Another milestone. Wish I could have seen it.

Hunh? What did you say? < looks up from latest "Swimsuit issue" of Sports Illiterate >

Good for her.

I am still irritated at them for making a minimum weight for the drivers. She now is at a disadvantage at 100# because she is not as strong as the men.

(I wouldn't want her mad at me though!)

I just read the coverage on espn's website. There is a nice article referring to Janet Gutherie who raced at Indy and in Nascar and scca in the sixties and seventies. I met her up at Elkart lake historics a couple of years ago and have a signed copy of her book. She is a classy lady who was a hellofa driver. If she had had a chance in a first rate team she would have won back then for sure, IMHO.

Her book is a very very good read. I recommend it.

BTW she is about six feet tall with very very long legs. They had to modify her Indy car to fit them in.

A girl that likes speed and is hot? I'd hit her twice after I had wet dreams about her.

Former Mercedes DTM driver Ellen Lohr and current DTM driver, Susie Stoddard, should also get a mention for women at the top of the motorsports game.

They (all 3), give you everything you want. Boom Boom long time.

No way that list is complete without Ashley Force. She's not even really noted as a "female driver" anymore (in drag racing circles; of course the media can't say anything else about her); she's just a good driver.

and to be clear, while I respect both Danica and Ashley as drivers and as athletes, I would indeed hit that.

The driving makes them that much more hittable. Not that they needed it, but still.

Also, lol @ the weight issue. The lighter the driver, the lighter the car, the faster it can go.

t walgamuth · #14 04-22-2008, 12:27 AM

But now Indycar has required minimum weights and Danica has to carry ballast. Auto racing is the last bastion of the small person.

(was)

Too bad.
