Actually, I totally agree that the ladies classes are "powder puff."
That's why
I run open class.... and for those who may be wondering about my L1 exploits in
Harrisburg, Wendover and the ProSolo Finale, let's just say there was a *very*
specific reason for that, and that it was related to the fact that I believe the
ladies classes are "powder puff." I'll sum it up with one question -- do you
think I
could have driven fast enough to win STS open at the Finale had I *not* been
running
open class for the last three years? Ignore the fact that the STS index is a
complete and total joke. I don't think I would have made the kind of
improvements in
my driving that I've made over the last three years had I been languishing in
the
ladies class. And you know what? I don't care whether other female drivers agree
with me or not, especially after how I was treated by most of L1 and some of the
things that were out right *said* to me at the Finale.
Some people wonder why the ProSolo isn't treated as "pro" as even
ProRally....
well, I believe that part of it is that the Solo community still obviously
believes
that women can't be as fast as men, despite the accomplishments of Shauna
Marinus,
Lynne Rothney-Kozlak, Teresa Neidel and others.
