What do you think of “women” drag racer? Let the debate begin….

[tork]

I saw that Angela Proudfoot is one of the newest additions to the drag racing series at NHRA. What do you think about this? Good or Bad.

[SmokingTires]

They're just as good as anyone else. Then again, it's drag racing... What skill is needed there?

[Razo-E]

Um....I hate to break it to you guys, but women in drag racing in nothing new. Anybody ever heard of Shirley Muldowney? She started drag racing in 1958. She was very sucessful. In 1977 she was the first woman to win the NHRA top fuel championchip. She went on to win 2 more top fuel championchips in her career. More recently you have Lisa Kubo who was the first FWD driver to break in to the sevens. When I went to the Powerade seriese last month I saw Ashley Force, John Force's daughter, run. There is no debate. Women have been in racing for decades, and will be there for quite some time to come.

It's just someone in that sport that us straight guys can bang. Just Joking, yeah it's great, seeing the girls out there too, the sport will grow bigger, But drag racing, sure it takes mad skillz to launch with perfect r/t but honestly, where are the grass roots, and the big timers, yeah yeah Danica, it was nice to watch Shauna Marinus as well, shes a really great driver.

yea more power to em until they take all the attention away from the guys like Danica Patrick did during INDY autograph sessions

that is retarded, having her own line, I really wanted her to win indy but come one, dont rank her next to god compared to the rest of em.

Girl drag racers isn't anything new. It's cool that girls drag race just as much as guys do.

Woman drag racers are like women who fight....not very ladylike. Every girl I've ever met at the track was a total bitch, who I would never date. Same thing with every girl I know who drives a stick. They may be fine to spend the night with but no one you'd ever marry.

Men race (and fight) usually because they have something to prove. Tell me anything you want, you'll be lying to yourself. If you race, you do it to prove yourself (either to yourself or to others). There is nothing wrong with this, it is testosterone's fault.

Why women fight, I don't know. Why women want to go race, I don't know. My wife does not want to fight or race, she is ladylike. I like her that way.

Drag racing many do well. Solo2 they can be dangerous.

[Bakemono]

I think that if a woman wants to race and has the talent to compete, good for her.
Twice a year there is an ATV racing event close to where I live and theres this family who's daughters race (2 daughters and a cousin).
They are very hot and very talented racers. Also, they are very nice and gracious. They will talk to anybody and dont talk trash. They just line up, win the race and move on. In fact, they will help out other racers with set-up and racing technique advice.
I do think all the attention given to women racers is getting out of hand. Someone should get attention because they are talented, not because of whats under their uniform.
Cap'n

u post a very stupid debate, like the other guys said-ITS NOTHING NEW-

I watched Melanie pilot a top fuel dragster at Gainesville this weekend at over 300mph. She was the top qualifier at the event. You go girl!
