I have zero problem with females in NA__AR. They've been part of the sport since the very first race. (Sara Christian) Right now there are two in the ARCA pipeline who have potential. Ally Owens and Gabbi DeCarlo. I don't think Gabbi has that much of a future because she's going to graduate from college soon with a pretty good degree.

What bothers me is the circus the media turns the sport into whenever a female shows up with helmet in hand.

The media, in this example, reminds me of when some truckers are driving down the boulevard gabbing on the CB when a female trucker comes on and tries to intelligently enter into the conversation. As soon as the female voice is heard, 90% of the male talkers get an instant case of macho dumbass and start sounding like immature jerks. Any professional drivers out there will know exactly of which I speak.

I believe NA__AR needs a female who has come up through the local track stock car ranks, not a dramatic pseudo-diva from a completely different genre of racing.

My take on it is, if you can do the job... great. If not, get out from behind the wheel and give the seat time to someone who can do it better. Man or woman, young or old.

But I'm getting longer in the tooth now so I do kind of have a certain distain for the Pampers drivers.
