DISCRIMINATION!!! How would you feel if there was an all male drift event that girls aren’t allowed to attend? And don’t say it was done to females years ago. I shall refer to the age old saying, “Two wrongs don’t make a right” ---

And don’t say it was done to females years ago. I shall refer to the age old saying, “Two wrongs don’t make a right” And I’ll refer to the fact that they were never _not_ invited. They just weren’t encouraged to come out. There’s a difference between excluding and simply not providing an “engraved invitation” ---

The only girls, are the driver’s girlfriends… Yeah, but now it’s not an explicit exclusionary act on the parts of Males. There are some rednecks and hillbillies that believe women don’t belong in auto sports but they will NEVER say to the general public that they are not allowed now for fear being torn apart by the media and the feminists. Because the only girls you usually see are the drivers girlfriends, that is only really a choice of that girl. They are in their right mind to ask for track time if they so desire. Just shows that they don’t desire it that much. ---

Just look at Paula (Speed\_Freak), she’d be pissed if I just made her sit in the pits while I turned laps. She wants her own 240 to go drifting herself…
