I was also hoping Sarah would get a better shake. The last I heard she was out running a feeder NASCAR series out west (CMC West champ Don Campbell runs, that's how I found out). Another gal who has talent is Kathryn Legge (Brit), I think she is running Formula Atlantic. Neither of these talented drivers has the shot of a young guy or cute female driver. Older guys trying don't get a fair shot either... the best man at our wedding got an invite to be the driver for a drag racing team. His talent was not in question. When the team management found out his age, late 30s, they pulled the plug. Funny in motorsport that is considered old. Have they heard of Paul Newman? Out west I had the priviledge, until he moved back east, of driving with Don Trask, now aged 71 (and still driving, he will be at the Nats). He routinely kicked my butt!
What a machine it is that propels the sport we love...it ain't fair and it discrimates because it is simply out to make a buck the easiest way possible. (IMG:
