PIR Monday (almost like Tuesday): 26.8mph avg/16 laps



There were two women racing in the "Master's" 1-2-3 field on Monday

night.

It actually doesn't (or shouldn't?) matter whether a racer is male or

female; the question should be "is a competitor in the appropriate

category for their skill, fitness & ambition?"



The women who were racing on Monday were strong enough (and skilled

enough) to be there, thus, there was no issue with combining genders.

But then, this was not a Tuesday night event, which may be a slightly

different situation.

Any idea why the lack of interest among women for the Tuesday night

races?

And guys, how do you feel about racing with women?
