If the ladies classes are there to encourage women to JOIN the sport,
how long have you been driving in them? Is this your first year? Would
you quit driving if the ladies classes didn't exist? Or do you just
like to win instead of finishing 15th and not getting the free tires?
Answer those questions honestly and you will see why ladies classes
bother some people. Karen Kraus would have been 2nd in FSL and in a
direct contest may have been challenging for the win so she could get
her free set of tires. Then she could have been a "champion".
