably would have been a 3 way at the end, especially given that the final round was at the 3rd lady's strong/home track.

None of them are super young though. E.M. is the first one I've seen that is not only fast, but on the right trajectory, age-vs-speed wise. Will be interesting to watch. The two wheeled Danica?
