BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Cars Female Racecar Drivers

Hi ya'll. I just got this DVD (Fast Women: The Ladies of Auto Racing) about female race car drivers and the challenges women face in motorsports . It was really a great documentary - very inspiring - and I thought others might be interested. I didn't realize that there are over 30 million female Nascar fans. It's a shame there aren't more women behind the wheel. Any aspiring women drivers out there? I wish you luck and I highly recommend checking this documentary out!

challenges? like what putting on makeup at the same time? J/K

I just found out that my work sponsors a woman sprintcar driver: http://www.erincrocker.com/

I don't follow racing myself (unless it people using just their legs!), but I think that's very cool of them!

hi! i was just browsing the forums when i noticd this topic. which pulled a few strings for me. glad to see there are more women drivers than i thought.
i haven't been in the racing scene since i was 13. i don't know if this counts as being a racer but i LOVE to "race" the streets or highway or whatever. i don't have schancy cars (my best is my mercedes) but i still feel the need for some serious speed.

anyways, i'm 27 now and haven't quite grown up in that respect. i originally came to this forum hoping someone might know where to get a certain car. but i think talking about female racing is better.
i don't have alot of car freak friends here in hollywood that i can vent to. so... "hi!" :devil:

i got 24 points in 2 weeks on my license so i lose

that was after driving around like a maniac for 2 years.

went to court and had most all dropped to about 9 points got my license back, now i get pulled over on my pedal bike no joke - twice in a month. <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

WOW! on your pedal bike huh?! what the hell are you doing?

my record is almost spotless and i've been driving since i was 9. guess i'm kinda lucky.

yeah there's about that i can think of right off the top pf my head 5 female drivers in the NHRA 1 is in the pro stock bikes another in top fuel and i think 2 or 3 in funny car i personally think it's cool.

lets not forget to include my personal favorite:Danica Patrick.

Talent, smarts AND looks!

I crossed this wesite by accident, but glad I did...I race outlaw Super Late Model stock car in Columbus, Ohio. It's a NASCAR weekly series sanctioned track. It's the ultimate thrill, but it comes at a cost (very little time for a social life, no money for shopping, oily clothes and never a date who tolerates his girl racing). But to do something that most racing enthusiasts dream of...
