I wonder if that'll air in Japan?! I'm sure I'll have to watch it when I get back.

I hope she does well. And with that resume, she could look like Hillary Clinton and she'd still be cute. Ok, not Hillary Clinton, but you know what I mean.

I just hope it's not another of these "get a girl to ride for publicity" things they put on every once in a while...

To be honest, I've never been able to figure out why women don't take over motorcycle racing. They are lighter than men (most of the time), have good stamina and decent strength to weight ratios. They are certainly competitive enough...

That makes 2 of us. From her resume she sounds like she could be the real deal though.

I think there's something in the Y chromosome that puts us in-tune with machines and makes us want to push them as far as we can. Except those needle and thread ones.

better reaction times too, and iirc they handle g-forces better due to their (again most of the time) more compact frames. men are supposed to be better at three dimensional thinking though which could go to explain why they aren't more prevalent in racing. those guys are doing lots of unconscious math out there. that said i hope she kicks ass!

She did pretty well in the Daytona 200, I'm looking forward to seeing her run again!

Wow, didn't know this......rode with her a few times when she was still in school
