The interesting thing is that I've heard a number of people (many who I repsect their opinion in motorsports topics) say she should have stayed in some lower series a bit longer and get more learning done.

Okay, I retract my last statement, all women BUT Sabine

I think Michelle Mouton managed to kick a few guys in the a$$ in the WRC during the 70's and 80's.

I have to say that women have a much better attitude for driving. They don't have all the macho crap to cloud their thoughts and they can concentrate on getting the most out of the car without letting personal feelings get in the way. You just don't see many women in any of the top racing series because they have a much harder time getting sponsor money. I would have loved to see the looks on the faces of some of those people as they were being past by a woman in a van. Priceless!

I could not agree more, Flash. I absolutely love female students.

Adrienne, are you paying attention? Are you doing TWS in 2 weeks????

Michele Mouton quote (from memory) after winning Pikes Peak in 1985:
"If you guys had any *****, you'd be racing down this mountain."

LOL. I have a buddy who raced desert buggies and trucks in the 80's and told me a Michele Mouton/Pikes Peak story. The gist of the story was that after receiving a lot of unnecessary crap for being a chick at the event she "accidently" got a little hot and sideways in a staging area, giving a healthy rock-shower to the offending parties.
