Girls can get quite good at certain things. There are differences though. I have one freind who will cook most guys behind the wheel of a kart. (.03 off my pace last time I took her to a track)

Totaly different styles though. She does best in helter skelter stiff setups, I prefer steady/smooth.

It amazes me still just how slow some guys can be. Talking on a 36 second curse, doing laps in the freaken mid/high 40 seconds, sometimes 50 seconds. I have only raced with 3 girls who have been within seconds of teh normal pace. One of them is an airline stewardess, (3rd fastest). 2nd is of all things a long term student.

Most girls do not have the competetive drive in racing. There is something in me that will kick it, mostly with remote control cars, and every thing is perfect as I can do. Last year I was racing a several year old car, with an outdated eletric power plant against the latest Nitro's, and crossed the line in 1st every lap except for the first one, then unfortunately my battereis wheren't up to the longer race distance they run these days, but I was dead serious. I have never in all my years of being at an RC track, seen a female with that same drive. There are some "good" ones, that can and have won races, but not "perfection". (Something tough to acheive I will say with a high speed RC car, you are isolated from feeling what is going on, you totaly go by visuals, can only see as far in front as your mind can keep track of, yet you also have to watch the car to see what its doing, blah blah...)

Anyway, in the line up picture, 4th from left I found. Front right in the first. Anyone rember the al female team at Daytona 24 hours and Porsche 917?
