I think it's a cool idea.

I don't consider it a 'handicap' - no more than I would a class like F40 or Supertwins.

I do think that a women's only class will attract people to the sport that wouldn't be racing otherwise.  For that reason, I beleive the class will be good for the sport.  I think Supergirl might be the perfect example here.

Plus, the paddock is a total sausage fest...

Yeah... but this isn't exactly the "girls in leather I was thinking about"

I'd like to think CCS is getting something ($$$$) out of this arrangement besides cramming two more classes into already busy weekends?

Negative and bitchy, I thought those were the traits of women.

Mr Gigolo I'm quite suprised you let this little farce go this far. The only way you (as well as myself and99% of the men at bhf) are going to give a shit about the ladies only class is if Alexa starts modifying their suits so that visible boobies are rightout there for us to enjoy to compensate for the boredom caused watching them ride. If it was not for my extensive talk with you and your lovely wife at the banquet about our favorite porn then this little game you play with the ladies may have slipped by. So now that its out in the open lets hear some of those one liners you are so famous for! And please keep the topic on the boobies and bikes theme! Thanks in advance!! :boink:

its already been stated that the womens classes will run combined with F40, so how does that take up more time in the schedule? Its great that the women have a class to race in against their peers now and can also run in some of the regular classes if they want just like us F40 riders. Of course it can potentially put more money in CCS pockets if it brings out more racers, isnt that the point of being in business.

While each additional wave adds maybe 30-40 seconds to a race, I'll agree that's pretty negligible in "racer time", but its much more in "timing and scoring" time, that it turn will result in slower results posting and longer waits between races.

And it should be obvious that each wave presents an additional set of "starting hazzards", it increases the odds of a 1st corner pileup in addition to the "looping effect".  Each additional wave also creates another layer of lap traffic... or obstacles for faster riders.

I disagree that F40 is somehow safer, or slower.  Even if you right about the 40+ crowd riding less aggressively, it still doesn't make sense to add a "starter class".  Now you're going to throw a bunch of novices in with experts who already sense their own mortality.

The truth of the matter is that new riders have much more track experience coming into racing than those that started 10+ years ago when trackdays were much less common.  Whatever you want to call it, there is less need for this type of class than there's ever been.  If someone (male or female) is enjoying trackdays, but is too concerned about the hazzards of racing to jump right in... well, I don't think they need to be lured in with a gimmick.

   Most of the female racers I know are faster than me (not that I'm any kind of benchmark) and are at no disadvantage in either the talent or courage dept.  It just another extra class.  The economy stinks, traveling is expensive, racing will be down this year... does CCS need another 5 rider grid?

But I'd really like to get back the boob conversation...  Spider -Works  do you see a set of Push-Up Leathers coming?

When I was 19 a girl I knew told me that guys on bikes were irresistible.  I feel that girls on bikes is all of the same if not more intense emotions.  Look, this debate (if you could call it that) is dumb.  If you are  a hetero male racer, a specific time to look at girls on bikes should be welcomed with open arms, as well as an open invitation to hang out that night at your "off the beaten path campsite".  Racing really is a sausage fest, the only way my wife would let me go more is to have girls to talk shit about me with while she is there, she likes that.  Do you know how quickly she would forget about the money I spent on racing, if she was winning her races let alone racing period.  Its like marriage counseling without the bald guy in the room fuckin up your shit, trying to secretly bone your wife by sympathizing.

At least that reply sounds like you! :spank:

I'm not sure about this yet.  
I don't see any real reason for it, there isn't anything stopping women from racing now.  Besides, look at all the men doing it.  How hard could it be? :biggrin:
you've provided that, winning expert races.

Ok... I guess I am one "those" gals.  ;)  I am similar to Jen, I prefer to just be one of the guys.  I prefer to blend in with the other guys at track days, and be treated as an equal.

However, the idea of the cameraderie with the other gals has drawn me in.  I am now an officially licensed roadracer.  Now, I just gotta find the "balls" to do this! :) 

I just don't get enough of a chance to hang around like minded gals... I work, play, and socialize in the motorcycle industry.  Wash, rinse, repeat...

I am not independantly wealthy, so I am just going to play as desire and funds allow.
