Hiya All,

I have been reading your posts and there is a mixed reaction the Ashley....... and even though I race a 9.5 sec car, I still get the same reaction even though I have a consistent car and yes..... I too have put a hole in my block on the burnout pad in front of everybody, and you could just imagine some of the comments I got.... one was - 'that's what you get for letting your missus drive your car', was one I heard from an 18 yo that probably has'nt even raced before, and by the way, the engine spun a bearing, dropped a valve and put a hole in the block!

i know what 5 and 6 sec cars are all about, alot more aggressive, harder to keep the power down, harder to stop spinning the tyres off the rims, totally different in every way from a 12 second streeter!

I think any driver, male or female can race cars, 5 secs or not, Drag Racing is an equalizer between Men and women, its not about physical strength, its about mental and emotional strength and reacting when it counts, beleive me it took me 3 years to understand that!

Don't judge people too quickly cos their male of female, wait and see what they can do as we don't know what they can do until they are put to the test!

Oh and Congrats to the Force Team, it was good to hear they had a victory after a sad loss,

Cheers,
