What's the point of this thread continuing, when bortall's last 3 post have nailed everything down?

I'll accept that my wife started attending motorsport accompanying me, but she's now a highly accomplished marshal in her own right. Which suggests the problem is not with women in motorsport, but with the promotion of motorsport to women. Who cares how anyone gets involved, it's what they think once they're there that counts. Knuckle-dragging cavemen don't help, but fortunately they're in an ever decreasing minority.

We have a Women in Motorsport thread so why expand that discussion and keep this one for discussing the Shannons Nationals??

They got ME involved in circuit racing, such was their passion for the sport. In the circles we move in there is no shortage of female Motorsport enthusiasts, competitors or volunteers...and keeping on thread, mainly involved in SN. What did I get out of 5-odd years racing at every SN that my category attended? Camaraderie, intense competition, friends for life, an empty bank balance and the best time of my life are but a few of the superlatives. Did I give a rats about who or how many was in the crowd other than my friends and family? Absolutely not and I'm sure I speak for 99% of the nationals competitors, certainly for my category mates. It was all about the racing and selfishly or not, our fun. Saw in the news from Sydney what kind of fan you get with lots of promo girls. Yeah, need more of them. Great for family events... |
